It’s growing the number of unsolicited calls I received lately, once I went to a night club and they asked for my phone number, biggest mistake of my life, seems like they are going to call me every weekend. I’ve just created a contact called Spam in my iPhone, now I just want a replica of that website that stores spammers phones and a tools to sync with iPhone. Save us Phoneman!

I grew up in the middle of hackers, people that learned assembly before even speak, intelligent gentleman seeking the understandings of computers and systems, real computer lovers. Being in front of a computer 20 hours a day couldn’t be considered work, we grew, the first one of us started working, then another one, until one day everyone was well employed and starting a business life.
I always though that we were the beginning of many similar generations, that in ten years we would see ten times more hackers doing brilliant things for the world, but I was wrong, months ago I had a position for a senior C/UNIX programmer and the number of candidates was a shame, seems like people are much more interested in visual basic, delphi and java, and it’s not because there are not many positions available, ten years ago we had almost none.
Around fifteen days in the new year and all I can see is red candles in my graphics, reading my rss today was horrible, all markets around the world falling crazy, JPMorgan revenue, 34% less then predicted, Citi US$ 9.8 bilion loss, Goldman recommends selling Citi papers, Merrill Lynch reported a second straight quarterly loss after writing down US$ 11.5 billion of subprime mortgages and bond. Like we say around here, in a nasty fall, you’ll not pass the ground, buckle up.
