Até que enfim
Java 1.6 no Leopard, versão não alpha, não beta, não RC. Mas apenas para 64bit! Tudo a seu tempo claro. Ver no blog do Nuno.
Até hoje tenho usado um port alternativo de Java 1.6 muito engraçado, que nunca me deu problemas, chamado Soylatte. E cheira-me que o vou mandar ao meu lado, pelos próximos tempos…

O silêncio que marca tanta presença neste blog apenas significa que ando a fazer demasiada coisa ao mesmo tempo. Uma delas é organizar um barcamp na FCT:

Radiohead re-re-re-mixes
Finally I’ve found out what Radiohead are doing lately, through one of my “usually-first-click” feeds on Google Reader: dead air space. To sum it up, they have opened up a website that fully reflects the openness that the modern Web itself has lately managed to prove to have and that Radiohead simply understands: you can buy samples from their In Rainbow’s second single, “Nude”, and mix them all up in your favourite fashion. Then you can upload them in order to participate in an online public voting. Pure social media.
So, all the separate tracks (actually, they call them stems) from “Nude” are being distributed through iTunes, namely bass, voice, guitar, strings/fx and drums. I don’t think that I’ll give it a shot, I’m not very handy with these sort of things.
I have no doubt whatsoever that these guys are transforming the music just like the people that are really behind Web 2.0 have changed the way we face the Web.
It reminds me of an excerpt from a favourtie movie:
I like that. It’s like there’s this whole telepathic thing going on that we’re all a part of, whether we’re conscious of it or not. That would explain why there are all these seemingly spontaneous worldwide innovative leaps in science and the arts, you know, like the same results popping up everywhere independent of each other.
