Aujourd’hui 15 otages des FARC ont été libérés par l’armée colombienne. Je me réjouis pour eux, et je suis complètement impressionné par la méthode employée. Au lieu de s’aplatir et d’échanger une otage contre un certain nombre de guerilleros, la Colombie a planifié une opération militaire et l’a parfaitement mise en oeuvre.

I recently experimented with ads on the blog. Ten days later, I’m now sure they’re not worth the inconvenience/uglyness. They brought me a grand total of $0.16, which means $0.016 per day, approximately €0.010. Bye ads :-)
Hard disks are fragile. I know it since a while, and I’m prepared: I have good, up to date backups made automatically every night or week, depending on the data’s importance. OK, I know it! but I’m getting tired of it: Saturday, smartd reports read errors on my server’s /dev/hdc. I order two IDE [...]

Bonjour à tous qui aimez bien Apple…
Je voulais juste vous dire un mot à propos de leur nouveau gadget,
l’iPhone, et des raisons pour lesquelles vous ne devriez pas en
acheter :-)
http://www.apple.com/fr/iphone/
L’iPhone est beau, il est classe, shiny, fashion, et tous les trucs
cools qui font que ça va être un best-seller comme l’iPod l’est… Mais
contrairement à l’iPod, [...]
Claws Mail’s Printing support is implemented, optionally, via libgnomeprint. Output looks rather good, but it has the drawback of requiring an extra library. It was still better than the old ‘lpr’ support :)
Anyway, we now had the possibility to remove this dependancy without removing the feature, as the GTK developers added a new API, GtkPrintOperation, [...]
Lose one hour thinking this RAID controller driver must be buggy because “mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1” errors out with “No such device“. After this hour, figure out from man 2 mount that ENODEV means “filesystemtype not configured in the kernel.” instead. Duh.
Accept the fact that some gigabit switches from an anonymous vendor that has a name [...]
Finally fed up with SF.net’s multiple downtimes and “hardware problems” that brought down anoncvs for a month, dev cvs for a week, and mailing-list lagging for multiples days without even an announcement… We moved CVS and mailing-lists to dotsrc.org.
The change went really smoothly, apart a little glitch, where I forgot to manually remove the subscribers [...]
Yesterday - or was it the day before… - I finally upgraded the server(s) running colino.net and a few other sites…

The old ones were nice and fun, being kind of rare Suns - an Ultra1 with a 170MHz CPU and a SparcStation 5 with a 110MHZ CPU. But they were also a pain, with their [...]
There is the mohawk
His way of walking
Quite high above the ground
Fearless of looking down
Skywalk
Some people say that
The navajo know
A way of walking
Quite high above the ground
Fearless of looking down
Oh no.
Who sings that ? Bonus song: on which album is it?
(do not cheat with Google)
Edit: You’re disappointing. It’s The Navajo Know by The Pixies (Trompe le [...]
