“A Programmer’s Life” is alive!

Hi there…
After nearly two months without writing, A Programmer’s Life is back!
And I’ll try to post new stories every day (but it will not be on Planet Ubuntu anymore (to avoid flood)).
See you…

* André Gondim is the last one, at the right
It’s hard to write this post, but I need to write to honor André Gondim. The notice came through twitter, later I confirmed through his facebook. He just passed away, due some complications with his health.
André Gondim was one of the major contributors of Ubuntu Brazil. He was the leader of Brazilian Council and leader of the brazilian translators team. I always said to him that he was a “non-translated strings hunter”. 
I can’t write anymore. I’m at UDS and all here who knew him is very chocked.

OpenShot on Ubuntu 10.04
Jan 1st
OpenShot is a nice video editor, but it isn’t on Ubuntu repositories yet. So, they have requested on Launchpad to be included on universe repositories on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). If you want to help, do to the request page and mark the bug as “Yes, it affects me”.

MLCP: Network equipments at low cost
Sep 13th
What to do when your business are in need of network equipments but are also in need of money? As I saw on a site, Multilink Communications Products may be an answer to your needs. Multilink provides good Cisco refurbished network equipments.
Well, you may know the Cisco quality, so it is a very good deal to buy good equipments at low cost. Although Cisco is the main manufacturer, they sell equipments from other companies, as seen at they networking gear.
But what’s the main worry when you’re about to buy some refurbished equipment? You may think: ‘And if I buy something that’s not working very well?’ Knowing this, they provide a 1-year standard warranty.
Still, they provide a service page where you can find an iten or call in an emergency situation. It’s nice to know that if you are in the middle of a crisis you can have a quick resolution. Multilink says that can solve quickly you problem due they have a large inventory which ‘ensures greater product access to fulfill your most diverse requirements’. Yet they ship equipment at the same day in many cases. And they even ship to world wide.
I’m not so good in networking issues, but I know that if we need good equipments, we need someone to call, expecially in emergency cases.
About cell phone gadgets
Aug 6th
Talking about cell phone gadgets, I always remember to protect my phones. It’s easy to drop down your phone or to sit on it and break.
I just received by mail suggestions about LG Cell Phone Covers and LG shine case. If you have a LG phone, please look at this, it may be useful. Since I bought a cover to my phone I can carry it on my belt or in my pocket with no troubles.
Or if you need to buy faceplates, chargers, data cables, or other stuff, you could search for LG or Motorola cell phone accessories. You can boost your phone or simply replace something that has a problem.
Don’t give up from your phone, you can do something cool with some accessories.

Cell phone accessories
Jul 26th
I like to have different cell phone gadgets and accessories, but I like to choose what I’ll buy thinking about if it would be really useful for me.
For example, imagine this: you go out with your friends. You have an iPhone, as all your friends. Few minutes later you see three iPhones on the table. Which iPhone is yours?
Well, it’s easy to avoid this problem in a fashion way: you can customize it with iPhone skins, so you can be sure on what’s yours. And you can get a very nice look to your iPhone.
But one of my last bought accessories was the leather case for my cell phone. My two previous phones displays got break inside my pocket. So, don’t let your iPhone without an iPhone leather case, it’s really dangerous.
And if you’re like me, you may loose you charger everywhere. The easiest way to be prevent this is to buy another iPhone or iPod touch charger and let it at home, while you have one always with you…
