I always knew I had the best of everything.

Heading to the parliament
Par Benjamin Drieu le mardi 20 décembre 2005, 10:00
As Christian said in a very nice summary of the issue, this is the day the DADVSI law (which is a transposition of the EUCD, the European DMCA) will be examined by French parliament.

CVS rulez (Score:-1, Flamebait)
Par Benjamin Drieu le mercredi 14 décembre 2005, 10:00
As it seems people are arguing about the revision systems hype, I just wanted to point that CVS rulez. Sure, it does not $some_obscure_witty_feature but, hey, is this feature really useful?

Pick of the day, ccache
Par Benjamin Drieu le jeudi 24 novembre 2005, 10:00
I recently tried and adopted ccache, which (quoting its webpage) acts as a caching pre-processor to C/C++ compilers, using the -E compiler switch and a hash to detect when a compilation can be satisfied from cache. This often results in a 5 to 10 times speedup in common compilations.

I hate the Internet
Par Benjamin Drieu le jeudi 13 octobre 2005, 10:00
So, as I'm a follower, I gave a try to the "you need" meme and found at the second place that benj needs to fix this. Ahah, funny, this poor benj has a bug to fix. Oh, wait, this reminds me something.

On the use and abuse of logrotate to rotate spams
Par Benjamin Drieu le mardi 27 septembre 2005, 10:00
As for everybody, spam eventually became a major nuisance from quite a long time now. As my main email address is the same since 1996 and as it is apparent on the web, my daily spam volume is hundreds of spams (if not thousands). This makes too much junk to download in the morning when I start my computer and then to process via anti-spam filters. This is why I set up a basic filtering on my mail gateway and archive almost-certainly-spam in my $HOME there for further investigation in case ham is lost.

Naming machines
Par Benjamin Drieu le lundi 19 septembre 2005, 10:00
As I stumbled on my client's server, I could notice it was named after Mercury, and that there was a Hermes, a Vulcan and other mythology gods nearby. Besides that it is the quadrillionth time I log on a server named "mercury", I kept wonder how many naming schemes I met during my various business trips. So far, after ten year of consulting, I can count:

ipv6 and the dancing turtle

This is indeed the best incentive I've ever seen to migrate to ipv6 !

phpldapadmin patch commited!
Par Benjamin Drieu le mercredi 16 février 2005, 10:00
As I wrote some times ago in my weblog, I had the opportunity to work on {@phpldapadmin} for a customer. As part of the project is not specific, my customer (the {@INHA}) decided that we would contribute back to the community and send all improvements to upstream. Needless to say, both {@Alcôve} (my employer) and I were quite happy with that.

Buy some donuts to your fellow Debian Developers.

When you have no brain, you gotta have legs
Par Benjamin Drieu le mercredi 19 janvier 2005, 10:00
Imagine you are working on a project and that there is a strike in public transportation today. Now, imagine you are the only one at the office to have the keys to unlock the room where our firewall is and that you left your keys at home. One would think that chances that the company firewall would crash just today are small. Just f... WRONG!

Hacking emacs config
Par Benjamin Drieu le lundi 10 janvier 2005, 10:00
Today I tried to subscribe to some weblogs that only provide Atom feeds. Unfortunate, because to my knowledge Gnus/Emacs, which my favourite news aggregator (and mail reader, irc/ftp client, login shell, ...) only supports RSS through its nnrss extension.

As I've been a good boy this year, Santa came and dropped an A6 Wacom Volito into my slippers. Needless to say, I'm delighted. :-)

Happy GNU year!
Par Benjamin Drieu le samedi 1 janvier 2005, 10:00
Happy new year to everyone celebrating. I hope 2005 will be better than 2004, which was quite horrible from a personal view. Thought, celebrating was great. It is nice seeing that friends you care about are enjoying life and having a good time!
