<p>As I speak, paparazzi are getting crazy all over the world after hearing that Rupert (Mono&#8217;s mascot) has been making his debuts on an international music scene.</p>
<p>Indeed, Mr Rupert was seen in company of Mr Gnarly Snag (of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/smokinfezmonkeys">Smokin&#8217;Fez Monkey</a> band) and a fellow Monoïste, playing at <a href="http://www.fimu.com">FIMU</a> (International Student Music Festival).</p>

<p>Mr Rupert also liked Mr <a href="http://www.walkincane.com/">Austin Walkin&#8217;Cane</a> performance and sent his buddies to get some group picture :</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Almost ever since I was able to read, I was always found the nose in a book during my free time. Even though computer is filling most of that time these days, I continue to enjoy a lot immersing myself in the book worlds.</p>
<p>Very soon, the books that hold most of my attention were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy">fantasy</a> ones and more specifically of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fantasy">high fantasy</a> kind (a genre popularized by Tolkien and Lewis among others). It&#8217;s this passion that I want to share here.</p>
<p>I had this idea of a list floating around the corners of my mind, a list where I would put the books I most liked. The kind of book that leaves you stunned and dazed after you have finished the whole series in a row. Recently, a friend told me that this sort of list would be a good inspiration for him as he was looking into entering that wonderful world too.</p>
<p>So, here we go :</p>
<h3>My Pillars</h3>
<ul>
<li>Lord of the Ring &#8211; Tolkien</li>
<li>Narnia &#8211; CS Lewis</li>
<li>Royal Assassin &#8211; Robin Hobb</li>
<li>Raven Chronicles &#8211; James Barclay</li>
<li>The Wheel of Time &#8211; Robert Jordan</li>
<li>The Sword of Truth &#8211; Terry Goodking</li>
<li>Shannara &#8211; Terry Brooks</li>
</ul>
<h3>Other excellent series</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ages of the Fives &#8211; Trudi Cavanan</li>
<li>Black Magician &#8211; Trudi Cavanan</li>
<li>The Belgariad &#8211; David Eddings</li>
<li>Everworld &#8211; K. A. Applegate</li>
<li>Eragon &#8211; Christopher Paolini</li>
<li>Bartimeus Trilogy &#8211; Jonathan Stroud</li>
</ul>
<h3>Fantasy a little bit different</h3>
<ul>
<li>Tales of the Otori &#8211; Lian Hearn</li>
<li>The Wind of Fire &#8211; William Nicholson</li>
<li>Darren Shan &#8211; Darren Shan</li>
<li>Chronicles of Ancient Darkness &#8211; Michele Paver</li>
<li>The Reindeer People &#8211; Megan Lindholm</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, this list can&#8217;t possibly be exhaustive. Fantasy books are like Internet websites, after finishing one you still have another dozen that have appeared in the meantime.</p>
<p>Now, I hope this friend will feed me with his own list of science-fiction books <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon%27s_needle">Buffon&#8217;s needle</a> is a statistic experiment created by Comte George-Louis Leclerc (sounds so frenchie).</p>
<p>The principle is to drop needles on a parquet floor and check if the needle cross one of the parquet line (providing each parquet&#8217;s strip has the same height).</p>
<p>The experiment can be modeled as two random variables representing, for the first, the distance between the center of the needle and the closest parquet line, for the second, the acute angle between the needle and the line. Both random variables follow a uniform distribution, respectively of parameters (0, <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cfrac%7Blength%28needle%29%7D%7B2%7D%7D%20&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=1' alt='{\frac{length(needle)}{2}} ' title='{\frac{length(needle)}{2}} ' class='latex' /> ) and parameters (0, <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cfrac%7B%5Cpi%7D%7B2%7D%7D%20&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=1' alt='{\frac{\pi}{2}} ' title='{\frac{\pi}{2}} ' class='latex' /> ).</p>
<p>A needle cross a line when the angle is superior to 0 and, depending on the previous angle, the distance is less than :</p>
