Foi em Junho de 2009 que me mudei com a familia para Cork, na Irlanda (com umas 2 semanas de interrupcao por Portugal). A minha vida profissional tem-me ocupado bastante e os tempos livres tem sido dedicados ‘a familia, sobrando pouco tempo para o blog. Por outro lado, tenho usado mais o Facebook & Twitter em que nao e’ necessario gastar muito tempo para enviar as “breves” do dia. Em breve darei as minhas impressoes do que e’ viver na Irlanda, sob um olhar portugues. So’ me falta arranjar um teclado portugues.

Charles Fort, originally uploaded by Frederico Marques.

Charles Fort is built on the site of an earlier stronghold known as Ringcurran Castle, which featured prominently during the Siege of Kinsale in 1601.
The fort, which is named after Charles II, was designed by the Surveyor-general Sir William Robinson – architect of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.[2] The fort was built in the 1670s and 1680s to a star fortification design – a layout specifically designed to resist attack by cannon.

Went to Charles Fort, Summercove, near Kinsale. Stop by The Bulman Pub for a drink or snack on a cosy atmosphere. Looking from the window there is a great view of the harbour. Highly recommended.

After much speculation, Steve Jobs finally announced the Apple iPad. I love it, but there is one thing missing: no built-in camera. I was expecting to use Skype on the sofa with this nifty device. Should I wait for 2nd generation? Good coverage of the announcement here (Gizmodo).

Para mim, 2009 foi um ano de grandes mudanças. Ou muito me engano ou 2010 também vai ser igual. Quem não gosta de mudança que fique em casa e calce os chinelos, que está frio. Boas entradas e um 2010 com futuro.

I felt the need to document information and new things that I’m learning, so instead of using a notepad, why not put it on a blog? Let’s get virtual with All Things Virtual. Cheers.
