Wasab emulsion

2010-05-16T14:29:00.000Z

We tasted this preparation in a very good restaurant ... By guessing the ingredients that could be present ... we managed to recreate a recipe for wasabi emulsion well nice and very easy to make :-)

Here is the recipe:

List of ingredients:

1 tsp wasabi (in a tube and not powder)
1 tbsp soy sauce
juice of half a lemon
200 ml of cream

Preparation:

Mix the wasabi in soy sauce. Add lemon juice, whipping cream and beat all until a stiff emulsion.

Suggestion:

You can serve as an appetizer with bread sticks, as an accompaniment to salmon sashimi.

Enjoy!

Gource and Dokuwiki : the video

2010-05-16T14:20:00.001Z

The video :

obtain with the followinf command line :

gource --log-format custom dokusort.log --stop-position 1.0 --stop-on-idle --file-idle-time 10000000 --output-ppm-stream - | ffmpeg -y -b 3000K -r 60 -f image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -vcodec mpeg4 gource.mp4

It takes a little time but the result is wonderful

Gource and Dokuwiki

2010-05-16T14:01:00.002Z

Like everyone, I am fond of the wonderful videos made with Gource. The goal of this tool is to make a representation of the changes made on a version control system like git or SVN. But my favorite wiki ( DokuWiki ) is a version control system tool... Have a look to the folder tree to find the directory "dokuwiki/data/meta" in which the files "*. changes" contain exactly the information sought. For example, the file "systemes_visualisation.changes" looks like:

1263135717 ::1 C informatique:systemes_visualisation Wolverine créée 1263135717:: 1 C computer: Wolverine created systemes_visualisation
1263135988 ::1 E informatique:systemes_visualisation Wolverine 1263135988:: 1 E it: Wolverine systemes_visualisation
1263136423 ::1 E informatique:systemes_visualisation Wolverine 1263136423:: E a computer: Wolverine systemes_visualisation

Explanation :

the first column is a Unix Timestamp ,
the second is the IP address (I'm working on localhost ;-))
the third is the action performed (C created, E edited ,...)
the fourth is straightforward,
the fifth is the ID of the person who modified the page
and the last column is the smallest text you can perform when you edit a page ...

Now just turn this tree into a log file readable by Gource . To do this, I developed a small python script named gourcedoku.py:

#!/bin/python

To start it, nothing more simple, launch the script in yout dokuwiki directory :

then view the result with Gource with the following command:

gource --log-format custom dokusort.log --stop-position 1.0 --stop-on-idle --file-idle-time 10000000

I will try to put this code on the site Gource site ;-) Feel free to ask me questions or to improve my script.

This would be like the AdBlock Plus extension for Chrome ;-) see even a little more than just filter the ads on Chrome ... Je me suis dit que c'est pas mal mais pas très automatique ;-) j'ai donc écrit un petit script pour cela : I told myself that it's not bad but not very automatic ;-) so I wrote a little script for that:

How to import Mac OS X's icons in Visio

2009-12-13T16:31:00.005Z

You certainly know the program Visio (Microsoft Office) that allows to make beautiful diagrams ... the only small snag, Visio's icons are particularly ugly... Therefore let me show you two techniques to import the beautiful Snow Leopard icons in your Visio.

Method: by hand

Select the application whose you want import the icon (with the famous Apple + C), then open the Preview application and choose "New from clipboard"

you will just have to save it as and choose the PNG format. You can now import your image into Visio.

Second method: using a script

The previous method let you to extract only an icon at a time, if you want to retrieve all the icons of Mac OS X, you can use the following python script:

/bin/python

import os
import re

text = "0000"
out = "~/Pictures/"

stdout_handle = os.popen ( "find / -name *. icns", "r")
while (text !=""):
stdout_handle.readline text = ()
regnamefile = re.compile ( '\/([^//]*)\. icns')
namefile = regnamefile.findall (text) [0]
Reglin = re.compile ( '(\/ .*\. icns)')
line = regline.findall (text) [0]
os.system ( "sips-s format png"+line+"-out"+out+namefile+".png")

Beware the indentation : it is the python ... ;-) The script first look for all icns file (the format of the icons of Mac OS X ;-) ;-)), then apply a transformation using the application sips available on Mac OS X. All files in PNG format will be created in your pictures folder ...

That ;-) I hope you will make beautiful patterns after that.

Installing Wikicalc: the most beautiful OpenSource spreadsheets

2008-06-08T09:17:00.002Z

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

2008-01-02T20:15:00.000Z

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.

A good hotel in Beijing

2007-08-29T16:55:00.000Z

I went in China this summer and I spent one week in the Beijing King's Joy Hotel, whose address is : No. 81, Meishi Street, Xuanwu District, Beijing

this hotel is not very far from the Tienanmen place, is very cheap (40$) and there is a very good restaurant in the hutong near the hotel. Hope it can help you...

Ratatouille : a great great movie

2007-08-23T07:11:00.000Z

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

2007-08-23T07:05:00.000Z

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

2007-08-23T06:58:00.000Z

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

2007-08-23T06:53:00.000Z

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)

La Butte aux Cailles and its restaurant: "Les Cailloux"

2007-05-15T06:21:00.000Z

If you walk one day on the side of the Butte aux Cailles and that you start to feel the hunger to come, I advise you a small halt at the restaurant “Les Cailloux”. It is a small Italian restaurant not too far from the place of the Butte aux Cailles (XIII), with a middle-class Bohemian environment… but that's why we like the Butte aux Cailles, isn't it? The decoration is sober although a little sinks, with lamps which do not finish any going down… The reception is cordial and the service is fast. I can simply advise it to you for a meal with friends.

Second Life: my first avatar

2007-05-15T06:01:00.000Z

Second Life is very hype so I have just created my avatar and plug me to Second Life… I am not yet totally accustomed with the interface, but it is rather easy to move and interact with the objects. The inhabitants of Second Life (avatars) are very cool and never hesitate to guide you and to help you.