<p align="center"><img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7Bsin%28angle%29%5Ctimes%5Cfrac%7Bheight%28strip%29%7D%7B2%7D%7D%20&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='{sin(angle)\times\frac{height(strip)}{2}} ' title='{sin(angle)\times\frac{height(strip)}{2}} ' class='latex' /> </p>
<p>Thus, the condition &laquo;&nbsp;the needle cross the line&nbsp;&raquo; can be summarized by this equation :</p>
<p align="center"><img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7Bx%20%5Cleq%20%5Cfrac%7Bl%7D%7B2%7D%20%5Csin%20%28%5Ctheta%29%7D%20&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='{x \leq \frac{l}{2} \sin (\theta)} ' title='{x \leq \frac{l}{2} \sin (\theta)} ' class='latex' /></p>
<p>Where a is the length of the needle, &#952; the angle and x the distance.</p>
<p>The cool part is that computing the joint probability of the two random variable with the crossing condition gives you an expression of &#960; :</p>
<p align="center"><img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cpi%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B2aN%7D%7Bln%7D%7D%20&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='{\pi = \frac{2aN}{ln}} ' title='{\pi = \frac{2aN}{ln}} ' class='latex' /></p>
<p>Where N is the number of needle dropped, l the height of a strip and n the number of needle that crossed the line.</p>
<p>Therefore, for a good number of needle drop you can get a value fairly close to &#960;.</p>
<p>The following C# source code is doing precisely that :</p>
<pre class="brush: csharp;">
using System;

namespace BuffonApp
{
  class BuffonNeedles
  {
	public static void Main ()
	{
	  // Number of time we will drop a needle
	  const int N = 1000000;
	  // Interval between each line
	  const int a = 10;
	  // Size of a needle
	  const int l = a - 4;
	  // Our random number generator
	  Random r = new Random ();
	  // Number of time we cross the line
	  int n = 0;

	  for (int i = 0; i &lt; N; i++) {
		double x = r.NextDouble () * (a / 2);
		double theta = r.NextDouble () * (Math.PI / 2);
		if (x &lt;= (l / 2) * Math.Sin (theta))
		  n++;
	  }

	  Console.WriteLine (&quot;Pi approximation : &quot; + ((double)(N * 2 * l)) / (n * a));
	}
  }
}
</pre>
<p>Which give us a rather good approximate of : <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cpi%20%5Capprox%203%2C14208745948547%7D%20&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='{\pi \approx 3,14208745948547} ' title='{\pi \approx 3,14208745948547} ' class='latex' /></p>

<p>After 2 days of sparse sleep, beer events and running everywhere trying to see as much conferences as possible (when are we going to get cloning facility for that sort of thing ?) it was already time to pack all the bought goodies and take the train back to France.</p>
<p>Overall, as a first time, I must say FOSDEM was fantastic. Congrats to the organization people as I&#8217;m sure it must give headaches to run something of this scale.</p>
<p>Talks were all interesting and we got to socialize with really nice people. What a shame we were so tight on schedule that we had to leave before the end on Sunday (which mean we didn&#8217;t see Leslie GSoC talk, *snif*).</p>
<p>Funnily, when at first Manuel and I thought we were going to be the only ones of our school present at the event, in the end we : slept at a past student&#8217;s place, met a bunch more at the beer event and even found conferences given by UTBM folks (including one of our teacher). The world sure is small.</p>
<p>I also finally met super <a href="http://blog.worldofcoding.com/">Andreia</a> (Winforms fame) and super <a href="http://www.atoker.com/blog/">Alp</a> (Managed D-Bus fame, btw <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2009-February/010947.html">spread the hype</a>) though rather quickly unfortunately (a food/drink/hack session next time folks ?).</p>
<p>Since I&#8217;m probably one of the worst photographer ever, you can take a look at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mvonthron/sets/72157613649596384/">Manuel&#8217;s photo stream</a> for the usual pretty pixel set (Reflex aren&#8217;t only for showing off apparently <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ).</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>PS29 → Admis (C)<br />
MT26 → Admis (D)<br />
LO27 → Admis (A)<br />
TX20 → Admis (B)<br />
LJ00 → Refusé (FX)<br />
EI01 → Admis (D)</p>
<p>Troisième semestre à l&#8217;UTBM, dernière ligne droit avant la branche informatique de l&#8217;UTBM, plus ou moins les résultats auquel je m&#8217;attendait.</p>
