This was a postponed decision, because I did not liked to listen to an experienced counselor.

Sun Microsystems is in the way of closing MySQL, which is a "feeling" years ago, but has never crossed the red line of "minor risk". Unfortunately this is a sad reality today. The good news is that FLOSS is an open space for alternatives in most of cases.

So where am I going now? I'm going back to PostgreSQL, although is rigid but that guarantees will be that way for preserving the FLOSS philosophy.

It is sad to me that my old compaq nx9030 has been sold :( but thanks to God now I have a new Toshiba a205-s5804. This baby is running with Debian sid amd64 kernel because his Dual Core T2330 processor supports EMT64.

Seems powerful right?, well, my wife used the old laptop until has been sold, and now we got "fighting" to use the new toshiba... then, in order to preserve my marriage and aid the hearth by saving energy cost, we decided to use it at the same time, how?

What do I done in the latest 3 months? see below:

Browsing a while I found cool stuff about "Agile Philosophy" of web development, take a look at awebfactory.

I'm consternated with my Debian sid, I can't capture my screen with xvidcap or istanbul anymore, marvil told me that they work in Ubuntu, why not in Debian?

It was a pain the ass to research for a good an usable solution for me, because I have an old laptop CPU(Centrino 1.8Ghz), but 2 weeks later, here is the best solution I found at the moment. Sox is a "Swiss army knife of sound processing" with sound recording capabilities and ffmpeg is a "multimedia player, server and encoder" with screen capture capabilities.

One month ago I was experiencing memory leaks with Firefox.
I did a fast check with "top" command and seen that when Firefox was running it started to overcharge Xorg, making it to use more and more CPU and Memory resources, near 95%!!!!!!!!
So I've decided to use Opera. That was a nice experience to use that super-fast browser. The problem is that Firefox is a key tool for my working day (I'm web developer).
Today I've launched Opera from the command line, and noticed this warning:
"opera: X Shared memory extension is not available. ZPixmap not supported"

It is one of my first posts in english(recovered from: http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php/topic,137025.0.html): I don't know if it is new, but today, alfer a large week of intensive research, finally i had discover a way to access visual foxpro databases directly from linux. What do you need? download, compile and install CLIP from http://sourceforge.net/projects/clip-itk/ then put the vfp table into the same directory of the next script:

file: testdbf.prg

use dbftable
list columnname

"There are three main difficulties that an inexperienced developer faces when trying to understand JavaScript as used in Drupal:

1. The lack of documentation,
2. The OOP style of programming,
3. The confusion between all the different elements and API involved

Let me talk about the history(hehe)
I was webmaster of somesite.com from october 2006 to march 2007.
In January 2007, my new boss wanted to port current home made CMS to a solid platform.
My boss choice was Java, using JBoss(I still smile when remember). I've made research by 3 weeks...
Drupal was the winner, core+community comply at least 80% of full somesite.com functionalities,
the other missing had to be just 2 months of customization and integration of special funcionalities, then the theme and final testing.
