Thanks Remi ;-).
So I am currently playing with an IBM Xseries 226: Xeon 2,8Ghz ; 1Go DDR2 ; SATA HDs ; PCIe GFX card etc…
My logitech webcam now works perfectly under FreeBSD thanks to the pwcbsd driver, I still got some issues with my fresh new gamepad (Logitech Cordless Rumbled Pad 2). I need to get this one working to finish my mythtv box. ]]>
VNC does not currently support accelerated GL rendering.
Some workarounds are though possible:
- use x11vnc with the -noxdamage switch
- take a look at virtualgl (at least since 2.0beta there is a MacOSX Intel client, nevertheless it is not part of the FreeBSD ports tree…)
The second one concerns multi-head systems:
Xinerama disables the RandR extension so Xinerama is unable to work with Beryl since it requires that extension.
Beryl (Emerald ?) is unable to manage the second head presents in my system, so I can start Xorg with 2 screens but the second one will be unusable.
As of today, you have got two options:
- at lest, dual-heading seems to work with nvidia TwinView (which offers better OpenGL performances)
- use one window manager per head (ie: run two instances of emerald)
He is back with a prodigious EP “Charleston Butterfly”.
Those three songs are amazing, put it in your CD player and you will start smilling
Thanks to Etage Noir I discovered Andy Kord in “I don’t care” & “I want you” rmx by Parov.
No dout, Andy is talented and his album sounds promising 
Therefore, I will be in Vienna the 21st-23rd of July for the JazzFest. Let’s have, again, some good time in Austria !
]]>I had submitted a proposal for FreeBSD untitled “Performance Tracking over Time” unfortunately the FreeBSD project only receive 14 slots from Google, this means that half of the proposals, including mine, were not accepted.
Indeed it seems that the Core Team had prefered to focus on enhancements by adding new features to the base system rather than bringing new tools which may help developers and improve code quality.
Anyway, I have decided to take the responsability of the initial project because I would really like to work on such concepts; adding that I have got Davis support.

I’d be happy to offer advice and feedback on this work if you choose to

But how can I sync it with my laptop (MacOSX iCal, Address Book & co) ?
Exporting my calendars in vCal does not help much, PocketCalendar only took the first item… the same goes for PocketContacts… (f*ck !!!)
Of course, ActiveSync 4.1 does not work with VPC7. Those days, I feel really out of luck.
In the first times, I was looking forward funambol which appears to do what I want & got some support for the software I used sync-evolution or sync-mozilla (only calendar…), nevertheless there are no real Unix client nor something usuable on MacOSX.
Maybee, the Windows Mobile client is able to sync against an Open-Xchange ? It’s all about syncML after all…
This proposal is false since Funambol uses its own file format.
At the moment, I found Plaxo to be fairly usefull.
It got a Mobile client thanks to WebIS (not opensource anyway…) and an official MacOSX port.
The sync is done over https & your datas are stored using a 128bits scheme encryption, is this safe enough ?
Not for me, I do not like my datas to be stored on a server I do not owned; especially when it goes to private information.
Moreover, one caveat exists anyway since it can only sync my contacts but not my agenda. I hope this feature to be added soon. ]]>
This is a great CD player; abviously it sounds better than my Denon 1920…
Better answer in mediums and bass, better stereo picture, more precis & with more details,etc… on every CD I have played (Sarah McLachlan, Hooverphonic accoustic, Rob Dougan, K’s Choice, Fiona Apple, Fisher, Muse… )
Well, you have understood, I want one ! but…around 700 euros (including the matching Qed Qunex 3 cables)
does the difference worth the money ?I should probably change my speakers first, upgrading from the B&W 600 series to the 700’s
]]>I want to share this great news with you
Naomi - Pappelallee
Tara King Th - Sequence 01
Gaelle -Transient (Track 3: “Give it back” is really impressive !) hijacked my mind so…
& of course Madita (Track 01 + )
group Tryo to participate to a concert in Lille.
Tryo is pro-ecologic through engaged lyrics, they have even made a videoclip based on greenpeace archives.
As some of you may know, I recently decided to become a greenpeace aktivist and
thus I have been to this concert, with two others Greenpeace members.
I made a small keynote of what happened during that evening.
You can find it here (sorry french only)
UPDATE: I finnaly got the videoclip of the track “L’hymne de nos campagnes” made by Eric Guerêt, you will find it here.
(I may violate some copyrights by redistributing this video but nor Tryo nor Greenpeace have published it yet so…). Nevermind, Tryo members are open-minded

]]>I just wrote a documentation which explains the way to use an usb-serial adapter on MacOSX (chip pl2303 from Prolific).
Even if they claim their driver to be Tiger compatible, the reality is somewhat different…

This city rocks, really. An amazing piece of “cosmo” people, coming from all over the world. A one month trip, many good memories and a *lot* of pics !
Hope I will go back soon.
Some pics took at MoMA are available too… ]]>
