A List Apart redesign

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

So here it is, the fourth generation of the most respected A List Apart. This is one of the online resources I have relied the most upon to learn new techniques. Their latest edition includes a discussion of PDF accessibility, by Joe Clark; Jim Coudal on Business Blogging and more; and Jeffrey Zeldman takes on a journey back in time, through the different ALA designs. Enjoy.

Week off over

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

I’m back from… well, nowhere. Staying in Lisbon in August has its advantages, the main one being no traffic at all :D I went to the beach, got myself the start of a tan, and 7 days went by so fast I can’t believe I’m already back to work. I rested, that’s good. But I’m already counting the days until the next time off. Yeahh.. that’s how this year is being so far.

Férias e mais música

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

Amanhã, 4a feira, no BeerGarden (C.C. Vasco da Gama), 21h30, Mário Laginha Trio. Na companhia de Alexandre Frazão na bateria, e Bernardo Moreira no contrabaixo, vai de certeza ser um grande concerto. Entrada gratuita.

Para a semana estarei de férias. Esperem não me ver por cá. Quanto mais nao seja, porque o meu portátil avariou no Domingo, e a perspectiva não é de todo animadora. Já me estou a despedir do conteúdo do meu disco rígido.
Sem acesso ao computador nem à Internet, vão ser mesmo umas férias off-line, com muita praia, exercício e descanso.

Cheio de Música

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

O que é que pode ser melhor que um fantástico concerto de Gilberto Gil em Lisboa? Um concerto de Gilberto Gil com a participação da Maria João! A noite de Terca-feira foi inesquecível a todos os níveis.
Pedro e Gilberto
Conheci gente fantástica, ouvi musica que dificilmente pode ser melhor, estive com amigos e, como vêem pela foto, tive uma rara honra. A minha vénia. E mais não digo, porque às vezes as palavras faltam. Fiquem com as Imagens e os Videos. E ficam muito bem ;-)

Full of Music

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

What can be better than a fantastic Gilberto Gil concert in Lisbon? A Gilberto Gil concert, with special guest Maria João! Tuesday evening was unforgettable at all levels.
I met fantastic people, heard some of the best music you can hear, been with good friends and, as you can see from the photo, had a rare honour. I bow deeply. I lack the words. Here are the Pictures and Videos. Enjoy ;-)

The Return of the Mighty Mouse

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

Reinventing the wheel? Do we need it? I’ll need to test it first. Trackballs weren’t a success for me at the time, being left-handed and all… :) But I’m willing to give this one a try.

If you are in the Web business and don’t know it, do not waste a minute more and add it to your “Must Read” bookmarks. Here are some recent articles:

Enjoy, learn, discuss.