Above a small island that I discovered thanks to Zelena (an avatar met on SL), normally it is a beach of nudists, there is some one of them but not every people… The good point of this small island is that it is rather easy to gain Linden (the local dollar, which will enable you to buy new accessories for your avatar, or to take part in other activities of this world). Indeed on this beach, you can gain 2L$ for 10 minutes sunbathing and you can take part in a lottery and gain even more Linden (not later than yesterday, I gained 238L$)

My avatar, on the bath towel which pays you to sunbathe… As you have probably noticed, my avatar is a default one and looks like a first 3D game of Sega, I advise you to seek a news skin (skin) and to modify your avatar a little… Hair flex adds also much to realism…

An air sight of the dancefloor. I hope to find you on SL (do not hesitate to contact me if you want to be escorted)

Muffins with Parmesan and Parma ham

2007-05-04T16:17:00.000Z

A receipt of Gordon Ramsay, again… It is the third receipt which we test and the third receipt is quite as delicious as the preceding ones… It is a book which I advise you to buy and use to impress your guests at the time of an "aperitif dinatoire", or for a "tête à tête" This time it is a receipt of muffins with Parmesan and Parma ham whose preparation is a little strange at the beginning but whose result is excellent. Without waiting more, the receipt:

Ingredients:

85g butter not salted
100g of flour
a pinch of salt
Parma ham 100g, (small pieces)
3 eggs
4 sage sheets
40g Parmesan
220ml of water

Preparation:

First of all, put the oven to 200°. During this time, make gently heat water with butter in a pan, to mix them … I know water and fat does not mix… But I had not warned you that this receipt is a little strange When butter is quite molten increase fire. During this time mix salt with the flour. When the mixture starts to boil, add the salt-flour mixture and to withdraw fire to it. Mix vigorously until obtaining a homogeneous paste. Let cool.

Add eggs little by little to the mixture in order to obtain a homogeneous and flexible paste.

Then add the Parmesan, sage and Parma ham.

On a plate going to the oven, place a greaseproof paper sheet and made small heaps with the preparation (not more than 3 cm in diameter). Let cook during 20 to 25 minutes until muffins take a a little gilded color. Eat them hot or cold. Enjoy

My banana-chocolate

2007-04-02T12:57:00.000Z

Delicious receipt of banana-chocolate cake only for you

Ingredients:

3 eggs
sugar (brown sugar) 130g
50g of flour
1/2 yeast sachet
butter 150g

Preheat the oven (180°c). Mix eggs with sugar, add the flour and mix again. Put the chocolate with the butter in the microwaves. Incorporate the butter-chocolate melted in the preparation. Add slices of banana and the black chocolate squares. Pour the preparation in a cake pan (butter it and add some flour) Let cook the mixture approximately 35 minutes. It is necessary to remove the pan when the cake is tepid then let it cool at ambient temperature. Personally I advise you to taste this cake with homemade chantilly

My receipt of fajitas

2007-04-02T05:15:00.000Z

My first tests for the fajitas were limited to buy a prepared sauce… But it is not really funny thus I created my own receipt :

Ingredients:

3 onions (average)
1 large green pepper
2 tomatoes well wall
2 limp of tomato puree (2*70g)
tabasco (for those which like)

Receipt:

Cut onions in very small pieces. Put some olive oil on the bottom of a large pan, add onions and make them bleach. During this time, cut tomatoes and sweet pepper in very small pieces… Add to onions, and to let it on the fire during a few minutes. Add the tomato puree finally, cover and let cook a good 10 minutes. Your sauce for the fajitas is ready.

Good appetite

Rollmops and its vegetables

2007-03-28T16:56:00.000Z

The reverse engineering is very simple (for 2 people):

a box of rollmops
a half cucumber
2 tomatoes
a small green pepper
a carrot

Peel and cross with love: here it is ready… You can also prepare a small sauce containing soft white cheese, of a little dill and wine vinegar. Good meal

Joost: the P2P TV

2007-03-28T16:23:00.000Z

You probably know Kazaa and Skype… Imagine that their creators started to work on a new service … According to you which will they choose? The TV!!! Thus the old project known under the name of “Project Venice” is beginning its as Beta version under the name of Joost and like many Beta project, you are recruited either directly or by sponsorship the quality is rather good
The interface looks like an application written in Flash or something from the Internet world, but it does not look like an interface the Windows world. A little annoying at the beginning but you will quickly enjoy the interface.
For the moment there are only few channels… But it is a version beta, I guarantee that when the system will be more widespread, many advertisers will want to take benefit from this new service… Moreover I wonder what that will happen when each one will be able to create its own contents and to upload it in the system… It could be the end of VOD
of course you will have to wait sometimes… and especially at the beginning… but as a whole, it is largely possible to watch an emission without too much annoyance…
On the other hand, I do not know very well which software of compression they use, but it is a greedy resource: knowing that I have Pentium M (1,4GHz), that I have just launched Windows and that the only launched program is Joost (made abstraction of MSN and others…) I have an average consumption of my processor of 70%!!! On the other hand the use of the network remains suitable… I wonder well how that workss… I believe that I will have fun in the following days… and will watch series

Do you know what "Trusted Computing” is it is a new idea developed by some great names of computers, according to them to make our computers safer. The guiding principle is very simple, it consists in assigning a signature for each data-processing object (software, document, music), and delegating to a third party the task to check if the handled object is authorized with being used on the local system… Elegant you will say, at the end we will get rid of all theses viruses… But think just a little: who will be the third party, the confidence one? All the signatures will have to be checked by this third party, and thus each signature recorded in the big database of this new Big Brother what, in a Microsoft logic, for example, will mean paid a lot of money to record your signature (if you do not believe me, ask yourself this simple question: “How much would it cost me to have my certificate in Internet Explorer? ”). To explain hazards this concept, here a small film found on Zudeo:

Once again the great computer makers groups or OS makers intend to play Big Brother with the world… But once again, I think that the free software, will be able to answer this threat… If the laws are not voted by and for the million of $ these large companies!

The museum of the primitive arts or the museum of the Quai Branly

2007-03-22T08:18:00.000Z

The museum of the Quai Branly or museum of arts and civilizations of Africa, of Asia, of Oceania and Americas (nonWestern civilizations) is located as its name indicates on the Quai Branly. Personally, I think that in a near future it will be called Musée Chirac, the BNF is now called Bibliothèque François Mitterrand. Each French President has its own monument in France... (except maybe Valéry Giscard d'Estaing )As you can see on this picture, the museum is all longitudinally and rises a such house on piloti on the top of the garden… Next time you walk in the garden, have a look to the ground, you could discover something , the large cubes of color must correspond to rooms but I am not certain…
Because I did not visit yet, moreover, I suppose that the photograph above must correspond to the library part…
I wonder whether in summer open air conferences will be envisaged… A little like a chief council (OK, I recognize it, that strongly resembles to an amphitheatre… so much more with Latin 's touch…) Finally this museum is worth be seeing, and I think I will visit it soon… So follow this blog

A recipe of Gordon Ramsay, again! Marinated mushrooms

2007-02-21T19:56:00.000Z

I am kind of Gordon Ramsay's recipes: as I have a little time during the holidays, I test a receipt one after another as a consequence this evening the dish will be: marinated mushrooms (indeed I prepared them yesterday afternoon )

Antipasti: Stuffed courgette rolls

2007-02-18T17:11:00.000Z

Do you know Gordon Ramsay? it is one of the "grands chefs" in England . English cook is not the best of the world… but at least, they have very good chiefs. And Gordon Ramsay is not one of these good looking chiefs with no personality like Jamie Oliver… Gordon is better, it does not chew its words: it is a kind of Jean Pierre Coffe a little younger, more dynamic and much more talented. When I returned from England, I thus brought back two cookbooks by Gordon Ramsay and my girlfriend tested (for me) one of the receipt: Stuffed courgette rolls

Ingredients:

4 small courgettes
olive oil
250g of ricotta
juice of a half-lemon
salt pepper
sheets of basilica
pinion of pine
balsamic vinegar

Preparation:

Cut courgettes in length using a mandoline. Place them in a dish, sprinkle them of olive oil, salt, pepper and place in the fridge during 20 minutes.

