GTG 0.3

Submitted by lefred on Tue, 11/13/2012 - 23:06

Getting Things GNOME! has been released on November 6th but I was able to test it only tonight ;-)

So far, I'm very pleased by this release and to be honest this seems to be the first time synchronization with Remember the Milk is working (I used it on my n900 and I plan to use it know on my android.... but I need to wait 22h before next sync)

I've also installed the integration with gnome-shell very quickly and it seems awesome !

The development team as done a very nice job...

If you plan to test it, I've packaged this release for Fedora 17.

new professional perspective

Submitted by lefred on Sat, 04/30/2011 - 15:23

For nearly 4 years, I invested myself in the growth of Inuits.

At the beginning we were 5 to believe in this project and now,
4 years afterwards, Inuits has become the Belgian reference in the world
of open-source consultancy companies.

We started in Flanders, then in Wallonia with Esquimaux and now in
the Netherlands with Eskimo (and I think it won't stop there).

Having the feeling of the achieved duty, I had opportunity of working
for a company which, for me, represents most the open-source point
of views, of technical excellence and the opportunity to spend more time with my family.

I was honored when Percona showed interest in me and I thus decided
for that new challenge! -- thanks to all my friends/former
colleagues/collaborators who played the role of references ;-) --

I whish good luck to all my colleagues of Inuits/Esquimaux,
I appreciate them very much. They can always count on me if
they need help and I hope to see them all at Fosdem and other
free software or devops conferences !!

I'm also always available for a drink or for sushi's :-)

I also really appreciated the 10 years collaboration in open-source
I shared with Kris Buytaert (sdog)

June 16th will be my first day in my new position !

Percona here I come ;-)

My new phone

Submitted by lefred on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 08:53

I'm very happy to present you my new phone :

I was hesitating between an iphone, an android or an openmoko... but the first two were not following the standards I was expecting, the last one was not stable enough.

This one is compatible with all the software I use every day and follows real standards !!

I can sync now !

My knee

Submitted by lefred on Thu, 06/05/2008 - 16:09

My knee is the culprit of my absence on the Net (irc, jabber, blog, comments) these days.

I underwent a rebuilding (transplant) of the former cross ligament :-(

So I'll not be active on the Net still for a while...

New blog

Submitted by lefred on Tue, 12/04/2007 - 19:21

Hello as you can see, I'm moving my old websites, I'm "consolidating" my old plain html and my blog in dotclear to drupal.

But I don't have a lot of time, the migration would take some time...

I'm a Fonero

Submitted by lefred on Wed, 06/27/2007 - 21:21

and even more a free fonero...

I finally found time to hack my La Fonera (www.fon.com), of course I don't want/plan to replace the firmware of my La Fonera, it would be an injustice to install a relgular OpenWRT firmware on it, I had to do it because I'd modify the dns search of the lan and the dns provided by the dhcp from this small box.

Shame on Novell !

Submitted by lefred on Mon, 12/04/2006 - 23:14

Shame on Novell that help M$ to deploy its non-iso standard proprietary file format ! I can't believe that Novell has its own fork of OOorg to support M$ !

Back to my blog

Submitted by lefred on Wed, 06/07/2006 - 09:32

As I received too much spam as comment into my blog, I decided to remove that feature and I decided also to "blog back". Something I would like to share with all the rock'n'roll fans around is the podcasting(1) of very interesting emission of Classic 21.

I advise the "Making Of", the "Journal du Rock" and "Classic 21 Rocks". To read those podcast I use iPodder(2).
