I’m still not sure about the legal issues when it comes to a service like this one… Online TV Shows, movies, etc. directly from this site to your browser, using a DivX plugin…
Meanwhile, enjoy while it is available. Has a pretty good collection, including the latest House M.D. episode. 
Some time ago I talked about Slide.Show. A slide show web application made with Silverlight.
Now the same company has published Video.Show. It is an open-source video sharing portal system based on Silverlight.
Learn more about features in their website. The source code is available at Codeplex. Unfortunately I think that Video.Show it much more unstable than Slide.Show. If you interact with it before the whole page is loaded, you get some Javascript errors. The live demo is a little slow too.
Reparei agora que já está disponível no site oficial a agenda actualizada do evento. Já tem horas e tudo. 
I’ve done some improvements in this blog. First of all I updated Wordpress an all the plugins I use.
I’ve also installed Lightbox 2.0 for WordPress plugin which pop ups images in posts in a AJAX pop-up. No more open image in new window here (at least if you are not reading this from my RSS feed :-P)
Now you can rate my posts with stars, because I installed the Post Ratings plugin. This plugin has a lot of options and statistics. It is pretty nice. Another plugin from the same author is WP-PageNavi which I used to improve the navigation in my posts history. You can see it in the bottom of my homepage.
I added support for Gravatar in comments! Gravatar is a service where you associate an e-mail with a picture that represents you (an avatar). If a website has support for Gravatars, like mine, when you submit some article or comment and provide your e-mail, the Gravatar associated with that e-mail will be shown right next to your submitted content. With Gravatar, you leave your mark wherever you write, over the Internet (in websites that support it). Information about adding support to Gravatar can be found in the website.
An alternative to Gravatar is Pavatar. With Pavatar, you host your avatar in your own website. When you provide your website URL in comments or articles submition, the Pavatar enabled website fetches your avatar, and displays it. Same kind of stuff as Gravatar, but this time in a distributed architecture.
Now I am officially a Twitter user. What is Twitter?
“Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?“
Basically, you send information about what you are doing through the website, instant messaging, SMS, or any Twitter client application, and then your followers (people that you approved) are informed. They can follow you through Twitter’s website, an client application, or by receiving free text messages in their mobile phones.
I’ve installed Twitter Tools for Wordpress. In the widget bar of my website, you have my most recent Twitter entries.
A bunch of geek stuff. Usefulness? Well… At least now my website is a little more “social network-oriented”
Agora que já falei sobre os passos para colocar um site a funcionar, vou entrar na parte gira.
Configuração e administração do site! Começo por deixar referência ao painel de configuração Site Settings. Se estivermos autenticados como administradores do site, encontra-se disponível um menu Site Actions, no canto superior direito das páginas, abaixo da pesquisa. O painel de configuração do site pode ser acedido por este menu, escolhendo a opção Site Settings.
Uma coisa que me chamou à atenção foi a existência de um link para uma versão do portal para dispositivos móveis! É em texto sem formatação cuidada, parece mesmo feito para acesso tipo WAP e não para dispositivos com rendering de HTML mais a sério.
Nesta secção pode-se fazer a atribuição de permissões a utilizadores, alterar o título, descrição e logotipo do site. A cor verde que podem ver nas capturas de ecrã foi conseguida com a aplicação de um theme pré-existente (opção Site Theme).
É possível definir os links que aparecem no menu superior de navegação, bem como na zona lateral de Quick Launch.
Existe uma opção para salvar o site actual como template. Só experimentei 1 vez e obtive 1 erro… Um dia destes tenho de pegar nesta funcionalidade. Também nesta janela se pode apagar o site e criar sub-sites entre outras coisas.
Na captura de ecrã acima podem ter uma visão das opções disponíveis.
Ahmad Fathy is an Egyptian Microsoft Student Partner who has started a series of blog entries written from MSP’s from all over the world.
He has received an Hello from Jordan, Italy and France. Today it was published an Hello from Portugal entry written by me.
I wrote a little bit about my country, my university and the Portuguese Microsoft Student Partners program.
Thank you for the opportunity Ahmad.