Mix the ricotta with the lemon juice, a little olive oil and add salt and pepper as much as you want. Cook pinions of pine in a small frying pan… and add them to the mixture.

Form small balls of the mixture and to roll up them in the courgettes ribbons.

If after this receipt you do not want to know Gordon Ramsay… moreover one of its restaurants: Pétrus in Knightsbridge (London) received its second star with the Michelin guide.

Sony Ericsson w810i and Linux

2007-02-15T17:35:00.000Z

Despite all problems I had to stop my phone subscription at Orange , my new subscription will be an Orange one , after all, they are not so bad , my choice was a little quickly and I chose a Sony Ericsson w810i , I would have to check the compatibility of this telephone with Linux… Indeed I would like to be able to synchronize it with Kontact , in particular the calendar, To-do and the list of contacts… If like me you have large fingers: the keyboard of the portable telephone can be for you a nightmare

The good point of Sony Ericsson w810i is that it is provided with a USB cable to connect it with your PC, when it is connected, two modes are available:

File transfer
phone mode

The “File transfer” mode allows you to transfer the data from your mobile phone to Linux. But I have not yet succeed to make the contrary… The phone mode can be used with Kmobiltools to see contacts, the SMS sent and receives, to telephone and send SMS. But I still did not find the ultimate tool allowing me to synchronize my mobile phone with my KDE with the USB link, for that I am testing some software:

Kandy: hmmm… that does not work!
Kmobiletools: works very well but it is not what I am looking for
Wammu/Gammu: the X interface is very ugly but this software seems to works well when it does not freeze
Gnokii: command line tool and requires to create yourself a configuration file. Kontact uses this tool by default, but that does not work very well
GCALSYNC: that deviates a little my wired vision of a local synchronisation, but that will at least enable me to manage correctly my schedule.

For the moment I am reduce to synchronize my telephone under Windows… and synchronise Windows with Linux… this is not the universal panacea but I seek and hope well to find a perfect solution

Big Brother is getting bigger and bigger

2007-01-28T22:37:00.000Z

Details of millions of English people could soon be shared by bureaucrats on a giant database. This database is said to improve public services but it will sweep away privacy protection laws too. A lot of civil liberties groups condemned the project as another step towards a Big Brother state! England is already leading the world in video surveillance with more than 4 million CCTV cameras in the country... and now Tony Blair unveils the Big Brother project... It is time that English people put a halt to this and take care about their privacy... English government has already proved its incapacity in big IT project (NHS, or register of criminals...) but when it is matter of money they are always ready for the worse... Let's see if English people will stand up for their privacy... Just a little quotation that everyone should keep in mind:

First they came for the hackers. But I never did anything illegal with my computer, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the pornographers. But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the anonymous remailers. But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for the encryption users. But I could never figure out how to work pgp5 anyway, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for me. And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

A personal wiki for Math

2007-01-27T23:15:00.000Z

A few weeks ago, I presented Tiddlywiki: a marvellous Javascript which enables you to have a wiki on your computer without apache… I also explained you that it is very difficult to make maths in HTML and on the occasion, I had spoken about jsMath, which enables you to do it … Why not to combine both, to obtain the dream tool to make maths, to take some notes… I will explain you how to make:

1. install Tiddlywiki: it is as easy as pie but you should install it in a dedicated directory…
2. download jsMath , decompress it in the same directory as Tiddlywiki
3. Then open your new personal wiki, “options>>” then “ImportTiddlers”
4. enter the URL of the plugin allowing to make the connection between Tiddlywiki and jsMath
http://bob.mcelrath.org/tiddlyjsmath-2.0.3.html#%5B%5BPlugin%3A%20Scientific%20Notation%5D%5D
5. click fetch and select the good plugin:
Plugin: jsMath /*** |Name|Plugin: jsMath| |Created by|BobMcElrath systemConfig systemTiddlers
6. reload the page (by pressing F5 for example)
7. Normally that should work.

Personally I had a small problem, it did not find def.js… I have thus to create in the file jsMath, this list of directory: fonts/cm-fonts/alpha/ and I copied there the file def.js which could be found in the directory uncompressed. Now it works perfectly. I hope to allow the development of mathematics

Against !!!

2007-01-26T23:11:00.000Z

Yes I am against programs like Big Brother, I was not very clear in my previous post... It makes me sick to think that I pay TV for doing such things. I have never watch it, but it is programmed every day! All this wonderful program which cannot be broadcasted because of this headless program... Yes it makes me sick! Moreover it is not enough to pollute the TV, it pollutes the newspapers too! What a society! Where is the progress of the mankind? People who watch it will explain you that this is a great experiment... Rubbish it is only an experiment about spectators... How many million of pounds can you do with old "has-been"?

