  • Google Valid Email Search

    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…

  • San Francisco !

    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…

  • Guadec, Gnome is People

    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*…

  • Where the f** is my badge ?!

    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…

  • Guadec, or is it GUADEC?

    Guadec 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…

  • Guadec Foobar

    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…

  • Internet pour tous !

    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…

  • Bug Fixing Attitude

    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 ?

  • Epiphany is hype, get over it

    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 Easy RSS subscription, integration with gnome programs (liferea, blam, straw) “Tagged” Bookmarks management (very Web 2.0) Adblock extension working out of the box HIG and gnome…

  • Deskbar/Beagle screencast and call for volunteers

    Deskbar and beagle screencast Following up to my previous post, Bjørn Haagensen – a long time deskbar tester – has contributed a screencast of deskbar and beagle integration, this time in GIF (made with byzanz). Warning: the screencast is eating all my RAM, so i can’t view it. I guess i can blame gecko for…
