Which Microblogging client to use ?

I have tested 3 Twitter clients to use on my gnome desktop:

- Gwibber (gwibber-1.2.0-3.349bzr.fc12.noarch)
- Pino (pino-0.2.6-1.fc12.x86_64)
- Turpial (turpial-1.0-b1.fc12.noarch)

I've found Gwibber very nice, doing what I need but it's very slow and sometimes freezes (becomes dark). It has also facebook support (nice to see the status updates of your friends).

Pino is my favorite one for the moment, it's fast, doesn't support facebook (yet?).
Something I don't like is that you have to switch between the accounts (twitter and identi.ca) which is annoying.

Turpial is not was I really wanted, it doesn't fit really in the desktop and it's only in Spanish.

I hope that Pino will keep improving and stay fast as now.

Update !

I've just tested Gwibber 2 (gwibber-2.30.0.1-1.fc12.noarch) and it has very nice features: possibility to see all the messages or only by account, possibility also to see images (updated in facebook for example). I will for sure test it and discover it a bit longer, nice improvements !

I’ll be @ LOAD

Sunday 11th April, I will be at LOAD to talk about the daily management of huge (and ugly) tables in MySQL.

It's a reviewed talk of my previous FOSDEM session. I just finished the review of the slides.

I hope to see you there :-)

openERP spec files

As requested by Pieter, here are the spec files I used to create the openERP rpms for fedora and centos.

As some packages have different names or different user management commands, I need two different spec files for same pakages in each distro.

(only the client can be the same)

I wait for your feedback

Drupal updated !

I was very late to update my own site ! Yesterday I was still running drupal 5.3 !! (shame on me).

Now the site is updated and runs the latest version of drupal 6.x

I'm very happy with this upgrade and I took the opportunity to change the theme; this time I use a nice (to my opinion) theme provided by drupal : fervens

Fosdem 2k10

I'll be at Fosdem 2k10 !

You could meet me at the beer event of Friday, I'll also be at the Devops dinner, everybody interested in the Devops talk can join (you can still choose for the place here)
