I just setup a page explaining what works under Gentoo GNU/Linux on the Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S7110 laptop. Please let comments here for questions, remarks or enhancements.

A perverse hacker friend of mine has written a clever yet scaring Windows utility. Each time a USB key is inserted into his computer, the whole content of the key is silently dumped and stored on the machine. It doesn’t copy the existing files; it makes an image of the key. After that, when the unsuspecting [...] The ICFP contest of this year starts with the implementation of a virtual machine. While I didn’t participate to the contest itself, I wrote one in Python and rewrote another one in Ada for performance reasons. Here is its code, released in the public domain. As a low-level software guy, I often have to work with electrical engineers to build custom hardware and software systems. I am constantly amazed by the tricks necessary to make the hardware part work and the experience needed to build reliable electrical components. I decided to apply the same techniques to my software. First of all, [...] Comme je l’avais expliqué dans Asterisk - build your own PBX, la prise téléphonique de ma Freebox était connectée à mon PC par une interface analogique de type FXO. Sur le PC, qui tourne sous GNU/Linux, l’autocommutateur libre Asterisk gère mes communications et mes services. Tout fonctionnait correctement, même si la reconnaissance du raccroché du [...] « Connecter son réseau d’entreprise à l’Internet », un livre publié par deux amis et moi-même en 1997, est maintenant disponible en ligne sous une licence libre Creative Commons. Une bonne partie du contenu est évidemment obsolète, mais d’autres sections peuvent être réutilisées. A bet. A stupid bet. I lost it. As a consequence, I have to endure one of the most difficult and unpleasant challenge that I can think of. I have to top-post for one whole month. Effective yesterday evening. I will try to answer my email and usenet posts without any context whenever possible. Please bear with [...] A few weeks ago, I noticed that some people were getting my RSS feed once every minute. The load on the WWW server was already high and I found a much cheaper solution on my side: redirect them to the RSScache service through an Apache redirection. This morning, I read that Daniel Glazman [had the same [...] I have explained that to many people separately, so I will publish the reasons why you should register your own domain name and point people to this page. I am always amazed to see people using email addresses such as john.doe@myisp.com. They tie themselves voluntarily to their ISP while they have a choice. I know of [...] When doing some heavy 3D rendering with Blender, I realized that one of my animation was going to take 53 hours to render. Existing distributed rendering systems such as DrQueue were fine but require that some software other than Blender or basic interpreters (such as Python or Perl) is installed on the contributing machines. So I [...] |
