So what am I working now?
Well lately i’ve been very busy, my current project is a web application which is powered by Java, struts, lots of javascript and last but not least, Hibernate.

I’ve enjoyed working with Hibernate in the last months, I think it’s very powerfull and you really simplify the time you take to make queries, of course it helps to have a uml model nearby.
If you want to know more about Hibernate and object persistance I suggest you visit Hibernate.org, there’s even a work in progress version for .NET, how cool is that?

On another note, I finished up the general look of the site, now all I need is:

• A better homepage
• Add more images to portfolio
• Upload curriculum in Portuguese/English
• Upload wallpapers and other personall creations
• Integrate with feedburner
• Integrate with Technocrati

Have you seen them? of course you do!
Apple showed at MacWorld Expo the new intel-processor based Macs which garantee speed improvements up to 4x. The design is pretty much the same, the new laptop dubbed MacBook has frontrow, built-in webcam and iLife 06. The desktop computer iMac has mantained it’s visuals and the speed increase is a good improvement.
It’s a pity no upgrades were shown for the Mac Mini, I was hoping to see some news on the matter but oh well, guess I’ll have to settle with MacBook for now.
Go and visit the Apple Store for more info and pictures.

For many years people have wondered if it’s best to turn off the computer at night or leave it as it is. In my case, I leave the computer on at work all the time, I think I only reboot once in two weeks or so but i’ve found an article which should give some clues to which choice is better, visit Leaving It On or Shutting It Off at NYTimes.

Oh, and I also noticed this very handy AJAX-based slideshow web application, it’s really great so head over to AJAX-S and take a look at the demo or download the application.
If you’re not aware of Ajax, try looking at this fine article at IBM.
