Looks that Drupal is having a great year: Drupal won the best Open Source PHP CMS Award. Even more, the White House official website is built with Drupal. It’s really getting a lot of interest nowadays.
Hope that the version 7 comes out for Xmas

À semelhança do ano anterior, deixo aqui o endereço para impressão do calendário para 2010 com respectivos feriados portugueses. Se quiserem podem alterar o formato ou os parâmetros de criação do calendário.
Igualmente, para a malta dos calendários digitais, mantenho o meu calendário ‘Feriados Nacionais Portugueses‘ disponível no Google Calendar, já com os feriados de 2010 actualizados, em formato XML, ICAL ou HTML.
Bom proveito

I’ve been using for a while the VMWare Server 2.x for Linux and I’m quite happy with it. Unfortunately, this free product doesn’t offer some useful functionalities like cloning a virtual machine. It’s a pity because it’s time consuming to create all the virtual machines from scratch.
Fortunately, cloning a virtual machine is easy process but doing it manually it’s not free of error-proning. So, I created a small and simple bash script to handle this process automatically, smoothly and clean. The script, called vmclone (oh, I’m so original!!), is available at my github account for the public to use it.
Let me warn you: it’s a very simple bash script that suits my needs and may not suit yours. Feel free to modify it and to send me some feedback or suggestions in order to improve it.
Have fun!
