Yesterday evening, at 21:21, Antonin realized staying inside his mother was no longer possible and decided to explore a new world, ours.
Everything went very well. Baby and mother are OK. Antonin’s sister is eagerly waiting for them to come back home and his father better hurry up assembling his wardrobe and bed (he was expected [...]

Pissed off. Deeply. Pissed off

(Sorry this is a rant)
I am in an amazing hotel 40 km near Barcelona right now. I arrived on tuesday evening to attend “All Hands”, a Canonical event just before UDS Karmic. The weather is really nice, the tracks are challenging and stimulating, and I get to meet coworkers coming from 26 different countries.
So why [...]

Two friends of mine recently started to experiment with iPhone development, and just published their first application: ILightPainter. It’s a light painting application, which makes it possible to create beautiful pictures such as this one:
This is not computer generated imagery: it was produced by moving an iPhone running ILightPainter in front of a standing still [...]
Advice on Linux friendly usb soundcard

I am preparing for an upcoming party, where I will be in charge of the music. I managed to borrow a amplifier and a set of loudspeakers, and decided I would mix the music with my laptop. While I would not call me a DJ, I played with DJ mixers in the past for other [...]
“Fix the TV, daddy!”

Yesterday when I came back home, Clara greeted me with “Daddy, can you bring your tools and fix the TV?”.
I stood a bit puzzled, until my wife explained Clara was watching a DVD when the DVD player decided to stop reading, probably unhappy with the state of the disc.
Just like Caleb believes his mommy can [...]

What do you get when you combine a 2 1/2 year old geek daughter, a N810 and Tux Paint?
That’s right, lots of doodling!
More seriously, the touch screen is much more adapted for a young kid like Clara than a mouse. I guess Clarisse would agree
Moved

In case you have been wondering why I was a bit silent these last weeks, it’s because we moved to a new house. Leaving Maisons-Alfort for a nice village named La Chapelle Rablais. It’s an important change in our life: going from a flat to a “real” house with a big garden!
Clara is delighted to [...]
Home server (and email) troubles

I have been a happy user of a Lex Neo fanless server for a few years until two weeks ago, when it froze. It produced a continuous beep when I tried to reboot it, symptom of memory problems. It accepted to boot on an old 64Mbyte stick, but would not start on anything bigger [...]

It feels good to get back to work, even if I didn’t have too much problem [...]
