Chromoxy

I have just read the article from LifeHacker on how to block ads in Chrome browser Goolge ... ce serait un peu comme l'extension AdBlock Plus pour Chrome ;-) voir même encore un peu plus que seulement filtrer les publicités sur Chrome... 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:

#!/bin/sh / bin / sh

# Demarrage de Privoxy # Starting Privoxy
cd /Applications/privoxy/ cd / Applications / privoxy /
./privoxy & . / privoxy &

# demarrage de Chrome # START Chrome
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:8118" / Applications / Google \ Chrome.app / Contents / MacOS / Google Chrome - proxy-server = "http://127.0.0.1:8118"

cd cd

et en utilisant Platypus , il devient super facile de créer ensuite une véritable application : and using Platypus, it becomes super easy to then create a real application:

Facile non ;-) si vous êtes intéressés, je peux continuer à développer cette "application". ;-) Not easy if you're interested, I can continue to develop this "application". J'attends vos retours I await your return

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

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)

Joost: the P2P TV

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

Enough of Youtube… Discover Zudeo

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
