Web Summit 2018 Lisbon

From 5 to 8 November 2018, Lisbon, Portugal, will be hosting Web Summit for the 3rd time. It's just the largest tech conference in the world. Web Summit is hosting 23 independent conferences under one roof

I went to Web Summit 2017 (me plus 59 114 people), and I can say that I loved every piece of it. For the conferences, for the invited speakers, for the news about innovation...

Feeling lost about Web Summit? I'll give you some hints...

1. Where is my ticket?
Your ticket is at the Web Summit app. Please enter your code in the app, that code that was given to you when you bought the ticket. In the Pre-Registration venue, please show your QR Code app with your government issued photo ID. A bracelet will be given to you - this bracelet is the ticket that lets you enter the Web Summit campus, so do not remove it!!

2. Where can I Pre-Register?
You can beat that long queues at the main entrance of the event for the Registration, before Web Summit begins. Just do the Pre-Registration in the Lisbon Airport (Terminal 1) at the following days/times:

Airport registration times:
Saturday – November 3 – 10am to 11:00pm
Sunday – November 4 – 7am to 11:00pm

3. Plan the conferences schedule
Just plan ahead what you pretend to see in the Web Summit. There will be multiple conferences at the same time, so you must choose which one you will see, or you will be feeling lost. Check for the schedule in the app and mark there which conferences most interests you, or online in the Web Summit Schedule page.

For the Opening Night, on the 5th November, it will be needed a special registration to attend it in the Center Stage. Just look out forward for the news about it.

Top websites to earn Steem coins

Cryptocurrency is a trend in nowadays and there are platforms that allow you to create contents and earn Steem, a digital cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, based on the blockchain technology.

Here are some websites where you can earn free Steem:

Steemit.com and Busy.org are both blogging and decentralized social network media platforms, based on the blockchain technology. These two are comparable to trains, that ride the same railroad (the steem blockchain). Steemit is the first, the old train, while Busy is the new fast train. Basically, the difference is the interface and some features, like the "wallet" that has more info in Busy than in Steemit, the post Editor that allows to create nice posts in Busy, Steemit has a night mode... The content that you create on Steemit also appears in Busy and vice-versa. Here you can earn by creating contents (blog posting), and upvoting other blog posts (aka curation). Just like Facebook or Reddit, but paid to you.
Then there are some bots for allowing your posts to be upvoted, in trade of a small donation, like the @minnowbooster.
The @originalworks bot can be called from any comment, for the declaration of original work and earn some upvotes. This one is free.

SteemAuto is an automated platform for scheduling posts, automated wallet claimings rewards and automated vote for your favorite author.


SteemitChat is a dedicated steemit chat.

Zappl claims to be the "Twitter of Steemit"

Steepshot is the blockchain-powered censorship-resistant app that you can use to share cool pictures with your friends, curate and comment their photos and get crypto rewards for your activity.

Steemit Worldmap finds and shares blog posts with others from all over the world. To add your post to this map, add the following to the post (replace the coordinates):
[//]:# (!steemitworldmap 3.903346 lat 73.357944 long  d3scr)

Steemspot allows you to discover other steemians around the world

Dmania is the decentralized 9GAG for Steem. Make money by posting, commenting and upvoting their favourite memes, funny pictures and videos.

DecentMemes allows you to create memes and post it directly to steem platform.

Dtube is the decentralized Youtube for Steem. Here you earn by share, upvote and posting videos.

Utopian.io is the platform where open source contributions are getting paid, also using the steem blockchain technology

Dlive.io well, the name says it all... for watching/publishing live streems integrated with steem  platform.

DSound allows you to upload, listen and discover music stored on top of the IPFS Network. It uses STEEM blockchain as a decentralized database, so you can earn Steem from it, by upvoting or posting or reposting contents.

Solving "JPA Project Change Event Handler (waiting)" annoying message from Eclipse

I'm using Eclipse Oxygen IDE and I'm always getting this annoying message "JPA Project Change Event Handler (waiting)" after saving a file, but I'm not using JPA in my project.

I tried to turn off the JPA validators under Preferences, with no success and the message kept appearing. Now I've found out that the guilty for the message appearing is the Dali/JPT plugin.
Since I do not need this plugin, I uninstalled it from the "Preferences" > "Install/Update"> then click again in the "Uninstall or update" link under that tab and finally I've selected, from the "Installed Software", the "Dali Java Persistence Tools - JPA Support" entry. Then I uninstallled it.

Problem solved!
