In the last Oct. First, Gnome 3.2 was moved to the Arch Linux Extra repository. Several new features and applications were added in this new version, but not all are installed automatically when you perform an upgrade from Gnome 3.0. That’s right, this is one of the bad things of a “rolling release”.

Recently a nice application called Gnome-Pie, made by Simon Schneegans, was released. According to the author it was inspired by an add-on written for the game World of Warcraft called O-Pie. I have to admit that it remembers me a lot PieDock, although it has a really different approach and usage, giving you the possibility to invoke a lot of different “menus”, you can even control you media player!

Many times, during our day-to-day as a programmer, we face with the need to analyze, search and return values into a string. There are two ways to proceed with this, you write the string anlysis manually or use a regular expressions, also called: RegEx

Regular Expressions

Regular expressions are a chain of character with it’s own meaning, generally used to search for patterns of text. They have many applications, but are generally used to extract informations from a text or to ensure that a group of predefined characters are present in a text. My goal in this article is not explain regular expressions, but to show its usefulness. So here we go …

The Rock In Rio Joke

Today begins one of the most popular rock festivals in the world, Rock in Rio. A mere detail is that, if you look at the schedule you will see that, what is most lacking in the festival is real Rock. Approximately 60% of the “big names” are not rock, it proves that the event has become extremely commercial. When Rock in Rio had an incarnation (six, to be more precise) outside Brazil I realized that this event was going down. For those who are not aware there were four “Rock in Rio” in Lisbon and 2 “Rock in Rio” in Madrid. Pure joke…

Brazilian Joke that says: Rock In Rio, I'm going... To stay at home, thanks.

What to do? I would suggest a Rock in Rio “Revival”.

Revival?! But who?

If the organizers of this event actually had some engagement with the Rock nation they would try to resurrect one of the most memorable moments from this event, the Queen’s show from 1985. You’re probably thinking “but how?”. Simple, calling the living members (Brian May and Roger Taylor) and a nice bass player to replace John Deacon. You must be wondering “but what about Freddie Mercury?”, right? Well, Freddie Mercury has already reincarnated, I mean, at least his voice has:

Not convinced? So try this:

If I close my eyes I can believe that (based on the voice) Marc Martel is really the new Freddie Mercury… Of course, after all this we must have the original:

If I had influence enough I would start a movement to boycott this joke called Rock in Rio.

Git, a distributed version control system created by Linus Torvals, has won many fans over the Internet. But this isn’t a mere version control system, it differs in many aspects when compared to its competitors, for example Subversion, Bazaar, Mercurial, Perforce, CVS, among others.

Although similar Git is different, and this fact frustrates many beginners. Just skim some of the many tutorials available on the internet to prove that some of these peculiarities has already taken a few nights of sleep from some developers. Since I am a novice in the art of using Git, I did some research on how it “works from the inside”. In one of my wanderings over the Internet I found a Git’s introductory lecture where Tom Preston-Wernet (one of GitHub co-founders) brilliantly exposes and explains the main features of Git. The lecture is called Mastering Git Basic, check out the video below:
