Although the weather wasn’t the most pleasing, I decided to get back to my MTB weekend rides. Today (as a warmup ride) my brother and I took an all road ride to Praia da Barra, that is approximately 15km away from Aveiro.
Since I haven’t done any exercise since summer, my legs are very sore (can’t wait for tomorrow, when they will feel completely numb). But hopefully I will be back in shape in no time, in order to start doing more appealing tracks offroad.
An interesting side effect of these bike rides is that I’m taking a GPS with me that enables me to log the track. This information is very useful for the OpenStreetMap Project that requires your GPS logs to build a free geographic data repository (resembling Google Maps and Bing Maps). I’ve already contributed to the project in the summer, mapping some streets in Aveiro, but lots of places are still missing information.
My challenge is for you to take your GPS along with you next time you go out and upload back your tracks into OpenStreetMap.

Been quite busy in the last weeks…
I’ve finally submitted my Phd thesis (more on that in another post), and been quite busy preparing project proposals for FP7 Call 5.
But I still had time to register for this year Codebits 2009. This year it will be held in Cordoaria Nacional.
Hope to meet you there!

I would like to use this post to public congratulate the University of Aveiro Teams involved in last weeks “Festival Nacional de Robótica” held at IPCB.
After winning last years Robocup, CAMBADA just revalidated the national title (third championship on a row) for middle size robots. As for Autonomic Driving the DEM took the victory with ATLAS-2008 and ATLAS-MV in the first 2 places with a 4th place going to DETI’s ROTA.
These achievements are not random, and are a direct result of effort put into these projects by both students and professors, and of the quality of the education and research done in the University of Aveiro.

It’s true! I finally got my self a more private office space, thus leaving the lab.
Not that I wouldn’t miss the lab (in which I still spend some time), but it was about time I got my own space where I can concentrate myself and stop being bothered constantly by students and friends (you know who you are 
)
One of the best parts of the new office is that although I stayed in the ground floor, I now have a window/door to the outside! that means that I actually can work with natural light and can walk out side for some fresh air (at least in theory, since for the last weeks we only had rain…) and visits such as the duck family in the picture.

Este é um post em jeito de agradecimento ao Nucleo de Eng. Computadores e Telemática que este ano convidou vários professores, entre eles me incluo, para um dia de prática de paintball.
Foi um dia muito bem passado na companhia não só dos alunos como dos meus colegas João Paulo Barraca, André Zuquete e Artur Pereira, e de alguns membros do meu grupo de investigação.
Não tendo sido a primeira fiz que pratiquei PaintBall, foi sem duvida uma excelente experiencia.
