The last iteration of my online log lasted for around one and half years. Now that time has passed for this version itself and as I write less frequently, I do feel an urge to change it into something different.

I’ve moved out the politics section and I’ve been trying a new thing: TechThatMatters is a collection of the most important news around the web that one must really read, in my opinion of course. It tries to be a public service for those of you without the time to go through all the 613 feeds I subscribe to.

This gives me more freedom to do what I want with this space (my main personal hub, I mean) but I am not really sure in which way I want to take it. This might reflect my position in life right now as I will soon face the choice of an internship that will be the first step to decide how will I get on with my career. Small company, Big enterprise devil, maybe going for a PhD, or even two of them. And with that choice there is another one: deciding if I should stay in my little merry boring town of Coimbra, move to Lisbon or even UK/US or somewhere with a good lifestyle.

Just as I return from the 7 months of holidays that were erasmus, I am still trying to adapt to the old rhythm of working everyday (and night) in my department. So don’t expect much activity until this changes.