Big Brother

2007-01-25T22:21:00.000Z

Whereas France forsakes Loft Story for the Star ac… (Frankly I wonder which one of these two emissions is the worst ) the English are fond for the Celebrity Big Brother (the name is self explaining…) even if at the beginning the audience were not very high, only a little media buzz around behavior of Jade Goody against the Indian actress Shilpa Shetty is necessary to create audience … the whole powdered with the word “racism” and the audience flies away personally if I were the producer of this show, I would be very happy. Personally, I do not think that Jade Goody is really racist, I think especially that she is stupid… that is all… Moreover the participants all are more or less stars on the end which hopes to give an electric shock to their career hoping to make beat the heart of the public one last time while keeping their electroencephalograph to 0 . Small list of participants:

Carole (journalist in Sunday Mirror)
Cleo Rocos
Danielle Lloyd
Dirk (the face in the A-Team)
Donny (a rocker…)
Ian Watkins
Jack (… friend of Jade Goody…)
Jackiey (mother Jade Goody)
Jade Goody (she did absolutely anything… she was only finalist in another Big Brother… )
Muhammad Abdul Aziz (the big brother of Michael Jackson)
OJ (the singer of S Seven Club (that's great artists))
Ken Russell (director of Tommy of Who)
Leo Sayer (a former singer)
Shilpa Shetty (an Indian actress)

I told you that they are all great artists in England, one can make fortune with anything

The Foie Gras

2007-01-24T23:18:00.000Z

The town of York could be the first English city to prohibit the sale of Foie gras! The production of Foie gras is already prohibited in the country. The city council man Labour Paul Blanchard is at the origin of this motion of banishment. The text must be submited Thursday evening to the vote of the town council of York. The foie gras is the result of the cramming of ducks and of geese, that everyone knows it… I visited even this kind of breeding and attended cramming. Mr. Blanchard estimates that it was about “cruelty towards the animals”. Personally I do not think that it is crueler than to lock up thousands of chick in barraque nonenlightened… I do not know… In any case the foie gras is much better than the chicken poor English people, lucky geeses…

Big Brother Awards

2007-01-23T21:58:00.000Z

Not! it is not a post aboout a stupid English program and I will not speak either about Jade Goody… Big Brother is the “character” created by George Orwell in his book 1984 (if you have not yet read it: you should)… and became synonymous with monitoring, or breaking the private life… and in fact precisely the French personalities (especially politicians) having acted like BigBrother “were rewarded” on January 20… One can find Jacques Lebrot, Paul Anselin, Pascal Clément… Nicolas Sarkozi being declared out of the competition . Follow the link it is realy amusing!

How to remember several very very complicated passwords?

2007-01-20T23:50:00.000Z

in fact you only need to remember one password

I have just discovered “Password Composer”: the principle is simple: when you install this Greasemonkey script, each time it discovers a password field, it colors this field with green… If you double-click on the fields… a new dialog box appears and asks you for your master password… Script add then this password with the address of the site (with a change or two) and hash the result (md5)… This gives you a quite complicated password Why not use the same password for all the Web sites, because if one of the Web sites is cracked (and that happens very often…) the hacker can retrieve your password with a “rainbow table” or by brute force… he will have both your login and your password… It then he uses Google to know where you connect also and then can access to quite all your accounts… It is then enough to use different passwords but the complicated passwords are difficult to remember…

The only disadvantage of this script is that you will not have any more access from anywhere on your account, you will always need this script to connect you if safety is at this price, it does not bother me you can always take your key USB with firefox on it but you are likely to become as paranoiac as me and to crypt it

Benjamin Franklin and the security

2007-01-18T22:07:00.000Z

Security is not only a problem of the 21st century...

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety

Benjamin Franklin

This quotation is dedicated to all the people who think that the new biometric identity cards will prevent terrorism, but which often forget that nothing distinguishes a terrorist from an honest citizen and that consequently the only manner of fighting against this plague would be to read the most intimate thoughts of each one… I am sure that you are a little less enthusiastic now… If it is not the case, I advise you highly the reading of 1984 of George Orwell.

Google from scratch

2007-01-17T22:39:00.000Z

Why not become the new Google? Indeed all the ingredients are today at your disposal… the Lucene search engine + an open source crawler like Nutch or Hadoop… You miss nothing except memory and computing power… Just ask Amazon, which for a very competitive price will provide you computing power and space . So why are you waiting for becoming multi-godillonaire like Forrest Gump? a good business model to pay Amazon and to perhaps make cool benefit or you can request the god Web 2.0

Crush or remote face

2007-01-12T22:36:00.000Z

Do you know that it is possible to play crush or face remotely? I choose crush or face and the other player launches the coin… but how to check that the other does not lie? Just use mathematics In fact just use a function F difficult to reverse (hash function) : i.e.

if I choose x and that I calculate y=f (x) and that I give you y, it is impossible for you to find x.
if you choose x and x' different, it is quasi impossible that f (x) =f (x').

Let us now see how can wemake: we agree: crush corresponds to the even numbers and face the odd numbers… Thus if I choose x=346432113344662: that means that I chose crush… Now I calculate Ff(X) and I send it to you: it is impossible for you to find my x , I let you launch the coin and announce me the result… To prove to you that I chose crush well, I give you x, you calculate f(x) and you can check that by calculating y=f (x) I cannot lie you: there exists only one x such as f(x) = y, if it is face… I lost: it is impossible for me to find a x' such f(x') =y. You thought that it was impossible: mathematics did it .

LaTeX on Blogger

2007-01-11T23:08:00.000Z

I have finally succeded to implement a LaTeX compiler for Blogger based on Greasemonkey: for example : in fact the display is not really good on this blog, but on a blog with a white background, it is really good. I have written a quick Howto, just follow this link: Howto have LaTex equation on Blogger . Finally Blogger is becoming more math friendly... Enjoy

Picasaweb and a pseudo security

2007-01-07T21:56:00.000Z

I have just tested Picasaweb, I had not tested it yet for the simple reason which I have no desire for spreading out my private life on the Web… nevertheless to exchange pictures with somebody, it can not be too bad, therefore I the uploaded some pics in an unlisted album… Google explains you that this album will be accessible only to the people,who are invited by you. So why a research on Google of the type: “site: picasweb.google.com authkey” returns at least one result??? It is absolutely not a safe solution to share pictures. And I was thinking that Google was one of the champions of safety … No Sorry So Be careful…

Equations in Blogger???

2007-01-04T23:29:00.000Z

Some times to make understand an idea, a little more complicated, it is necessary to use good tools: mathematics… When I must write a report, I use LaTeX , but on my blog how can I make??? Have you ever tried to represent an integral on blogger: it is quite impossible. This is why I seek everywhere to find a solution… for example jsmath which is a javascript code and which modifies the LaTeX code directly in the end-user browser… nevertheless, that requires that all the code is located on Blogger: which is not the case… the only solution in the long term will be to modify the script … Another solution a little less elegant consists in transforming beforehand all the equations into images (png) for example with this LaTeX editor on line, but that is not very user friendly… Notice that I did not speak yet about MathML, this language based on the XML should answer this problem as soon as it is completely finalized and that all the browsers will understand it… We can say that it is not for tomorrow … So if you have an idea, tell me

Enough of Youtube… Discover Zudeo

2006-12-21T22:43:00.000Z

Zudeo is a very new site offering only videos of high definition to be downloaded… thanks to the Bitorrent technology (more precisely based on the Azureus engine). This time the files being able to be to download are free. Thus they are primarily trailer cards, and videos of high quality of video game or small films without pretention… But the BBC made an agreement to put all its emissions on it: Doctor Who, Monty Python, perhaps Torchwood… The large distributors only start to foresee the possibilities of Peer-to-Peer… The world is changing

