About NunoNunes.org

Hi!

My name is Nuno Nunes and this (as the name implies) is my personal website.

As such the content of the whole site is provided under the following DISCLAIMER:

This site is strictly personal and has no affiliation whatsoever with any
of my former, current of future employers. Everything and anything I write
or provide in this site is either mine to give away, in the public domain, 
or it is presented with permission from the author.

If there is anything in here that you find violates these statements, I’d very much like to hear about it, so please drop me a line.

Anyway, in here I put up everything I feel like sharing or things I want to have available over the Internet for my own usage.

Feel free to poke around and come back if you like what you see, but please don’t use my pictures without asking me. If you do ask I’ll probably let you use them, but if you use them without permission and I find out about it, I’ll be really annoyed and do whatever I can to stop you from using them. I’m not a professional (or even a good) photographer but I do like to keep track of what my work is used for.

You may also like to go over the links to my old sites.

This site is (and probably always will be) a work in progress. If you are into that sort of thing you can check out the list of things to do.

Technical details (a.k.a. the geeky bit)

This site is served by an Apache 2 server from a collection of static files, previously generated by Blosxom.

Syndicating this site

This site provides several syndication feeds that you may wish to use.

At the present I provide ATOM) and RSS 2.0) feeds and each format is made explicit in the links below.

• Whole site: (ATOM, RSS2)
• Just the weblog (Nowhereland): (ATOM, RSS2)
• Just the projects: (ATOM, RSS2)
• Just the notebook: (ATOM, RSS2)

So what’s this about a notebook, then?

Welcome to my digital notebook.

I am Nuno and this section of the site is where I write down things that I want to remember later on.

The information stored in here is mostly relevant to me and it is therefore available to the world with no guarantees. I guess it goes without saying that some parts of the notebook are not accessible to the general public, as indeed other parts of my site. If you are family or a friend and would like to have access to anything in here which you don’t currently have (or even if you are none of those but would still like to look into something which is barred to you and think you may be able to make a good case for it) do drop me a line and I’ll get you setup with an account.

Please note that because English is not my native tongue, there are parts of this information repository which are written in Portuguese, most notably information which I imported from previous incarnations of my site, but also some things which only make sense to maintain in Portuguese.

Having said all that, if you find anything useful in here that’s great, enjoy!

Nowhereland - nunonunes.org weblog

This is my weblog.

It started out in 2002 (actually it was in 2001, but I’ve lost the very first posts since) and in here I keep a record of many things related to me, my life and my interests.

Contacting the author of this site

If you wish to get in touch with me you can try and reach me by the following methods (although I don’t promise I’ll always respond to instant messages from unknown people):

Projects by Nuno Nunes

In this section of the site I maintain pages and information related to various projects that I will find myself involved with.

The site itself is a project, of course, and other that that most things are of a software nature.

Events and anecdotes related to the development of the projects and other tangentially related information will most likely appear in the relevant weblog section.

About me

Hello, my name is Nuno and I’m a computer (and Internet) geek, systems architect, occasional programmer, hobbyist robot maker and all-around tech enthusiast.

I program mainly in Perl and my strongest involvement with the Perl community materializes in my being a member of the Lisbon Perl Mongers, founding member of the (now defunct) Cascais Perl Mongers and former vice-president of the Portuguese Perl Programmers Association - APPP, of which I was also a founding member.
Some metadata about me and my web presence is encoded in my FoaF file.
If you want to send me some encrypted data you can do so by using pgp. You will find my public key here (or in any number of the public Keyservers out there).

Besides the all the web and technology related stuff I also like to do many other things in real life such as reading, (amateur) photography, drinking tea, surfing, skiing, listening to (trying to write and play) music, …

My two greatest passions are, without a doubt, music and traveling.

To-Dos on this site

Even after I’ve managed to port my sites over to Blosxom and I was pleased enough with the result to launch it to the public, I still couldn’t really say that everything was up to par as far as what I wanted to do with this site.

This page presents a list of things I still need to work on and is my personal to-do list for the nunonunes.org site.

I fully expect that this list will never be over, but it’s nice to have a place to go over and see what I can work on next when the spare time comes…

So, here is the list:

• Fix the RSS 2.0 feed generating plugin (“enclosures”) and make it behave appropriately with post dates that are not UTC (as is the case on my site!);
• Implement simple authentication and authorization mechanism at the level of individual nodes (and possibly whole [sub-]sections);
• Check the weblog entries from 2002 (and early 2003) for formating —many will have become one huge string of text with all the conversions they already went through;
• Sift through all the articles and change the following items:
  • Turn all the HTML-like links into Markdown-like ones;
  • Find out all the links to earlier articles and change them to reflect the new location;
• Add support for an “updated” attribute to each article (in addition to the current “crated on”).
