Heya readers, So I decided to start blogging more seriously. This blog is most likely gonna be about my life and computing in general. As for the title of the blog, it is actually from a song in Portuguese, “Vamos todos / numa linda passarela / de uma aquarela / que um dia enfim / descolorirá” which means “We are crossing / a beautiful footbridge / painted in watercolour / which will fade someday after all.