The Chinese Theorem

2006-12-20T21:46:00.000Z

Following a little discussion with Wendell, a little presentation of the Chinese theorem. At the 3rd century, Sun Tsu developed an elegant way to count the number of soldier of the Great Army of China. It makes them be aligned on 13, 17, 19, 23 columns and count only the number of soldier who does not form a complete row: a small diagram to explane on 3 rows:

result: Sun Tsu counts only up to 2… Let us note N the number of soldier of the large army and A the product it a1.a2.a3… the problem is then:

NR = n1 [a1]
NR = N2 [a2]
NR = n3 [a3]
...

if a1, a2, a3… are chosen to be prime 2 to 2 then N can be written as:

N=n1.n1.(A/a1) + n2.n2.(A/a2) + n3.n3.(A/a3)...

How to calculate e1, e2, e3….? In fact it is very simple: just use the correct identity of Bezout:

e1 such as e1.a1 + n1. (A/a1) = 1
and so n1.n1.(A/a1) = 1 [a1]

from there you can easily check that the solution is the good one modulo A.
Voila Wendell: this is the Chinese theorem…

A new search engine: Riya

2006-12-19T22:23:00.000Z

I have just discovered a brand new service: RIYA, which allow you to make pictures recognition. But what could be the purpose of such a tool... First of all have you ever tried to find a given picture on Google or Flickr? Most of the time you find all and nothing... If you try to search a car: you will find video Games about cars and a lot of other things... but probably not what you are exactly searching, at least not in the first result... It is because Google search in the content of the page, which contains the picture... not the picture itself. It means that if I create a web page about cars but with a pics of a pizza: if you search "car", you will probably find my "pizza". That's why Google want to tags pictures... and ask for user to label some pics It is presented as a game: very clever.
Riya does that alone, automatically and recognize some faces and read directly inside the picture. You have to add your pics, and then train the system by selectionning the face of a person and put a name associate to this face... Then the search engine can do that alone... So now imagine that you want to find all the pictures of Clint Eastwood: the search engine will effectively find only pics of Clint Eastwood... You want a picture not the text with the picture: the search engine index the content of the pics... I don't know the technology they use but result some to be good...

Emoticons for Blogger

2006-12-16T23:06:00.000Z

I have used the Firefox extension: Greasemonkey to add a new fonctionnality to Blogger: emoticons . You can find the script here: emoticons for blogger and how to install it. For the moment the proof :

I think that emoticons are the best way to make understand emotions, thinks and opinions. Since the beginning, I have always thought that the lack of emoticons was the only lack of Blogger... Because Google is not quick enough to fix it, I use Greasemonkey to fix it... Thank you firefox I still have to tweak the code to insert the emoticon just after the cursor, but the script is already usable: ENJOY

Data leaks from the "Identity and Passport Service"

2006-12-10T09:51:00.000Z

Thanks to Wendell, I have found another article (follow the link of the title). It seems that information already detained by the State is not secured... In the Identity and Passport Service, which is setting up the National Identity Register, some members of the staff "hacked" the system to access private data from citizens...

Personal information about every British passport holder - including their date of birth, mother's maiden name, address and photographs - is already held in the IPS computers.

Now, do you remember one of the most common question bank ask you when they try to retrieve information about you... Yes your mother's maiden name! But it is simple to use it on Google, Yahoo or MSN to access to the mailbox... because in this case too, the mother's maiden name is often one of the recovery question... So even with so few information, which could already lead to an identity theft... you can already do some very harmful things... The problem with the dream of the British Big Brother is that it seems that every one can look over its shoulder... So imagine what could happen in the future with biometric data (have a look to this cartoon thank you Anonymous ;-) ) That's why I think that we have to think very carefully to the information we let institutions to record... And how they do that! That was the principal reason of my previous post...

Heathrow becomes biometric

2006-12-06T18:53:00.000Z

The Heathrow airport is beginning to test an iris scan biometric machine to identify passengers at customs. Big Brother is not yet here and biometric passport are not yet mandatory... In fact passengers at Heathrow airport are being invited to take part in a trial of tech biometric scanning equipment which aims to make the travelling process easier by getting people through identity checks faster than ever before... All iris scan are record in a database, which will permit later to speed up the check of passenger... But the problem is how to be sure that this database will be safe, that information will not leak... Some people already sell data about others like address, phone number, gender, bank account number... So imagine what might happen with your biometric characteristics... Have you ever seen "Minority Report" and "Gattaca"? In Minority Report, all the shops use your iris to display targeted advertising... In Gattaca, even if there are plenty of biometric detector, one guy is able to fool all of them... This technology can be very useful but data have to be recorded carefully, maybe by using a fuzzy system... This time you don't record the biometric characteristic but a key c and the distance between c and your biometric characteristic x, which is name d. Now we use a fuzzy hash function: minor error leads to the same result, medium error produces a different hash. So in your database you have:

(h(c),d)

when you present your biometric characteristic, you compute: h(d+x') which has to match h(c) to be accepted...

The result is that you can change the secret if the database is compromise... It is maybe not the best method, as it requests a good function h but it is probably better than let the data on an untrusted server... Live and learn to see how this system will be broken...

Flash Player 9 and Linux

2006-12-02T19:18:00.000Z

YES, now I will be able to play to the games written in Flash and to enjoy the new web sites based on Flex2.0. This time, it is as easy as pie to install : just download the plugin from this adress:
http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b2_installer_linuxplugin
uncompress it and copy libflashplayer.so in your user's directory of plugins of Mozilla: it must be something as: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ ... Restart it, and now you are ready for web site based on flash (you can test the MacDo's game). And now enjoy the beauty of flash...

Close and manage file with vim

2006-11-29T22:35:00.000Z

Let's continue with the best practice of the vim software:

:q
to close vim
:q!
to close vim without recording the modifications
:w
to write the modification
:w [NEW_FILE]
to write the file you are editing in NEW_FILE
:w! [FILE]
it is the same action as before but you force the action
:n,mw [FILE]
save the lines from n to m in the file FILE
:n,mw >>[FILE]
add the lines from n to m at the end of the file FILE
:wq ou :x ou ZZ
Save the file and close vim
:e!
edit the file again but with the version on the disk
:e [FILE]
edit the file FILE rather than the current file (:e! to force the action)
:r [FILE]
insert the file FILE after the current line
:rn [FILE] ou :nr [FILE]
insert the file FILE after the line n
n is either a number, or . for the current line, or $ for the last line.
:version
display information about vim

it should be enough today to play a little and increase your productivity lol ;-)

Brothers in court "for making pet dog obese"

2006-11-29T21:47:00.000Z

At first glance, you could think that if Derek and David Denton go to a court for their dog, it is because of some Fast Food for dog, like a Royal McDo... Not at all they are guilty to have feed their dog too much...

