Making a quick pit stop to mark this milestone in my professional career: today is my 3-year anniversary at Red Hat! Time has certainly flown by and I really cannot believe that it has been three years since I joined this company. I know it is sort ... [More] of cliche to say “I can not believe that it has been this long…” and so on and so forth, but it is so true. Back then I joined a relatively new project with very high ambitions, and the first few months had me swimming way out in the deepest part of the pool, trying to learn all ‘Red Hat-things’ and Clojure for the existing automation framework (now we are fully using Python). I did a lot of swimming for sure, and through the next months, through many long days and weekends and hard work, tears and sweat (you know, your typical life for a Quality Engineer worth his/her salt), I succeeded in adding and wearing many types of hats, going from a Senior Quality Engineer, to a Supervisor of the team, to eventually becoming the Manager for a couple of teams, spread over 4 different countries. Am I bragging? Maaaybe a little bit :) but my point is really to highlight a major key factor that made this rapid ascension path possible: Red Hat’s work philosophy and culture of rewarding those who work hard and truly embrace the company! Sure, I worked really hard, but I have worked just as hard before in previous places and gotten nowhere really fast! Being recognized and rewarded for your hard work is something new to me, and I owe a great debt of gratitude to those who took the time to acknowledge my efforts and allowed me room to grow within this company! The best part of being a Red Hatter for 3 years? Being surrounded by an enormous pool of talented, exciting people who not only enjoy what they do, but are always willing to teach you something new, and/or to drop what they’re working on to lend you a helping hand! There is not a single day that I don’t learn something new, and thankfully I don’t see any sign of this trend stopping :) Have I mentioned that I love my teammates too? What a great bunch of guys!!! Getting up early in the morning and walking to my home office (yeah, they let me work remotely too) day in, day out, is never a drag because I just know that there are new things to learn and new adventures and ‘achievements to unlock’ right around the corner. I am Red Hat!!! [Less]

Maybe you are using google-chrome-stable in Foresight-c7. Then you might be using the contrib repository. To get the latest, you need to change the repository to grab it from foresighters instead.   I have ...

For my last post of 2014 I wanted to show, with pictures, the books I read and spent so much time with this year. Back in January of 2014 I set out to read 30 books as part of my Reading Challenge. I wanted to focus on reading Brazilian authors ... [More] early on as I felt that I really needed to learn more about Brazilian literature and this time, read books for fun and not because I was told to back when I was much younger. I took advantage that UNC has a vast books collection with a very decent section on Brazilian authors and I was able to read some really awesome books by Erico Verissimo, Joaquim Manuel de Macedo, José de Alencar, Jorge Amado and Machado de Assis! I also fell in love with these authors and the fact that it took me a couple of decades to truly appreciate them doesn’t bother me at all, since I believe that it took me this long to reach the right maturity level… in other words, I was not ready for them yet until this year. I also fell in love with John Steinbeck and Ray Bradbury, and I think that Grapes of Wrath and Dandelion Wine are two of the best books I have ever read! Lastly, 2014 was also the year I started reading short stories (to sample different authors and see what they ‘have to offer’), and I highly recommend the short stories of Flannery O’Connor, John Cheever, Simon Rich, and Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez. In 2015 I plan to continue reading more Brazilian authors and exploring different authors and genres! I may even re-read The Lord of the Rings again. :) [Less]
