You know what they say... There's a first time for everything. So today, my friends, you will witness the first meme to ever set foot on these god forsaken corner of the web.
A couple of days ago I started seeing this Four Things meme on a couple of sites I subscribe, but I didn't think it would ever reach me, for these were big players in the webdev scene. Guess what, Steve Williams from CCCP tagged me, so I'll join the bandwagon and do it just for fun.
Four jobs I’ve had in my life
Mostly summer jobs.
- Freelancer in webdesign/webdev
- Factory Worker - "Production Controller"
- Same factory - Aseptic Filling Operator (later, sub-chief of dept.)
Four movies I can watch over and over
- Big Fish
- E.T.
- Braveheart
- Edward Scissorhands
Four places I have lived
- Azambuja, Portugal
- Casais dos Britos, Portugal
- Lisbon, Portugal
Four TV shows I love to watch
This one was hard. I'm a big consumer of TV shows, so it was hard narrowing it down to four. I'll restrict myself to currently showing, but if I didn't Firefly and Monty Python's Flying Circus would take the top spots.
- That 70's Show
- Lost
- Surface
- Scrubs
Four places I’ve been on vacation
- Algarve, Portugal
- Matalascañas, Spain
- London, England
- Edinburgh/Inverness, Scotland
Four of my favourite dishes
- Sushi (still discovering the fine art of Sushi)
- Dobrada à Transmontana (traditional dish, lots of beans and disgusting – to some – porc intestins)
- Torricado - local dish, which is a sliced grilled bread, scrubbed in garlic and drowned in olive oil. Sided by the expected codfish
- Anything my mom cooks. :D
Four websites I visit daily
- Netvibes
SearchFox damn. I have to look for another aggregator. - Planeta Asterisco - Don't like to read it through their feed.
- digg.com
Four places I’d rather be right now
- Edinburgh, Scotland
- Home
- California
- Swimming in a pool of my own cash
Four bloggers I’m tagging
- João Craveiro
- Hugo Silva
- Civ2boss
- Cláudio Franco

Some interesting answers there Andre, thanks for sharing - the pork intestines sounds dodgy, but I'd give it a try before writing it off :)

Well, it might sound dodgy, but if you run a search on Google Images, you'll find it also appears dodgy.
"dobrada" search results The first one seems pretty accurate. ;) Oh, brace yourself before you click. :)
Thanks for tagging me. ;) It's fun climbing up the meme stream. It appears the the main responsible of bringing this meme into the WebDev community was the one of tagged John Hicks. :)

As you can see, dobrada refers to cow stomach.
Nem sabes o que comes :D