I am waiting now the first trial of parents, who let their child becoming obese...

A search engine dedicated to Security

I have played a little with the Google's technology to develop a search engine dedicated to the Security (of Internet, Computer, Networks...)

The search engine can be found at this adress:

http://cosearch.googlepages.com/cosecurity.html

For the moment only those urls are recorded for researches:
http://www.sans.org
http://secunia.com/
http://www.securityfocus.com/
http://edition.cnn.com/2006/LAW/11/20/internet.libel.ap/index.html(Court OKs broad Web libel immunity)

In fact I use it at my office, but it seems that it is not yet enough mature for the moment only : there are not enough urls in its database... So if some people want to take part to the adventure or post some interesting url...

How to launch Vim

2006-11-19T17:07:00.000Z

We have to begin with the beginning: it is not easy to use Vim at 100%, but as soon as you will you can win a huge amount of time ;-)

To open a file:
vim myfile
To have a list of all the file you can recover:
vim -r
To recover a file after a crash:
vim -r to find recovery files available (they end with .swp)
Then, when you find it, type
vim -r .pass.txt.swp
if you want to open a file at the line N for example: just type:
vim +N myfile
to open it and go directly to the end of the file:
vim + myfile
To open file at the first line containing some regular expression regexp
vim +/regexp myfile
Enough for this post...

Vim

2006-11-19T09:10:00.000Z

In my office, because we are in a Windows environment for our laptop/destop, but because all our server run Linux/Unix, I have to program in command line and as consequence I use Vim... If you want to know what is vim go to wikipedia, if you don't want to change the page (;-) good girl or good boy or good alien) : here is the Vim's introduction directly from Wikipedia:

Vim, which stands for Vi IMproved, is an open source, multiplatform text editor extended from vi. It was first released by Bram Moolenaar in 1991. Since then, numerous features have been added to Vim, many of which are helpful in editing program source code. Vim is today one of the two most popular editors for programmers and users of Unix-like operating systems, alongside Emacs.

Vim is a very powerful editor... as soon as you know how to use it! Son in the next day I will try to give you the main command and explain to you how to use it at 100%.

A McDonald's game?

2006-11-17T19:36:00.000Z

I have already talked about Fast Food Nation and the way the Fast Food business makes huges profits by jeopardizing the health of american citizens... Why not try to see what is the problem with MacDonald by becoming Ronald McDonald? You will understand why trying too much money too quickly prevent you to verify the health of cows... and the consequences of that...

What is air guitar?

2006-11-15T22:39:00.000Z

Have you ever done as you are playing guitar? Have you ever dreamed to be a Clapton? Probably but what you probably don't know is that you were playing air guitar: if you think you are better as people in the video you should thing to take part to the annual Air Guitar Championship or let me message on this blog so you could create an air band ;-)

Paris-London = 2H

2006-11-14T19:58:00.000Z

soon... Next year in fact... It will take 20 minutes less to go from Paris to London. Have you ever noticed that the Eurostar is always slower in England than in France: it is because the railway is not suitable to the TGV: so they will move from Waterloo Station to St Pancras station in the north of London near Regent's Park. Isn'it paradoxical that to earn 20 minutes the train will have to drive farer? The Eurostar station will move on the 13/14th November 2007 night... I think it is mainly for the Olympics Games and for the potential earning due to London 2012. Anyway it is a very good news for all the travelers like me ;-)

Kapersky and the 20 viruses

2006-11-11T10:01:00.000Z

Kaspersky has just published its list of the top 20 malwaress (Virus/Trojan/Worm/...) spreaded by mail. As a consequence, in the case you see those little creature: don't click on them, don't try to play with them...

Email-Worm.Win32.NetSky.q
Email-Worm.Win32.Warezov.dn
Email-Worm.Win32.Bagle.gen
Email-Worm.Win32.Scano.gen
Email-Worm.Win32.Warezov.ev

Some new players in the team: Warezov.dn, Warezov.ev, Warezov.dc, Warezov.do, Warezov.eu, Warezov.gen, Warezov.dh.
Some malwares which begin to extinguish: NetSky.b, Mytob.c, Bankfraud.od, Scano.aq. Unfortunately we can notice the return of: NetSky.q, Bagle.gen, Bagle.mail, Mydoom.l, Mydoom.m, Scano.e, NetSky.aa, Bagle.dx, this means that some people don't have an uptodate antivirus, as a consequence they are infected and spread the threat! So install an antivirus if you haven't one already and ensure that it is uptodate (not only Kapersky, but Norton too, or ClamWin...)

LastFMproxy, Streamripper and Amarok

2006-11-03T19:33:00.000Z

I have recently discovered Lastfm, the community radio. It is a great thing just give it the name of some artists you like and it will gather musics of this artists or similar artists... After that you can be a little more specific and say if you like the music or if you want to ban it! Most of the time the choices are excellent and they are becoming more and more relevant with the time and your selection. If you want to read the lastfm flux in one of your old player on linux, you should try lastfmproxy (you can find it here ), just uncompress the archive with this command:
tar -xvzf lastfmproxy-1.1.tar.gz
then go inside the directory you have just created, modify the config.py file with your username and password for Last.fm. That's it, now you can run the main script:
python main.py
you should see something like:
Starting LastFMProxy 1.1...
Connecting to last.fm server...
To tune in, point your browser to:
http://localhost:1881/
The last line stand to give you the url you can listen in your old player... So start it and open this url. That's working ;-) Great.
In all the previous part I said "old player", it is because with the great player of linux: Amarok, you can directly play Last.fm: you need to go in Settings and that's it! You can now choose open a Last.fm flux! Enjoy.
You probably wonder why I told you about LastFmproxy if you don't need it to play LastFM if you use Amarok... It is because there is a little trick: if you listen LastFM, you only listen it, when you shut down your computer, or when the music is finished, there is no way to listen it again! So let install streamripper to record all this music on your computer. First of all you should only record music with a copy left, otherwise you are out of law! Now start lastfmproxy as explained before. And type this little command:
streamripper http://localhost:1881/lastfm.mp3 -d /home/mynqme/mydirectory -r
you can notice 3 arguments:
the radio you want to listen and record
the directory in which you will save music
the last argument will let you listen the music you are recording.
Launch the command, go to Amarok and open the url http://localhost:8000
That's it you can listen and record music on LastFM

