On July 30, I received my first Raspberry Pi, purchased at Element 14. After a one-month wait, it arrived in the mail, albeit late from Belgium – 9 pm. In reality, it arrived around lunchtime, but since I wasn’t home, the postman left it as regular mail.
The box is small, like a credit card. In fact, I found the computer amidst other letters.

Back-ups are always a good idea… this week I lost two HDs. One on the PC, I was able to recover all the data and transfer it to a remote server. The other, my Ubuntu, Tambaqui of war.
I arrived at work in the morning and saw that the computer was turned off. As the Tambaqui is also a small server, I usually leave it running. I plugged in the fish and the boot occurred normally (I always say that only what was previously working perfectly will give you problems :-), otherwise nobody would come up with that worn-out excuse: yesterday it was fine!). Looking at the files after booting, I saw that there were several files with strange names with ??? and !!!!… a sign of file system problems, but fsck swore everything was okay :-)

I became a professor by accident. In college, I was good at math and always taught someone… it eventually got more serious. I started teaching private math classes while still in the first grade… by the time I was 18, I was an instructor for programming courses. I think my first course was Clipper :-)
In 1994, I became a teacher of logic and programming techniques as well as programming languages I and II. Teacher of algorithms, Cobol and C. Since then, I have become seriously interested in education and impressed by how quickly people learn. I confess that teaching programming is not easy, learning either. With some practice, it gets better, but I never felt content… I continue to look for new ways to teach programming. In recent years, I taught Python. A language I like a lot and use every day.
