I'd say it's done, but I belive teacher doesn't that simple. Well, at least, it's functional and playable with some help on commands. It's still needing a more user friendly interface.

AuraRO
I've installed kRO and Sakrai, then a patch to my friend's server, AuraRO (Aura is one of my best friends). It's a very nice private server and guess what.. Aura made me a GM!! I have super-powers now!! XD Aura rocks! I've not learned or re-learned all things cause it's too much for a almost-newbie-again RO player. I'll try to get tips along the time.

Welcoming novices
I've changed my next week driving classes time. They're now on 20~22 in the afternoon and 24 in the evening. Then, I've gone to IME! Almost all the gang was there, Breno, Fernando, Jonas, Lucas, Pedro, Renato and so on. The party was going with lots of hairless novices (the ones who just arrives, we cut it =), people playing and talking everywhere and also there were some earning money selling circular ticket (circular is the free bus which runs along all USP campus). By the way, Marreco was there!! He's on Mathematics. That was fun! Lol. At FEA, the joke was nastier than IME, with eggs, people rolling on floor and some with their underwear destroyed. Madruga was there and when we arrived, Shura was the novice of the moment! He was just getting hit with an egg over his head. At Poli, Anderson has more details.

Driving school
I did medical and psycho-technical exams and delivered to the driving school today. I've chosen to do it in the morning, but I think I'm going to have trouble about it because theoric classes are going to start on the next 16 and will long until 24. Although, my classes are going to start on 20 so, there will be 4 classes in conflict (days 21~24). I'm going to ask for alternative classes on Monday.

Dark Shoyu? Wth?!
I've created this as a needing to have a name for this blog. First came Shoyu. Why? When I created a new character at Fly For Fun, I've decided to name it other than Tsuiya or Valgaav from my bRO account. It had to start with 'Sho'.. Maybe just Sho, but this name has already taken. Some few minutes has passed and then the light! "Shoyu!!! This is cool!!", I thought. -Lol-. Then, Sato-kun and Shoyu was okay for me. =) Concerning the Dark, no.. I'm no in the dark or I haven't pay energy bills. I've started to like this Dark thing since some years ago, when I knew Dark Misao Chan. At a history class, I've remembered abour this when the subject was Joan D'Ark! XD But it also have a personal link to it. As I don't use to express myself that easily, my mind sometimes seems to be a black box. My mind is very confusing, actually, somewhat like walking a dark room. Linking all this, Dark Shoyu has born. And I really liked it =)
(cultural note: Shoyu is a japanese for Soy Sauce. It's a black and salty liquid used on lots of japanese cousines. There are several kinds of shoyu you can find, depending on ingredients or methods used. They differ my moving from a region t another in Japan. Koikuchi from Kanto is the most produced kind of shoyu in Japan. Other samples are Usukuchi (from Kansai, saltier and lightier in color), Tamari (from Chubu, darkier and richer in flavor. Considered "original" japanese soy sauce) and so on.)
Language
It's been a long time I've stopped english course and haven't resumed it due to some reasons, mainly lack of time. Aurianna have already detected tons of mistakes on our talking and have already helped me alot with some grammar and vocabulary. But I want and need to learn more, but I don't know if a usual course would suit on me anymore.. I have my own rithm of learning. Besides that, my memory usually use to betray me a lot of times.. so, I have to practice. And this is, finally, the point of the answer. I don't know how good is writing for training english, but as it requires a lot of components from english grammar, I think I should give it a try.. And as sometimes I'm going to need a word I don't know when I need to express something, this would increase and be reference for more vocabulary. I'm thinking on posting texts in english every Saturday to keep some discipline on training. Concerning languages, I'd like to learn japanese, but it's hell hard to learn by myself!! I've tried several times before, but it have never kept going on.. I'm thinking on use this blog to learn it too, using the same way as english, but nothing concrete (needing more sources to support it..).
To post using e-mail is quite simple! Go to Settings>Email and there you will find a "Mail-to-Blogger Address" section. Name the second part of a e-mail address, select "Publish" (This make Blogger automatically publish posts sent this way ;) and then "Save Settings". This e-mail address you've just configured is the one you have to send to to posting. It's recommended to not share it, since every e-mail sent to that address will be considered a post even if the sender is not you. That's it! You can find an official documentation about this here.
ps: this mail-posting has a limitation of converting special character into a html special coding.. this mean that if you type <p>, it will show as you're reading here and will not take the html coding effect. Conseqüently, sometimes you won't have enough resources you'd like to have.

Confusões no supermercado
I was talking with Mutsumi and then we, I don't know how, started to talk about fanfiction.. well, as I have to wake up early tomorrow, I asked her to send me the url for reading tomorrow, once it's already late..
Gnome-blog
This morning I officially accepted Dark Shoyu as a virtual identity. So that I've create an e-mail account and changed my display and blog's title name.
Fooling around at Blogger home, I've noticed a third-party apps link at developers section. There are three linux apps there, all based on GNOME/GTK (that has stole my attention since last year), I' ve chosen Gnome-Blog due to its simplicity. It haven't worked although.. =/
Meeting took place and two programmers from Disoft, Leonardo and another yet unknown one, will do their work on EF from next Monday on. Concerning me and Alexandre (the other scholarship holder), we both will supervise with JUnit. JUnit is a framework for automated class testings on Java language. It doesn't seem to be very complex and learning it will be my goal for this weekend.

Here is a newcomer to the Dark side
I have recently discovered a Gaim plugin to publish post on Blogger as simple as talking with someone. This made me wish to blog stuffs, but I couldn't install it because installer didn't find a header file.. Maybe I am looking for a similar feature in the future, it would be a big help.
Tomorrow there will have a meeting with Escola do Futuro and Disoft.
Update: The header file is called cairo.h. I haven't looked for futher information about the file due to the old version available. The last one is dated from 2004..!
