I’ve just commited Trac 0.9 to CVS. Since 0.9_beta2, I’ve added a hard dependency on app-text/pytextile, a Python version of Dean Allen’s Human Text Generator. This way, the textile word processor can be used in wiki pages. The downside is that I had to remove ~amd64, ~ppc and ~sparc keywords from the Trac ebuild because […]

My faithful gateway is now up and running, as I received an Asus A7V600-X motherboard yesterday evening. Sure, this isn’t the most powerful motherboard out of the market, but it is cheap (45€) and, above all, it is nearly the only remaining Asus or Abit Socket A motherboard in the online shops. However, I have […]

By trying to remove the dying northbrigde chipset cooler of my motherboard and replace it by a Zalman fanless northbridge cooler, I cut two or three tracks around the hole. F*ck. So I don’t have any Internet access at home until I get a new motherboard.

Yesterday night I commited Trac 0.9_beta2 to CVS. This ebuild introduce the new 0.9 Trac series (see the exciting ChangeLog), and makes use of new USE flags to better handle package dependencies. You can now choose between enscript, silvercity, both (but you have to choose one per project) or none for syntax highlighting support. […]

I think I’ll stop bumping dju-sources ebuilds as I don’t use them anymore. Indeed, inotify has been included into mainline since 2.6.13, as well as the ALPS touchpad driver some time before. And I really can do without vesafb-tng, that’s why I have returned to the holy -ck patchset.
I also had strange NFS issues while […]

I bougth them two weeks ago, and now I can say I’m rather happy with. For the price (370€, and yes I might have found cheaper on some German website), the sound really rocks. The spectrum is almost flat, excepted a little drop in the mediums. And the dynamic is amazing! Too bad it isn’t […]

Being bored of my previous shit, I bought a wonderful Nokia 6021 mobile phone two weeks ago. Wow, it really rocks !!!11, and perfectly fits to my needs. No useless things like radio, poor VGA camera or support for dumb AAC files. Rock solid, 88g light and rather good-looking. Heavily designed for connectivity (email & […]

Hi peep! Weeee \o/ I’m back home at last! Paris was great, but I’m rather pleased to see my housemates again.
Today, I spent some time to investigate why mod_rewrite didn’t work with my OVH account subdomain. Hopefully, I found rather quickly that it was a bug in their shitty mod_rewrite hack. Physical htdocs directory for […]

Cool, I really have to try the new Gentoo Linux Installer, which has just been released as 0.1. It has a dialog frontend for remote installations, as well as a graphical (GTK2) frontend. They both look great! Good work guys!
GLI makes our distribution a little more accessible to new Linux users, and this is a […]
