In addition to sdog's post, I add some information how to use and print a HP PSC1417 printer/scanner on Linux.
As I'm a Gentoo Lover, I'll explain how to make this very cheap and nice printer working on Linux.
first of all we need to install hplip :
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" USE="ppds" emerge -pv hplip
After we start it and we restart cups (of course we can start it at boot with rc-update)
Wow... what a wonderful product !
Being tired of using gq that segfault every 2 times... I was searching for a good solution to retrieve and modify data from an openldap directory. (with an AD gq crashes even every time !) :(
And I found THE product I was looking for : ldapvi !!
Being a vi lover, I was very happy to find the way to modify data from an ldap directory with vi commands !

After a chat with a colleague trying to code in python because he wanted to implement some Jabber application I decided to search some PHP solution.

Have fun with it ;-)

Nice Python project to watch free TV on the Net.
With this tool http://televidilo.bouil.org/ you can watch web streams even on fullscreen. I didn't try it yet on my own machine (I have a tv card), but I'll try it on my laptop.
Even if Belgium will not participate to the Mundial... Thanks to this program we'd maybe see some games at work if there are no firewall troubles ;-)
Just some nice example to show how to create an XML output from an object. And also create an object from an XML source.

Hello dear blog,
I was looking for a program to be able to rename mp3 or ogg files.
I found a nice client to MusicBrainz, it's in QT : QMBTagger
This program is also able to fill the tags. It uses some checksum and music analysis to find the good song in a huge database! Since I discovered it, I can't live without ;-)
It seems that juk also has the same feature... I will test it later.
Since today, I use a new project to manage my dvd's, divx, etc...
This program has many nice features like many imports and exports formats, use of many different web services in different languages.
Every one remembers "our house" or "one step beyond" !! Yes, indeed, those songs were from kings of ska : Madness.
