Nokia Sport Tracker - new version

A new version of Nokia Sport Tracker is available here. The new feature is access to satellite maps, but it doesn’t use Nokia Maps data, instead of that connects to the Sport Tracker service to download the maps. I didn’t test it yet, I hope do it soon.

Microsoft SQL Server DBA?

Life is very funny and ironic. When I finally decided get certifications for all my IT knowledge and got OCA, I was assigned a new challenge: audit a Microsoft SQL Server database.

How? I don’t know. The truth is, if you are DBA, you have the criteria to be a DBA in any database, and my first steps were subscribe to SQL Server Central and make some comparisons, in order to get the basic information that I usually get from an Oracle.

I hope share some tips and tricks, if I found ones. LOL

My Panohead

I did this panoramic head two years ago, when I were really passionate about 360° panoramic photos. I’m still an enthusiast and I hope doing some soon, but first I want to show mine to inspire others to make their own. I made this with wood, epoxy, nails, nuts and bolds. Here some pictures with my Canon PowerShot A710 IS:

Wii want to play

Last Christmas I asked Santa to give me a Wii. With 10 months of delay, my Wii arrived. My first impression is: it’s exactly as I expected, a full interactive experience where if you don’t move and burn calories, you aren’t enjoying.

I already created my Mii and explored the games. At the moment, I only have 2 discs: Wii Sports and Wii Play. My favourite is boxing, excellent as stress therapy. Also I’m trying shooting, tennis and baseball This is my Mii:



My next acquisition: Wii Fit. Yoga never was so funny
