I’ve been working a lot these days to complete several big projects, and a handful of smaller ones. They’re all related to PHP and optimization. I’ve been thinking of a switch-based PHP preloading technique, which I’m trying to implement in a couple of projects. What I’m trying to do exactly is update my CMSs and [...]
Yet another social connector. Not sure if it will work, though. But sure as hell it will get patched. Microsoft Outlook 2010. “The Outlook Social Connector is a set of new features to help keep track of your friends and colleagues while enabling you to grow your professional network. The Outlook Social Connector is available [...]
I usually don’t write about games, not on Blog Tycoon, but this caught my attention as I’m working on a game myself. It’s not about the action, it’s about the atmosphere, skeleton movement, visual FX and overall impression.

The good ol’ days when I used Netscape Composer to code web sites and IE6 to test them. IE6 was quick, top of the line and… the only one. Netscape [...]
Haven’t read a book in a while, but I remember I have read lots of them when I was a child. And I enjoyed science fiction. Just like a regular boy. My favourite authors were Serge Brussolo (Broselot), N. Lee Wood, and others. I surely held some great books in my hands years ago. That’s [...]
I was looking for some inspiration the other days for some pixel art tycoon city, and bumped into these absolutely perfect pixel art drawings. Shared. Also, check out this cool Hong Kong pixel map. I also remembered the good ol’ days when I was programming Dawn, the RPG browser game. And this brings back more [...]
Blog Tycoon is going green. I am joining the green movement, against global warming and environment destruction. While some of you may be familiar with the following projects, here they are: The first one is a tragic short story, created by McCann Erickson for a Portuguese association called Quercus.
