You are probably aware of the Google Code Search. It’s a very neat tool.
How hard is it to parse the 1000’s of valid emails appearing in the source code file ?
Do a code search for < .*@.*\..*>
Then use this shell script (Stupid wordpress do some funky escaping stuff with my html..)
Rinse and Repeat with page 2 of 4150000..
Dear readers,
If you happen to live in San Fransisco, I’d be thrilled if you could enlighten me about what are the great things to do there for 3 days. I can hire a car for one day or two if needed, but i have a student budget.
Even better, if you know places where I can sleep for cheap (still decent though), or you feel like hosting a poor gnome hacker for free, for 1 or more nights that would be really excellent !
If you’re a gnome hacker around the area and want to meet, that’s cool too ! I can use a guide 🙂
I will probably be there from 10th of October 2006 till 13th of October (that’s 3 nights)
You can contact me via the comments on this blog, or via mail: “raphael slinckx net” (hint: my domain name is slinckx.net)
Thanks A LOT !
PS. I still need to blog about my ongoing Stockholm, Sweden Erasmus exchange, stay tuned !

Sometimes Guadec is serious stuff:
Daniel Holbach is the hyp0r:
John and the Google yoyo:
Desperate attempt at a hackergotchizable picture (if someone could make a new hackergotchi for J5 out of this one, i’m sure he would be glad !):
Jeff always making gestures when a camera is pointed at him
Davyd enjoy *so* much the party
Under that angle, Bastien looks scary:
Daniel is in da hood:
Mine is bigger than yours:
This man is a terrorist:
Luis and Bastien, is everything ok ?
Mr. Love ?
Daf loves KDE:
Aaron’s so popular that he needs to autograph drunk people’s neck:
Going back home, through barcelona:
Luis, see you on the other side

And of course thanks to everyone who was involved in the organisation of this guadec, the volunteers, Quim. This was such a crazy week !
Next year: Birmingham, UK, in case you didn’t hear it.
This is a public announcement: I hold Johan Dahlin’s badge as an hostage until i get my badge back. I heard he’s the one responsible for this masquarade, so I now is time for revenge. Whoever has my badge can try to reach me in UPC’s hall or in the Telepathy talk 🙂
Note to Davyd: Where are you ? Are you hiding from me ?
All these posts about Guadec are boring, here is one more !
The travel went smoothly, with planes on time. I met bkor, arturo, alejandro, and a bunch of other people i can’t remember the name at Barcelona, took the train (packed with St. Joan-party people). Of course there were very few taxis at that time, so i couldn’t make it to the party, but some other people never found the party too. I guess the whole town was the party.. Or some kind of Beirut under fire with all those fireworks and people screaming and running around.
First day was relax, got up late, took a bike ride to the university under a shiny sun. Met a nice bunch of people there too, it’s really nice to put a face on the IRC nicks or hackergotchis (which are completely out-of-date for most people, including me)
The night ended up in a little bar with a TV, with all the gnome-hackers to see the end of the Argentina-Mexico match. I’ll try to take some pictures when i have the chance.
One last thing: All the cool people have a 770, i feel old-school and depressed. Donations accepted.
Just before the guadec kick-off Telepathy released a whole lot of cool stuff. Check it out.
You might also want to check the cohoba screenshots, i’m hoping to get it into good shape during this guadec along as “prettifying” it
Can you smell the Web 2.0 hype now ?
Guadec is starting soon, I’ll be landing at Barcelona at 21:05. For those interested, the ride in train to the GNOME village from the airport is described on this guadec page.
Sadly enough, there are no busses after 21:00 that go from the Vilanova Station to the GNOME Village (i don’t know the exact distance but it seems long to do by foot).
But there is still hope, and you can be part of it ! <crowd noise>
Quim Gil suggested the following. Since there is this Saint-John’s Night party (Fri, Jun 23 20:00 – Fri, Jun 23 23:00 according to the guadec schedule on google calendar) which takes place just 5 min away from the Vilanova train station, if I can find anyone who has a car, or some sort of transportation device with a trunk, there at the beach, to put my luggages while attending, i’d be saved !
Bonus point if a car can drive me back to the GNOME Village after the party.
Maybe this little arrangement can profit other people too, I see on the arrival times page that there are quite a lot of people arriving that night.
You can either contact me via the comments, the email (raphael slinckx net) or IRC (kikidonk).
Thanks !
Je viens de recevoir un courrier de notre gouvernement fédéral, faisant la promotion de “L’internet pour tous”.
Moyennant une somme de 850€ maximum, le peuple peut acheter un “pack” comprenant un ordinateur, un abonnement adsl pour an, des logiciels, un lecteur de carte d’identité électronique ainsi qu’une formation de base. De plus, 21% de cette somme est déductible fiscalement, soit une réduction d’environ 170€. J’applaudis !
Mais quelque chose me chipote, je ne vois aucune offre linux parmi les packs proposés, quid ?
Peut-être est-ce le règlement de l’opération qui prévoit que le pack doive contenir au moins un logiciel anti-spam, un logiciel anti-spyware, un logiciel anti-virus et un firewall personnel. Depuis quand avons nous des spywares sous linux (je pense pouvoir affirmer qu’il n’existe même aucun programme anti-spyware) ?
Et voila notre penguin favori disqualifié de la course..
Pensez-y:
Peut-être cette voiture est-elle illégale, car elle ne dispose pas d’une roue de secours ?
As Mikkel “Kamstrup” noted on his blog, bug hunting is all about attitude.
Here is mine:
Note how the photographer interrupted the bug-fixer, forcing him to simulate a smile.
Also note the reference manual in case the man pages are missing.
What’s your bug hunting attitude ?
Ploum writes about epiphany 2.14, and explain why it’s the best browser for gnome.
To make it short, here is a summary of the killer features in epiphany 2.14
…but he missed the deskbar integration, which i will fix now:
There is also a way to associate a keyboard shortcut to search engines, and/or a ‘keyword’ in deskbar preferences:
As you can see, i have the ‘g’ letter for google, which means i can type in deskbar g test to search in google the term ‘test’.
Even better, i can directly use the shortcut to open the term in google without even selecting it in the list: I type ‘test’, then hit Alt-g, and it fires up a google search (this of course only works when you have a one-letter keyword)
This is also a feature we want to extend for every possible action in future versions of deskbar.
Now, use epiphany, and be happy !
And finally a quick tip: if you want to open a command-line program and see it’s output, type it’s name and instead of selecting it in the list, hit Alt-t, it will start the program and redirect it’s output in a text window using zenity, useful for example to see if the command executes successfully.
