Hattrick: personal record!

The team is undefeated for 22 competitive games and has 22 consecutive wins.

19.03.2008	The team was kicked out of the Cup at round 4 season 23

Two personal records.
22 Games won in a row and for the first time in won in the 5th round of the Cup.

I’m happy now, i changed the training and i don’t have any injured players so let’s hope next Thursday i’ll be in 7th round

Beautiful day…

Valentine’s Day, beautiful day today.
Even if outside were -9C (feeling -17 with wind chill) it was a sunny day.
Lot of light… a good day to take pictures.

Now i just need time to sort them and upload the album on Picasa web.
One or two of the best will be posted on my “Imagine” photo blog.

By the way, is almost 8 PM and i’m listening music waiting for NBA All Star Saturday night to start. A friend sent me yesterday an invitation to join Mugasha. The best if you are a fan of electronic dance music. When the private beta will end, will (probably) be one of the best sites dedicated to electronic music.

New project @ work.

I have a new project at work and i’m happy about it

This new project will give me the chance to test a few new things.
One of them is jQuery. I always wanted to play with jQuery, moo tools, YUI, etc. but i never had time or a project where i can use one of them.

After the first day, jQuery seems easy to use. I needed only a few minutes to implement some tabs and add a fading effect when i change the content in a DIV.

No problems yet but i’m sure, i’ll hit one soon

Sabayon: touchscreen tutorial.

Finally, the Sabayon Wacom (touch, stylus, eraser) tutorial.

First of all, Sabayon already have wacom kernel module included and wacom tools in repository so, i will split the tutorial in a few parts:

1. Using included driver.
2. Compile from source.
3. Configure X server.
4. OnScreen keyboard.

Sabayon: after 62 updates…

Last 3 weeks i didn’t have too much time to play with Linux so, i didn’t even boot in Sabayon. A few days ago i finally decided to do it and make the touchscreen to work. The first thing i saw: 62 new updates.
Well, update then

Not a good idea. In fact, when i play with distro’s like Sabayon which include the latest packages i always expect something to go wrong after a big update. This time wasn’t different.

Next step, Wacom driver (tutorial will come soon). Super, working from first attempt.

Sabayon: scrolling && compiz.

This is not a Sabayon related problem. Probably is happening no matter what distribution is used but I will try with an Ubuntu Live just to be sure.

While looking for tutorials, tips, tricks to setup the Wacom digitizer i have to scroll a lot and every time i have huge problems. Because of scrolling, the entire system is freezing for a few seconds. This happens almost every minute and is pissing me off, really.

Watching the system load with top, i saw the Firefox and X using 100% of the CPU. After searching with google and checking tons of bug reports Read the rest of this entry »

Sabayon: grub recovery.

Two weeks ago i installed Windows 7 Beta to see why peoples have so many good words but, with this install i lost grub and i wasn’t able too boot in Linux until now.

Not that the grub recovery is hard but i didn’t have time until today.

Grub recovery is easy. Only a few steps to follow.