<p>Une fois n&#8217;est pas coutume je vais me forcer à faire un descriptif de toute les UVs <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<h3>PS29 &#8211; Rigid body mechanics</h3>
<p>Je m&#8217;étais dit que j&#8217;arrêterai tout ce qui touchait de prêt ou de loin à de la mécanique après la claque qu&#8217;était TN21 le semestre dernier mais finalement, cursus anglophone oblige, je me lance pour une dernière UV de méca.</p>
<p>Au final, c&#8217;était plus de l&#8217;espèce de physique de terminale mélangé avec ce qu&#8217;on avait déjà fait en SI (liaisons, PFS, PFD, &#8230;) le tout avec par dessus une grosse couche de matrice, de torseur et plus généralement de tout ce qui est lourd et gras en mécanique. En gros, une fois qu&#8217;on a fait abstraction de la lourdeur de la méthode et de l&#8217;écriture on retrouve le bon vieux ma = ∑Fext .</p>
<p>La petite particularité était donc que l&#8217;UV était donné intégralement en anglais par Mr. Sauhet en lieu et place du prof habituel de PS25. Même si les matières qu&#8217;il enseigne ne me transcende pas vraiment, c&#8217;est un prof sympathique et il a un anglais cocasse (parce qu&#8217;il semble tiré d&#8217;une pièce de Shakespeare écrite en vieil anglais <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  ).</p>
<p>Résultat : C. C&#8217;est assez inattendu mais on ne va pas s&#8217;en plaindre <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<h3>MT26 &#8211; Suite / Séries / Fonctions de variable complexe</h3>
<p>Une UV de mathématique comme on les aime et pour une fois ce n&#8217;est pas ironique. De toutes les UVs de math que j&#8217;ai pu faire jusqu&#8217;à maintenant c&#8217;est la plus intéressante. Si on comprend bien le principe et la distinction entre les différents objets (suites/série, nombre/fonction) qu&#8217;on manipule alors on peut faire des choses très sexy. La fin sur les fonctions holomorphes et le théorème des résidus est moins intéressante mais par chance elle n&#8217;est au programme du final que l&#8217;année prochaine <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<p>Le projet consistait à coder en Mapple plusieurs algorithmes de calcul d&#8217;intégrale via des méthodes géométriques (rectangle, trapèze, polynôme de Lagrange). Rien de très transcendant mais on arrivera peut être à les faire passer sous Scilab ou Octave avec les gens de PS25.</p>
<p>Résultat : D. Je pensais avoir un peu plus compte-tenu que je l&#8217;avais bien bossé mais c&#8217;est déjà bien <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<h3>LO27 &#8211; Algorithmic and programming : level 2</h3>
<p>De l&#8217;informatique. No comment, que de la base mais en anglais. Le prof était bien (du peu que j&#8217;ai vu) et il travaille <a href="http://nico.gaud.free.fr/?page=research">sur des choses intéressantes</a>. En plus, comme il était en avance sur le cours de LO21 (LO27 mais en français), il a pu montrer des choses plus intéressantes comme des éléments sur la construction des compilateurs, les graphes et les algorithmes de recherche de chemin.</p>
<p>Résultat : A. Encore L022 et j&#8217;ai le grand chlem A des UV d&#8217;info de TC.</p>
<h3>TX20 &#8211; Travaux de laboratoire</h3>
<p>Même si on a jamais vu la tête d&#8217;un laboratoire. UV intéressante parce que c&#8217;est un projet personnel (depuis le choix du sujet jusqu&#8217;à les réalisation). Résultats : quelques hacknights à la caféine et au nanar chez Dise, génial quoi <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  . Je ferai le bilan avec plus de détail dans un autre post.</p>
<p>Résultat B. No comment.</p>
<h3>LJ00 &#8211; Japonais niveau 0</h3>
<p>UV d&#8217;initiation au Japonais. La prof est japonaise et, dans un sens, c&#8217;est peut être ça le problème parce qu&#8217;elle a l&#8217;air de penser que nous aussi nous sommes Japonais :-p . Concrètement c&#8217;est 3h ininterrompu de Japonais où on essaie plus ou moins de déduire le sens de ce qu&#8217;on nous raconte et de prendre des notes à l&#8217;arrache. Le final consiste à pisser 1000 caractères (argh) et à les apprendre par coeur pour les recracher sans feuille au final (argh²).</p>
<p>Globalement, c&#8217;est intéressant si le Japonais vous intéresse par contre je ne la conseille pas à ceux qui ont besoin d&#8217;une UV de langue easy.</p>
