"Curticao"
    Yesterday I spent all day at my friend's beach house, she has a great house... but it is under construction. So the location of the LUAL changed to a other friend`s beach house, that is already constructed, and have a swimming pool :) I came back home like a zumbi, so i didn`t do anything on internet.

Eitchdot
    I simply don't know how to fix the security bug on my Project... The problem is using the password() MySQL function to authentificate passwords. When selecting a row, nothing returns... But sometime i will fix it.

Some Great News
    After a long time suffering, i finally have instaled my Slackware box. Right now i'm using it, and i feel so good... :) But there is a problem: the smbmount command wich supported a -c command line option on older version (< 2.0) now doesn't support it. And i will have to find another way to mount Win9x shares (actually, my brother`s computer). The weird thing is that the manpage for smbmount provides help exemplifying with the -c command line option, that is not supported anymore...

Wow, I had discovered a BIG SECURITY hole (authentification) at my Eitchdot project, and I will fix it this weekend. Right now, I'm going to my friend's beach house to have some fun all the day =) Perphaps after I come back, I will post some other news. I need to go now, I'm late to take the bus!

Now that I slept 8 hours, I can post some REAL information about my day.

I usually go sleep at 10:00AM, but today a friend of mine called me and invited me to watch The Gladiator, so I didn't sleep and I went to the shopping at 2:30PM to watch the movie. I enjoyed the movie A LOT, very good fights there. After the movie I had to go to my English Course, and I came back at 8:15PM and I, of course, slept in my beatiful and confortable bed. No programming at all on the Eitchdot project, only in the begging of morning, until I went swimming.

Some other things happened during the day: bruder offered me to be a editor at PontoBR, so I accepted and I'm only waiting for his answer. In the afternoon, before the movie, i tried to take my father's CD-ROM drive, because the one that i'm seeing now didn't work and I cannot install Linux because of that. But I only tried... The screw get kinda of hard to take out of the computer. Now I didn't know how to take out that thing, and i'm unhappy with this :~(

I think this was all that happened during my day. Right now is almost 5:00AM. Maybe this week I'll go to another friend's beach house, and on the other week, the LUAL will be very intersting.

Not a useful day, but it's ok. I didn't sleep after all since last night, so now (20:22) I will sleep... and some other time i will post a new entry with some informations about me and my projects. Now I simply can´t! I'm looking like a zumbi.

Ok, I admit... I'm addicted to coding in PHP... I work on Eitchdot every day, every hour that I am on the computer! When I'm not working on it, i'm reading the PHP3 Manual and testing different functions. I created a code describing my life these days, look:

while (Eitch == addicted) {
   wakeup("20:00");
   coding_php("20:01","08:00");
   swiming("08:01","09:00");
   take_a_bath("09:01");
   sleep("09:30");
}

That's my life... And by the way, i wrotte 4 CDs with my Anime Archives and now I have 3.5GB for installing the Linux distributions: Slackware, Conectiva, and Debian.And today I released the 0.3 version of the Eitchdot, that was code-revised and now have some more exciting functions. Well, now I have to continue coding...

Hey! long time no see! ok, i'm here with some great news. First, the university has stopped and my classes too, so i have much time left to do anything. Last week, studying PHP, i had an idea: write a news site with PHP & MySQL, like the sites PontoBR and Slashdot. So i began to create what i called 'Eitchdot', and when i noted that set of scripts could be util for someone, i released the code and created the project Eitchdot. Hehe, i realize that PHP is very good to work with HTML! And i'm still reading the C book that i took from the university's library... learning two languages in the same time isn't very easy :)

So, this was the news for today, and now i get connect every day at midnight (no classes rocks), and i will try to update this diary with the things i do for the open source community!

Hmmm... i'm not writting this thing every day, but it's ok. Don't writting means that i am not doing anything useful to the opensource communitty. Today i went to the ufs library and i take a book to begin C :) I'm really hungry for programming. But, only the destine will tell the results!

Spent all day on the beach house of a friend of mine. Lots of fun there, but since i didn't sleep last night, i will not do anything and sleep NOW! I can sleep for 24 hours if i could... :) Next weekend i will continue the studies of PHP e DocBook, and then, i will try to make CDs with my Anime Archives, download the CL5 and Slackware distributions, and install both of them in my computer.

These days i'm having some cool ideas on PontoBR, but i need to talk with bruder first, and appears that he is pretty busy these times.

Nothing util, just living my life. But tomorrow i will do much things on the beach :) Time passes... and i'm really needing a Hugo~$ ...

After a few days traveling, i'm back after all. I'm unhappy to see that the PontoBR only had two news in three days, when it usually have about 5-a-day when i'm here and not traveling... but that's the life, bruder moved to curitiba and stopped to post to PontoBR for a few weeks, i hope that he will come back posting things :)

Since i traveled, i didn't study things like PHP and DocBook, but i will terminate with these in a near future. I'm really needing a CD-RW to write my CDs with my Anime Archives, and finally put CL5 on my machine. I'm planning to buy another computer to have only Linux installed on it, and only for me (my brother uses computer too, Wind^h^h^h^h). I have some money, but i can't use it because i will travel to São Paulo on July. To make some money, i think i will go back to teach Linux on a company or something, or working for Conectiva S.A.... Only the future will tell me what would happen...

Ah! I'm accepting sugestions for what i write on the Revista do Linux Magazine, mail-me if you have some...
