For sure you will think that I'm a bit crazy, but as I'll become father in some months (in April) I was already (a bit soon for sure) thinking about the difficulties to protect children on the Internet. Of course for web content, I'm able to setup a transparent proxy-cache (Squid) with squidgard etc... But for IM ? Do I have an alternative ?

Cambridge

We were placed in an old college, it was like Harry Potter but smaller.

But's a very nice city ! I enjoyed my stay there.

LinuxConf Europe 2007 in Cambridge

This a bit a late entry but I was so busy with holidays, new job and the announce of a future new GNU/Linux user (for april, see his/her blog).

So I was in Cambridge for the LinuxConf Europe 2007 from 1st to 5th September.

The conferences were very nice, the level of the technical talks was high and I appreciated it :-)