<p>Résultat : FX. Dommage, mais je suis content de l&#8217;avoir suivi (et au moins moi j&#8217;ai vu Biji-san <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' />  ).</p>
<h3>EI01 &#8211; International outlook</h3>
<p>Culture générale en anglais, prérequis pour le cursus anglophone également. Le principe c&#8217;est qu&#8217;on a plein d&#8217;intervenant qui vienne parler de sujet qui vont de l&#8217;économie à l&#8217;écologie en passant par l&#8217;Europe.</p>
<p>C&#8217;est dur de donner une moyenne à générale de l&#8217;UV vu la quantité d&#8217;intervenant différent. La qualité du cours dépend réellement de celle de l&#8217;intervenant qui, entre leur niveau d&#8217;anglais et l&#8217;intérêt de leur sujet, varie de très bien à carrément médiocre.</p>
<p>Résultat : D. Cool, je pensais pas l&#8217;avoir <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<h3>Mono</h3>
<p>Thanks to the change of school semester at my school, I&#8217;m going to have a break in February of almost 4 weeks during which we are supposed to participate to some activities chosen among a list.</p>
<p>The cool thing is that I managed to make &laquo;&nbsp;contributing to <a href="http://www.mono-project.com">Mono</a>&nbsp;&raquo; one of those activities. Thus, I will have 4 weeks to work on Mono and integrating <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mono-soc-2008/">SoC&#8217;s ParallelFx work</a> into the mainline tree with the blessing of my school. Yay <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   !</p>
<h3>FOSDEM</h3>
<p>There are also a bunch of other nice things I will be able to do this February. Going to <a href="http://www.fosdem.org">FOSDEM</a> is one of those (I took the train tickets this afternoon) which mean I can now wear the pretty badge too :</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.fosdem.org"><img src="http://www.fosdem.org/promo/going-to" alt="I'm going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting" /></a></p>
<p>Unless we have trains problems on the way, we should be there for the Fosdem&#8217;s <a href="http://fosdem.org/2009/beerevent">Beer Event</a> too, so if you want to discuss Mono, ParallelFx or whatever around an (excellent) Belgian beer be sure to come by <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<h3>Prologin</h3>
<p>Finally, I was qualified to go into the semi-finals of <a href="http://www.prologin.org">Prologin</a>, the French algorithmic contest for young people, this year again. It will be a good occasion to see old faces.</p>
<p>For the first time there are also proposing C# as a qualification language. Hopefully, it will mean no on-the-fly C++ learning for me this time <img src='http://blog.neteril.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Here is a tip if you use WordPress on hosted services (i.e. no access to source code) and your blog post aren&#8217;t appearing entirely on Planets.</p>
<p>When your post is finished, click on the <em>Preview</em> button. Highlight your article&#8217;s content, right-click on it and select <em>View selection source</em> (probably different if you use something else than Firefox). Then simply copy and paste the HTML code in the <em>Summary</em> text box which is under <em>Advanced options</em>, almost at the bottom of the page where you write/edit your article.</p>
<p>That way, you will force the <code>description</code> tag in the RSS file to contain your article. Indeed, some Planet aggregator extracts the text from this tag rather than from <code>content:encoded</code> which WordPress uses for storing post.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Life is pretty hectic these days with the start of a new school semester and the assorted things like seeing back friends, integrating the new students and resuming work in student clubs.</p>
<p>As a result the ParallelFx SVN log has been pretty silent (which worried some people). In fact code for MCas and STM is coming along nicely, though not ready for their prime, which is why I keep it in my local branches for the moment. Free hacking time should gradually returns as life settles back to normal.</p>
<p>Also, I&#8217;m going to update soon <a href="http://netherilshade.free.fr/mono/parallelfx/">the test packages</a> with the latest bits as part of providing code samples to Google.</p>
