"Recycling is just a failure to reduce and reuse."
Recycling seems to be very fashionable these days, which is better than just throwing things into the bin and let them end up in a landfill. But for some reason, people are also turning to it as the holy grail of environmental problems - as long as it's recyclable or recycled, it's OK, we can consume more of it.
Uma das minhas gatas aprendeu a abrir portas fechadas
Uma das minhas gatas, a Miu, aprendeu a abrir portas fechadas. Ela salta para o puxador e espera que o trinco se solte. Depois desce e usa as garras para puxar e abrir a porta. Não lhe ensinámos isto mas é um truque que dá imenso jeito, porque assim não precisamos de lhe ir abrir a porta quando está fechada num quarto e quer sair :)

Say NO to ACTA
The European Parliament will soon vote on ACTA. The sad thing is that most people don't know what ACTA is - but the really bad thing is: neither do the legislators and politicians voting on it.

How to enable WebGL in Google Chrome in Linux with a blacklisted graphics card
Update 19/05/2013: Andy pointed out in a comment here that there's an easier way to do this with current versions of Chrome.
- Go to
chrome://flags - Enable the flag "Override software rendering list".
- Restart Chrome
Just like Andy points out, this «accomplishes the same thing, but via Chrome/Chromium settings and it is saved so doesn't require running via terminal or editing a shortcut parameters.» Thanks for the tip, Andy!

I'm moving to Scotland
A lot of people have been asking, so I'll just make a public announcement: yes, I'm moving to Scotland with my girlfriend. For those few who already knew, yes, there has been a slight change of plans. Long story... :P
