GnomeMeeting

Sorry, this first part is for those that can understand portuguese. Sim, o GNOME deveria facilitar as coisas para os usuários finais imbecis mas, santa natureza... enquanto testava o GnomeMeeting (voz sobre IP, pra fazer ligações pelo computador), em alguma batcaverna de um servidor IRC:

[11:03:02] <caio1982> essa foi demais
[11:03:20] <caio1982> traduzir configuration wizard do gnomemeeting para Druida de Configuracao
[11:03:28] <caio1982> acho q minha mae nunca clicaria no icone por medo
[11:03:54] <spuk> hahaha
[11:04:55] <spuk> "o magní­fico amiguinho de configuração"
[11:05:41] <spuk> tradução ao pé da letra über alles
[11:06:31] <thefallen> tipo, nao existe mais InstallShield... eh StonehengeInstall
[11:07:30] <thefallen> tipo "seu Druida de Instalacao esta agora invocando um daemonio para
                       finalizar o processo de pacto com o capeta" 
[11:08:08] <caio1982> serio, acho q meu pai por exemplo nem sabe o q eh druida e ficaria com medo da opcao la 
[11:08:20] <caio1982> mais facil colocar "asterix de configuracao" 
[11:08:27] <thefallen> eh eh 
[11:08:34] <thefallen> Next Next Obelix
[11:09:56] <spuk> ouvi dizer que o "druida" de configuração do gnome não tem botão "voltar", pra não confundir os usuários
[11:10:58] <caio1982> nao tem mesmo 
[11:11:01] <caio1982> eh Regressar 
[11:11:18] <caio1982> o q nao faz muito sentido, mas pelo menos tem como *voltar*
[11:11:41] <caio1982> podiam ter colocado "Rever o Passado" logo

Eu odeio tradutores porcos e sem noção. Custa muito usar o cérebro? E não, o Kphone do KDE não ajudou muito... na verdade achei ele uma droga mesmo, e me pergunto desde então se ele realmente faz parte do release oficial.

Mozilla

The text above says about the stupidity of GnomeMeeting translators for end-users and this block is still about that mystical entity. There's a lot of nice tutorials and howtos around the Internet, but when the user need to understand how exactly a thing works in the interface of a program such Mozilla it becomes a little problem, at least for me. So, I decided to create a kind of "real tutorial", using a VNC server and a client called vnc2swf that records the session in the Flash SWF format to people can see it in their own browser, quickly, fastly, easy. If you wanna know more of this, check my page with examples and more details. Sorry, the page haven't a english version, yet. Bought to you by me, for the Mozilla/Brasil project ;)

ADSL

Yes, yes, yes! I got finally a ADSL! Goodbye my sweet and brave US Robotics ISA 56k.

Creative Commons

Next month will be simply amazing. I'm going to Porto Alegre (Brazil south) to participate of FISL (Internation Free Software Forum) and there will be the folks from CC.org and Creative Commons Brasil (the first public release of the local project). Lawrence Lessig and Ronaldo Lemos (interviewed by me some weeks ago, in portuguese). Also, I almost finished reading the Lessig's Free Culture book (need to do that before FISL) but you can check out a portuguese review of it wrote by me here - or a Google translation of this and the direct link for the HTML version of his marvelous and unique book. When I come back from there I'll post the link for some photos and a diary entry about the event.
