María and Manolo are two characters I created on Snapchat during a trip my girlfriend —Ana— and I did around Europe. I’m use to call her María whenever she quickly gets out of patience. Even before this trip, I used to say that María was her alter-ego, an old Portuguese concierge with lack of patience. During… Continue reading
Facebook Auth using Chrome on iOS, problem solved! #NOT
Wow! I can’t believe that —after so so so many years— Chrome on iOS (or Facebook) finally decided to fix this APP login issue they had when trying to prompt an user with a JS Auth 👏👏👏.

Today this was the case, and this is the result I recorded with my iPhone right before the… Continue reading
Beware while selling your stuff online
Often we found ourselves willing to get rid of some old stuff, either because we no longer use them or because we have an upgraded version of the same product. Whichever is the case, many of us don’t just want to give our things away since they costed us money, leaving us with the decision… Continue reading

Just found this recording I made on my iPhone while playing the guitar and singing ‘La Flaca’ by ‘Andrés Calamaro’. I don’t remember when was it recorded but I’m pretty sure it was some years ago!
