Last Thursday, Lolut, a club which promote the free and open-source culture and of which I’m the (forced ) manager, organized an install party at school where we put the latest release of Ubuntu on the students machine. I must say that, as it’s my first action as a member of Lolut, I’m very happy [...]

The « announcement » can be read on Miguel’s blog : http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2007/Sep-05.html . Miguel had already given some hints about a big announcement on #mono yesterday but refused to tell more so here it is . On [...]
Hourraa !
Yay, I finally got the latest git version of the Avivo driver to run on my Dell Inspiron 6400 (Ati X1400 Mobility card). /me and my computer’s battery/fans are happy (because now I can really enjoy the advantage of the latest Linux’s tickless feature). PS : Just for the record, here is why avivo used [...]
Capharnaüm #4
(I think I’m starting to like these kind of post) Yay today I passed my last written exam for the Baccalauréat. Physics/Chemistry was terrific but I found Math easy (which is good because my final mark will depend mostly on this exam mark). Now it just let some practical and oral tests in the following [...]
Peeking at Qyoto
In my quest for the next UI toolkit I would use for Circ I recently decided to give Qyoto a shoot. Qyoto is the successor of Qt# in the sense that it provides a .NET wrapper around the famous Qt library (and KDE too but I didn’t used that part). It differs from Qt# in [...]
Capharnaüm #2
… Où on mélange les langues. I felt like testing new stuff today and my choice was Openbox ! I’m currently running it in my Gnome session and it’s bother quicker, more responsive than Metacity while keeping Gnome advantage (like native look of my Gnome application). Go on try it, it’s damn easy. Dell has [...]

The rumor was started today by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols on Desdesktoplinux.com that Dell was going to provide user with computers preloaded with the latest Ubuntu. As you may know Dell launched some times ago a website to let people express their ideas of what Dell could do in its business. By far the most popular [...]
Nouvelles fonctionnalités C#3.0 dans Mono !
Miguel de Icaza avait laissé sous-entendre que le projet Mono implémenterait C#3.0 dans le compilateur gmcs sans pour autant préciser de date. Hé bien ces derniers jours plusieurs fonctionnalités propre à C#3.0 ont atterri dans le SVN. Il s’agit des lambda fonctions (tout droit venus des langages fonctionnels), des méthodes d’extension (pour étendre un type [...]
Passage sous Feisty
Comme j’en avait marre d’utiliser les paquets de Meebey juste pour avoir un Mono fonctionnelle et que de toute façon je m’étais décrété à moi même qu’en ce jour de dernière épreuve du bac blanc j’avais mérité mon après-midi power glandouille j’ai décidé de tenter l’aventure. Avant tout et première précaution d’usage : SAUVEGARDER. Personnellement [...]
