Installing Wikicalc: the most beautiful OpenSource spreadsheets

As I indicated in my last post: WikiCalc is a collaborative spreadsheet operating on the principle of wiki. It is completely written in Perl. To install Wikicalc, nothing more simple, just start by installing the necessary tools for your good old Debian:

apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-perl2

Then download sources: wikicalc-1-0.tar.gz. Then can begin the installation process itself:

cd /var/www
tar xvzf wikicalc-1-0.tar.gz
ln -s wikicalc-1-0 wikicalc

Now you have to let the Wikicalc engine to be accessible from your Web server: compared to the configuration by default, you just need to add these few lines :



NameVirtualHost * 
 
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost 

DocumentRoot /var/www/wikicalc/ 
 
Options FollowSymLinks 
AllowOverride None 
 
 
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI 
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl 
AllowOverride None 
Order allow,deny 
allow from all

Load Perl module:

a2enmod perl
restart /etc/init.d/apache2

To finish the installation, go to http://wikicalc.monsite.com/wikicalccgi.pl and follow the instructions ....

Now you can play with this imressive spreedsheat

Simataï : the best part of the great wall

Simataï is probably the best part of the great wall, it is a bit farer than the other part of the great wall, nevertheless it is probably the more typical part of this monument. You will need good shoes to go there and a good health. Be careful there are some bees in the wall and if you are lucky you might be see some bats.

Ratatouille : a great great movie

It has been a long time since, since I laughed because of a great comic movie… Ratatouille is a little rat, who wand to become a great chief in Paris. When you watch this movie, you become hungry and this movie is very well realized, there is a good timing and rhythm. The drawings of Paris are marvelous. It is worth seeing this movie, even if you are no more a child.

Simataï: marvellous the chinese Great Wall

After two weeks of holidays in China, some pics of the Great Wall: the part of Simataï. This part is worth be seeing, it has only very few tourists there, it was not rebuilt yet and thus kept any sound charms… Moreover there is low almost no salesman on the run. To make or see absolutly if you pass near it. It is necessary to be in good physical condition to be able to go up in Simataï and especially a good pair of walking shoe…

My week Harry Potter: The Deathly Hollows and the movie

I was in the FNAC (a big french store for books, disks, computers...), and I did not resist to buy the last Harry Potter : “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows”. The intrigue puts a little time to set up itself, but one is glad finally to know the fate of Harry Potter. Poor Albus sees its will have put a little at evil but the final he will be rehabilitated… As a conclusion, it is not great literature (good it is true it is written in English…) but that slackens… On the other hand I went to see the same week : “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”

there too the intrigue puts much time to set up itself… certain elements overlooked and others are presented in an unmethodical way! I am fan of the 4 first opus, where the dream and fairyhood are omnipresent… I know the last Harry Potter want to be much darker as Voldemort seizes the power… But that does not want to say that the film must all sacrifice to the darkness. In conclusion, I was very disappointed! A good film: to see in DVD not more

Enough of Google: test Exalead

If you are fed up of the oneself-saying supremacy of Google as "search engine" on Internet, I propose you to test a new search engine, of the new generation: Exalead

this search engine was or is still implied in the European search engine Quaero, if this last is born or not…. The strong points of Exalead are thumbnail previews of the sites

I like also the possibility of making research directly in Wikipédia, the search engine for films is very good and the zapette is a brilliant idea: try it absolutely

moreover Exalead allows you to carry out research with regular expressions, the famous RegEx: the experts will appreciate. To finish and like quality guarantees: COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO, this search engine is French and was founded by François Bourdoncle: a pure product of the best French schools (Polytechnique and Mines)

A little walk in Brussels

A small walk in Brussels with some Comic strips on walls. Good walk but be careful to not knock your head against a wall… Who knows what it could happen