Monty Python

2006-10-30T19:15:00.000Z

Did you know that the word SPAM comes from a Monty Python sketch? Yes SPAM: these mails that you receive everyday in your mail box, these mails which promize you a big cash prize in a lottery ( or a purchase for a lottery ticket) or those which ask you the detail of you bank account, or a big winning prize and at last but not the least, the man in some country, who asks you to give him money in order to save funds from some dictators... All this new threats (SCAM or SPAM) are now named according a sketch by Monty Python

Lottery Scam

2006-10-30T18:58:00.000Z

Since I received this letter from Euromillones, I made some researches about scams... In fact it was my first but there is not only the Italian Lottery which is used: the british one too. It’s worth noting that there is really a UK national lottery. The National lottery does not run an email campaign at all. As usually in SCAM, you will be asked for a series of charges to get the prize in cash or details of your bank account and it will never arrive! This is a scam so ignore it. Here a copy of this mail:

Someone try to steal my bank account number...

2006-10-28T14:43:00.000Z

This morning, I received a strange mail from the Euromillones lottery primitiva s.a. This is surprising because I never buy a ticket... Moreover this mail come from Spain... But what is very annoying is that the name on the letter, has the same error as the name I gave to BT! In fact, when I opened my BT line, they miswrite my name and this is exactly the same error which appears on the letter I received: this is probably not a coincidence! BT leaks information about its customers, which could give the possibility to someone to send me a letter or even try to steal my identity! In fact in the letter it is written (I will copy this letter, so you will be able to compare if you received the same) that I won 615 810 euros... but I must give them my bank account number so they will be able to transfer the money to my account: THIS IS PHISHING. Sorry man I am not dumb. I will probably try to contact BT and explain them the situation... For the moment I will copy the letter here, so you can compare, if you receive the same letter:

The best killer: Golgo13

2006-10-25T21:18:00.000Z

I am currently reading this manga. In fact I am reading the best 13 stories of Golgo13, and I try to read only one episode per day. From Wikipédia: "

Golgo 13 has been called a Japanese counterpart to James Bond, except with a darker character, a much more hardcore attitude towards sex, and a complete lack of morality. Golgo 13 is described as a mystery man of undetermined origin, possibility being at least part Japanese, who takes any assignment for any employer (it has been said he has worked for the CIA and the KGB) as long as the right price is given (usually around 1 million dollars for a hit) and will always fulfill his contracts, even if he has two or more opposing contracts at the same time. He is an uncanny sharpshooter, with near 100% accuracy (with only one missed shot) and capable of lethal trick shooting, and regularly uses a customized, scoped M-16 rifle in his assassinations. He also is a heavy smoker of cigars."
That is a real killer not one of the James Bond or other hero from Hollywood: Goglo13 never does something randomly. He is well trained and is a bit like a killer machine.

Fast Food Nation

2006-10-18T19:38:00.000Z

This is the spookiest book I have ever read! Do you know E.coli 0157:H7? This is a bacteria, a stain of Escherichia coli. Everyone has some non pathogenic stain of Escherichia coli. But if you have E.coli 0157:H7, you should got to the hospital as soon as possible. Actually this stain can be lethal, it leads to kidneys disease... Why I speak about E.coli 0157:H7? Because I am reading the excellent book of Eric Schlosser: "Fast Food Nation". In this book you learn how big firms jeopardize the health of all the American nation... They try to make as much money as possible and the easiest way to do that is to give money to Congress in order it forgets to control what Fast Food are doing and what happens in slaughterhouse. You will never eat an hamburger after this book:

A best seller!

Greasemonkey and Technorati Tags

2006-10-17T18:44:00.000Z

I have just discovered Greasemonkey: a little extension for Firefox to modify web pages dybamically... Install this extension and then find the good javascript. For example, I am currently using one of this script, which permit you to add technorati tags while you are writing your post. Possibility of Greasemonkey seems to be limitless: so enjoy

How to verify the root user id on SUN?

2006-10-17T18:25:00.000Z

If you program sometimes on Sun Solaris, you have probably noticed that the syntax is not always the same as the one of Linux, or HP-Unix... This time, before running my script I had to verify that it is root, who runs the script: after 30 minutes of headhache, I finally find a way: enjoy the aspirin

WHO=`id | cut -f1 -d" "`
if [ ! "$WHO" = "uid=0(root)" ]
then
echo "You must be super-user to run this script."
exit 1
fi

How to get rid of output of your scripts?

2006-10-17T18:19:00.000Z

Just add at the end of your command line: >/dev/null 2>&1 so you redirect fd1 to /dev/null, then dump it onto fd2:

Normally: fd1 -> stdout fd2 -> stderr

>/dev/null: fd1 -> /dev/null fd2 -> stdout

2>&1: fd1 -> /dev/null fd2 -> /dev/null

Now no more output, it is very interessant espscially for cronjob.

Residents urged to leave homes over asbestos risk

2006-10-15T18:16:00.000Z

I have just read this article... In one hand, you can consider that it is a good thing that those people have to leave this houses full of asbestos... Actually asbestos can lead to disease as mesothelioma (mesothelioma is a rare cancer, usually found in those exposed to asbetos). In the other hand, at the end of the article, it is claim that it is only a way to get rid of these houses to build something new... One more time this is a bit spooky... Do our leader only think to money and not to our welfare. But I am for The Imperative of Responsibility (Hans Jonas), if people can die of mesothelioma, they should move to another house. So I agree with the decision. Nevertheless if some clues show that it was only to feed the greed of some politics... These men deserve a good trial.

Enviga or the size zero

2006-10-13T19:46:00.000Z

Coca cola is cheating you with its next product: Enviga. With Nestlé, they developped a new drink, which comes in three flavours (green tea, berry and peach). What is at stake is that Coca Cola is claiming its latest product could burn off calories just by drinking it. Consuming three 350ml is said to make you lose 60 to 100 calories. But if you read this blog during 10 minutes make you lose more calories. Shame of Coca Cola, because it is clear that Coca Cola is targetting teenage girls and was trying to cash in on the "size zero" phenomenon.

Google Groups Beta

2006-10-12T20:47:00.000Z

Google has a new beta: Google Groups Beta . You probably remember the old one, more in the google spirit: simplistic... Today with javascript and Ajax, this application enter in the pantheon of the web 2.0. Have a look, it is always the same system but more good looking.

