For those who doesn’t know, I already got back from Canada, and settled in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

I arrived on 11th May, and 1 week later I was already working on a company that I can’t say right now… but I assure I’ll tell it later!

Canada is definetly a place that i would like to live on! I loved each inch I saw, and I enjoyed everybody I met! Hope to live there some day… (more on this later!)

See you!

EM PORTUGUÊS
Muito tempo, nenhum post!

Pra quem não sabe, eu já voltei do Canadá e já estou “instalado” em Belo Horizonte, Brasil.

Eu cheguei no dia 11 de maio, e 1 semana depois já estava trabalhando em um lugar que mais tarde eu falarei.

Canada é, sem sombra de dúvidas, um lugar que eu gostaria de morar! Eu adorei cada pedacinho que vi, e curti todo mundo que conheci! Espero morar lá algum dia… (mais sobre isso depois!)

Até!

Unfortunately, I can spend my French in 15 seconds (je mapele Duda. Je ne parle pas français! je coupe le fromage avec mon main droite), so I will not be able to talk in French with our Québécois fellows… Sorry about that

But guess what? I do have some Brazilian Ubuntu T-shirts (four, to be more precise) and  I will be willing to give them away to the brave Ubuntu users who attend to our meeting.

I will arrive in Montreal around day April 22th or 23th, and will stay in Chambly, on my relatives house. As the party will be on a bar (which implies in drinking beer and getting a little drunk till late), it will be a little complicated to come back to Chambly. So if anyone are going to that side after the party or wants to receive a nice Brazilian couple to stay over night at their place, I would appreciate it a lot!

Tomorrow I am hitting the road (I mean, the rails, because it will be by train), and on Thursday (April 17th ) I’ll be  arriving in Halifax. I’ll stay on the Hi Hostel for the following days, and after that, heading to Quebec City.

If you are around on these days, let me know!

Hope to see you there!

As some of you may know, I spent the last 3 months studying the English language in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It was a wonderful experience as I had the opportunity to meet people from all around the world and also boost up my English skills. Time flies when you are having fun! However, its time to get on the road!

If you live on the following cities - Jasper, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, Halifax, Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa or Niagara Falls, let me know and I’ll be happy to meet you!

You can keep track of some of mine trips by checking out the gallery available on the right side of my website. I know that I have not been writing a lot these days, but from now on, I’ll do it more often!

Uhuu! Hoje (17/02) Eu fico mais velho… digo, mais experiente

As some of you may know, I’m studying the English Language in Vancouver, Canada (Business English and Proficiency). Today, while working on a project for a client in Brazil, I was looking for a way to hear the CBC (I usually hear it on the way for the college on my Generic Ipod).

After accessing their website and going through the regular way, I was unable to hear the radio streaming with mplayer. Googling cbc + linux, I found this article, Adopting Ubuntu… good reading, but not what I wanted. So I googled again for listen+cbc+linux

This time, I found “my precious“: some informations about streaming + cbc + linux/*NIX. But (and there’s always a but) as they are testing the CBC streaming under Ogg Vorbis format, they only let two options to choose for: CBC Radio One, and CBC Radio Two. If you want CBC+Ogg, that’s all you can have. It just works!

On the other hand, you can access the “All url streams page” and see a lot of streaming options (tons of cities and 16 or 32 kbps options). I don’t know why, mplayer neither vlc weren’t able to open it… Totem and Gxine did the trick. Was only a matter of runing the command followed by the streaming url, or going in File, Open Streaming… (or something like this) and pasting the url there.

I would like to let here my sincerely congratulations to the CBC.ca staff for making their content available, using open formats and remembering the *NIX crew. Thank you!

PS: I am learning the English language! Feel free to correct any word or sentence you find here by putting it on the comments. Believe me: you will help a lot! Thank you!

12/01 Moved from Hamilton, ON to Vancouver, BC, Canada - Wow! Lovely city! Fortunately I only had a few rainy days, and more then 5 open sky days. This is very unusual here. Everybody said: Vancouver??!?! Don’t forget your umbrella (which I did!), Vancouver is a rainy city!

If you don’t know, I’m here to improve my English language skills… So far so good. I got into a very high level at the English School (VanWest College) and also choose for a Business English Course, which is very challenging!! I already made some good friends from all over the world (Mexico, Korea, Japan, Switzerland, Quebec, Taiwan, Germany and so on)

I never had a lot of opportunities to talk and live in an English only environment. I did have (and like) to read a lot of technical texts in English for work (or pleasure?), but talking, hearing and writing (want to help me? check on the end of this article!) are quite new skills to play with.

Tuesday 29th Jan around 12:00 AM (western time) my fiance will arrive here, also to study English. Until this date, here is almost perfect. After, will be definitely perfect!!

The reason of the title is because I have to choose a Hockey team. I already have a hat from the Canadiens Hockey (Go Habs!!)… and here, the main hockey team is the Canucks… So from now on, those will be my hockey teams. One from the East and the other one from West. That’s it! Perfect

If you are in Vancouver or nearby, let me know… Ubuntu Hardy Heron is coming, and for sure I’ll try to motivate our Ubuntu Vancouver Fellows to make a party! We can hang out like I did with our Ubuntu Toronto good fellows!

EDIT: Thank you, Lazlo, for the English corrections!

Chegando lá, um caipira suarento e banguela, pede pra dançar com ela; para não arrumar confusão, ela aceita. Mas o rapaz suava tanto que ela já não estava suportando mais! A moça foi se afastando, e disse: - Você sua, hein! Ele puxou-a, lascou um beijo e respondeu:

- Também vô sê seu, minha princesa!
