Hi, I’m Henrique! 👋
Born in Portugal 🇵🇹. I am a Master’s student 🎓 in Computer Science and Engineering at TU/e, in Eindhoven 🇳🇱. At the same time, I’ve been working part-time with Protocol Labs on the decentralization of the web 🌐.

I am really digging your blog!
Thank you!
Today I got my booster.

abesbílico - an informal Portuguese word meaning “astonished”. It’s uncommon to hear it but I love it.
Recently in December '21
Once again, a year is ending. It feels like it was yesterday that I was first discovering the IndieWeb and adding new features to my website, but that was 2 years ago now. Time has been passing quite fast since the pandemic started.
December was packed. I had many different presentations, deliverie…

Quando é que a CML faz algo em relação aos milhares de prédios abandonados em Lisboa (8% em 2013)? Tantos edifícios que dariam habitação a milhares de pessoas. Noutros países europeus coisas destas não se veriam tão frequentemente.
Merry Christmas (Eve) to everyone! I hope you enjoy the time with family or special others 🎄🎅
I’m so much going to lose all my sleep weekly streaks on Swarm when I go to Portugal 🤣
@hacdias The exemption seems to be fading… sad, but true.
No 😭
You know one good thing Covid brought? I don’t need to give two kisses (one in each cheek) every time I meet a Portuguese woman or a family member! When I was a kid and wouldn’t do it, my mom would immediately say “go give two little kisses, otherwise it looks bad”.

This should be fixed. If you use hacdias/indieauth, I recommend updating.

I went to the cinema today in over a year and it was a bit scary: no one was wearing masks inside 🤭 On the other hand, I can say that Lab 1 is a nice cinema.
