Update on the Vespa
Well, it’s been about two weeks since I got the licence for the Vespa, and I must say it’s great! No traffic, no parking problems, no stress. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
Some info on the licence, for Portugal:
- If you have a driving licence, category B, issued before March 30th of 1998, you can drive a <50cc scooter. Anything after that, you’ll need to get a new one.
- To get a new one, if you do have a driving licence, category B, you’ll just need to do a practical exam. If not, theory and practical exam.
- After applying for the exam, you’ll have to wait around five weeks to get a set date.

Quick update
My Hack Bag
Inspired by Pete Savage’s post, here’s the content of my usual “hack bag” (and I do carry it everywhere):
- Swiss Army Knife
- iRiver H320 (it can do everything: play music, radio, video, minesweeper, record sound, double as a portable HD. I’m sure that if I ask it nicely, it’ll also make coffee)
- Sure headphones
- USB cable, with nine (9) adapters
- Gparted Live CD (actually a mini-cd)
- 1GB USB pen (with some PortableApps)
- Moleskine notebook
- Pens (the writing kind)
- 80GB portable HD (it’s a very recent addition, I’m still considering if it’s worth it’s weight)
- Sony Ericsson P990i (it does everything a mobile should do and more, like… tea!) (No, not really…)
- Lomo LC-A and flash (but I seldom use it…)
- Lens cleaning cloth
- Chewing gum
- Toilet seat covers (funny story this one: I “stole” it from a soviet era hotel room in Łódz, Poland, which says a lot about the hotel if the room itself had them. Yeah, you never know when you might need it.)
- Alcohol based hand washer liquid (you know, those Rituals things)
- Chapstick
- Matches and a lighter
I’ll put up a photo… eventually…
(Update) And here’s the photo:
If you click on it, you’ll be taken to it’s Flickr page, where you can see the description of each object. Yes, I know that there are things I mentioned on the list missing from the photo.

Quando crescer…
Na folha de contactos do meu curso do secundário, pus como profissão: candidato a presidente do conselho de ministros. Até agora, ninguém registou o facto.
PS: Isto foi há uns dias.
All I want for Christmas…
Someone get me this for Christmas: Blade Runner – Final Cut. Or else… I’ll just buy it myself.