Google sceptical

2006-10-12T20:06:00.000Z

I am wondering why Google keep all its application in beta stage? How many people have today a gmail account, how many people have today a blogger account... A lot... What happen if you ask money, even a little, for this services? People will pay because they have too much things on their blog and too much mail in Gmail (2,7Go)... Don't forget that Microsoft permit you to use its beta version of Office, but after you have to pay to use it... I don't know what is in the mind of Eric Shmidt but if someone a bit more greedy come at the head of google he could make huge profit... So be careful with all this new applications of the Web 2.0, and keep copy on your computer of your mails and posts.

Feynman's lessons

2006-10-11T19:54:00.000Z

Have you ever heard of Feynman? Feynman is one of the youngest Nobel Price in physics. He is the father of the quantum computer. Instead of being a boring teacher, Feynman is certainly the greatest teacher of physics, who has ever lived. If you want to understand something to the quantum mechanics with a book which do not begin with a math formula read the book below. Every good teacher has ever read Feynman's lessons or should! All student in physics shoul read this book, each chapter is like a novel, you read a book of Feynman like an Harry Pother.

Read this book and you will become better in physics I promise you

Google Word

2006-10-11T08:53:00.000Z

Google Docs is alive. With Google spreadsheet you can already get rid of Excel... Now the application, which is use by almost everyone, I mean "Word" has been mimic by Google. I have for the moment only have a quick look at it but it seems promising. The only big issue with that is your provider or even Google... What will happen when you won't have network in your office, at home or if the service is disrupted... stop working.... I thinks that the next step of Google will be a software. We will hear soon of the Goobuntu or the OS by Google ;-) go and see http://doc.google.com

Google Calendar && Kontact

2006-10-09T20:01:00.000Z

I only start to fill my Calendar by Google, but I have also my calendar on my portable with Kontact... The question which often arises in these cases, how to share information between the two (except if you are schizophrenic...) how to synchronize the two calendars??? Mr. Google once again thought to everything: it is simple: settings > calendars > share this calendar > calendar details.... There you will see small squares of color XML, iCal, HTML on the line private addresse. Select iCal and copy the address which is kindly given to you by Google. Now on Kontact: File > Import > Import Calendar... At this time there, instead of seeking on your computer a file, enter the address given by M.Google answer two or three questions... that is it. You finally could be more effective in your work, to optimize your life; -)

Linux:: AmaroK

2006-10-08T21:08:00.000Z

In the inuits legends, Amarok is the giant wolf which devours the imprudent hunters, who hunt alone the night. In the world of computers, Amarok is the application which could too devour the imprudent users of Windows which use the old old old Itunes... Amarok is an application of the free world which works exclusively under Linux or Unix.

AmaroK allows inter alia:

to manage advanced playlists
to develop new functionalities via scripts
to record statistical data of a song even if this one is renamed or moved
to use K3B (burning software for Kde) for the CD engraving
to use the data bases to store information of music
to use your iPod
to manually configure a generic reader with key format USB
to benefit from the crossfading
to use MusicBrainz to recover informations on your music
to recover the words of the songs
to recover the covers of albums on the Amazon site
to recover on Wikipédia the articles on the album, the artist or the song in the course of listening
to manage the support of radio operator flows of last.fm

Unfortunately for the users of Windows, Amarok will never be carried under Windows because of:

its licence LPG
KDE-libs (which it uses)
need somebody to do it...

An easy, personal wiki

2006-10-07T08:32:00.000Z

I have always wanted to install a wiki on my laptop to write all the tips I find... But to install a wiki, most of the time you need Apache or MySql or PHP running on your personal laptop... It is OK if you want to run a wiki for a community but if you search something more personal, you probably don't want to use all that stuff... This morning, I find the solution: Tiddlywiki . To install it, just go on the web site of Tiddlywiki, go in the download section... And save a page!!! Yes Tiddlywiki consists on only one single HTML file with all you need inside: CSS and Javascript... Now you can write your first "Tiddler" an equivalent of a post in yout brand new wiki.

Wealth of the World, Poverty of Nations

2006-10-02T22:01:00.000Z

I have just finished this book again, I say "again" because I have already read it 3 times, over 3 years? It is a small pocket book but all the essential ideas to understand the phenomenon of globalization are there.

it is read almost like a novel. The author Daniel Cohen makes us cross all the currents of thought of economic sciences, from Smith to Ricardo, and Keynes, all the authors of economic sciences are present. This book is full of references? You will find the theory of the O-Ring ring there, the theory of the four quarters of Reich, the reflexions on the marriage of today in this new dynamics. I advise it to you sincerely. You will understand finally the mechanisms of the globalization and why one should not believe the politicians who exploit the fear of the people to try to gain votes. Globalization is a fact and all the nations can benefit from it: if a redistribution of the profits is correctly made inside the country? All this depends on the strength and the integrity of our policies.

Blogger:: Pings and cowboys

2006-09-24T11:15:00.000Z

if you read blogs, it is that doubtless that you have also a blog, or that you think of opening one or you are just curious… In the three cases, you know or you want to learn that to aware services such as Technorati or pingomatic, a ping should be sent to them… Because I am lazy, that I want to send a maximum of ping, I wrote a small script to send a ping to several these engines of blog research.

Today I wrote two post consecutively: here are what the waiter pingomatic answered me

C http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
--> Pinging too fast. Slow fox trot down cowboy. Please ping No more than ounce every 5 minutes.

personally I like their humour; -)

Linux:: Use of ssh-agent

2006-09-24T11:08:00.000Z

You often connect remotely by using ssh… and you are fed up of always having to enter your password: ssh-agent is made for you. ssh-agent is a daemon whose only goal is to keep in memory (in a protected way) the “passphrase” so that it is not necessary to type it with each use of ssh.

The following order creates the variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK which contains the way of a socket that ssh, SCP (and other orders) will use to dialogue with ssh-agent:
$ ssh-agent

To communicate the private key and the sentence of master key to ssh-agent by means of ssh-add:
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Enter the passphrase for /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa:

The private key is thus deciphered and stored in the mask of ssh-agent, lends to being used
One can now use ssh and SCP without having to enter the password.

Linux:: How to install IMVU on Linux

2006-09-23T18:21:00.000Z

Sorry, I do not have a magic receipt, I tested Wine and Crossover well, but I had some problems with glu32.dll and opengl32.dll… I have thus to try the vitualisation and my Windows machine in Qemu. It is great, it works! I launch only that, and I have to remove the updates automatic of Windows, But yes, I can regenerate my virtual machine, therefore in the worst case the virus or the Trojan will remain there only one hour or two: -) not of chance for hackers. Moreover I am seeking how to accelerate my virtual machine: there that could become really a magic receipt, moreover if you have some already: as usual leave me a message
