One day I'll go there

Found this site through geisha asobi blog. When I see those pictures, I've a so big desire to go there. Those are not the tourist catchy photos, but what I feel looking at them is some sense of nostalgia, for a country I don't know. Places in the country, old industrial buildings, faded houses...  […]

XMLRPC for mail delivery?

Caramail is a famous (at least here) free mail account hosting service. Today its mailer daemon sent me that: Command died with status 1: "/usr/sbin/mail.local". Command output: xmlrpc_client.c:185: assertion failed It's rather strange to involve an heavywight protocol for mail delivery.  […]

Thanks Anthony, thanks JavaLobby

The switch to a new home for FreeRoller is a relief. Especially for occasional bloggers like me who just want it to work when they have an immediate need to write.

After all, it was just a game

Georges W. Bush and his hawks (GWBAHH) gave yesterday their ultimatum. Colin Powell fought for disarmament at the UN, and it's not part of the ultimatum. GWBAHH never proved anything about weapon of mass destruction, it was just a rhetorical artifact. We know now they didn't need to. GWBAHH's  […]

Winamp plugin: LongPlayer

I discovered today LongPlayer, a standalone application, pluggable with Winamp and XMMS. This application monitors what you are listening to, allows you to rate the music, and to build custom playlists. Since it records what you are listening to and when, LongPlayer is able to feed Winamp or XMMS  […]
