London was great. I mean really great! The most important think was that I was with my girlfriend after a long time!!

It wasn’t my first time in London, but last time I was there only one day and it’s not enough to even get the feeling of this amazing city.
This time I saw the Big Ben, Victoria, Piccadilly, Camden Town (where I bought a brand new acrylic contact juggling ball ), Buckingham Palace, among other attractions. The Science Museum was so big that we didn’t have time to go to the Natural History Museum. One funny thing was that the 2nd floor add Mathematics and Computer’s story.

It was also an opportunity to meet Maja, one of Marta’s best friends. Thank you for your hospitality Maja! You are always welcome in Portugal!

There’s much more thing I could write about London (viewed from a 5-day tourist eyes) but I will let it for your imagination. Soon I will post some photos in my Flickr account!

Great trip, wasn’t it laleczka?

I’m going to London tomorrow!! Hooooooray!!!!!!! I’ll be back on Tuesday with news and maybe a couple of photos!

Cya!

I’ve been today at FEUP to the first phase of the Novabase Academy program (link in Portuguese only). I participated in the first series of psychometric tests, with typical questions with numbers, sequences, words etc.. followed by a personality test.

These kind of tests are very different from the one I’m used to. I never know how good I did…

Today I started to play around with Semmle! What a great tool this seems to be. I installed the eclipse plugin

Since I don’t know much about code analysis and metrics, the short descriptions for the queries shipped with the app don’t help me much, so here is a quite nice description for each metric.

The final step in my degree is a practical internship. I had many options, including staying at University in a research project but I wanted to start in the real world.

I’m doing my internship at Critical Software. The project is “Enabling offline execution of the WOW! Product”.
WOW stands for Work Orders Web, and work flow and work orders management tool. It is based in Java using Stripes and Spring.

To do the offline bit, I was investigating many options, but I choose Google Gears to do it. It will be a prototype, covering only a very limited portion of the online functionality.

Welcome to my blog. There isn’t much to see right now, I will do my best to change that in a near future.

Whish me luck!
