You might not know this “Phenomenon” but electronic music seem to renew with popularity (mostly over the past 6 months) in France which is very good in fact from a cultural point of view (Frenchy touch) :-p

There are even some entries in Wikipedia !

Tecktonik being just one part of the whole thing, but they do have nice ideas like “battle dance”. See http://www.tck01.fr/

I consider this to be the continuity of what happened over the past years within the electro / house scene, meaning there is nothing brand new, except the way they danse :-), though I do like some of the tracks those guys produce now.

In may or june last year, I bought a new worstation because my old one was dead (motherboard).
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.

The first one: Beryl & VNC
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)

This is currently one of my favourite clip, don’t know exactly why
PS: May I have the sames at home ?

In another kind take a look at the following one

Etage Noir has released the video clip of Andy Korg’s debut single: I Want You.

Wahoo, during 3 weeks, so many things happen to me. Some very good, some other somewhat bad.
To start with, I spend some days in Vienna. I met Guhli, we talked about ourselves & walked down the streets. I was at JazzFest in Wiesen to listen to Parov Stellar, I met Sarah there who was really friendly. The day after, she invited me to a “private” party for a new magazine called Partisan a mag similar to “Going out” or “Out Soon” in Belgium.
When back in France, I was supposed to work but I took some times with a very good friend of mine, then I joined some other friends in Royan, just above Bordeaux. Now, we are two weeks after I left Lille, I needed some more days to think about my life & make some sport so I decided to go to Lacanau, a well-known city for surfers.

At the Vienna International airport :-p
As this access is unfiltered, you can do whatever you want like downloading MP3s just in front of a CD store !
I promise, I will buy the CD
Nota: f*ck stupid laws: DADVSI

[…]
She’s a Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
[…]
And when she walks she walks with passion
[…]
Never ever met her at all!
you wish you never ever met her at all!
[…]

I know, that’s easy … but I could not resist after this WE

In a previous post, I wrote some lines about Parov Stelar.
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 !
