Following the twetts from #CasaDoSaber, I thought about how the teacher measure the participation of a student in a wiki. Have the number of revisions with the user have made changes… don’t look at the quantitative perspective but the qualitative one.

I will look again the wikis focused on education and see better these points.

Yeah :) working on “the Rails”. I am not talking about the framework (only), but a better perspective about a job and my career.

Have passed one month before I quit my fixed job.

In this time, I traveled to Brasilia a week and I studied a lot. :)

That is fine, now I am getting some jobs and looking for a full time career.

I am a good person and I am training to be a Javascript and Ruby ninja ;)

This is the first point, after started, I am always looking for new challenges (languages, environments, architectures, etc).

So, if you need a promising developer to do something and change the world ehehe, contact me :)
