Upcoming is going away :(
Very interesting read at http://waxy.org/2013/04/the_death_of_upcomingorg/. I’ve loved upcoming since the day I discovered it in 2008 via twitter. Since then I’ve been an avid user. I kind of stopped using it and haven’t really replaced it - eg I don’t use meetup so much, nor lanyrd , nor facebook - I use them but that’s 3 services (I also have last.fm - but...

Habiter du coté de Toulouse
Pour tout un tas de raisons assez personnelles j’envisage de quitter les Pays-Bas et de revenir vivre en France. J’ai vraiment pas envie d’habiter en région parisienne et me coltiner 2 heures de transports par jour pour me rendre au travail. Le centralisme français rend Paris très attractifs. Donc il faut s’en éloigner le plus possible. Toulouse me semble un bon choix (mais...

Thunderbird 21.0b is out
And we are approaching our next major release (eg 24) - to give developers time to fix and find issues the project definitively needs more people using the beta version. If you want to give a hand just using it helps (make sure to send crash reports, send perf data if you feel like it). If anything looks wrong bugzilla is your friend for making bug reports.

Mozilla is 15 here is my complete #webstory
Back in 1991, my dad replaced the aging Apple ][ with a brand and shiny new Macintosh LC. I had started hacking disks and memory using the nice call -151 on the Apple IIe - I was a geek and hooked.
Before the LC, the way I would acquire new software would be through friends and Dad , he’d bring new cracked games (CCB and others thank you). One day dad came back with a Mac version of Dark...

Bugzilla Dashboard is awesome
If you haven’t tried that new feature in bugzilla do. The url looks like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=mydashboard.html and you need to be logged in.
Thanks to the dashboard I’ve cleaned up a bunch of old cruffy bugs last week. Send a few emails around to clean more.
If you use bugzilla and the feature is available try it - you won’t be able to do without-it. It has...

Google reader is going away time to switch to...
So it seems google will be shutting down one more free service, this time it’s the rss feed reader and the Caldv access to google calendars. While closing a free service that they probably couldn’t monetize is something I don’t mind much (also I wasn’t a big user of reader). it’s not the first time a free nice service closes (eg remember delicious ?).

Comment faire en sorte qu'ipv6 progresse
Je suis passé en ipv6 l’année dernière un peut après le lancement du ipv6day en juin. J’ai mis mon serveur en ipv6, et depuis je tente d’obtenir ipv6 sur tous les services que j’utilise en ligne. Donc ticket de support, twitts etc … sans grand succès. Le problème majeur d’ipv6 aujourd’hui est un problème de poule et d’œuf. Si j’embête mon FAI...

Ma carte de débit fait un crédit à Carrefour :( ?

Why I became a flickr user in 2006
Back in 2006 I had a flickr account , tried to use it and uploaded shots of a sword :
At the same time I was bloging a lot and was having fun managing my own server. So of course I ended up having Gallery installed and started using it. Soon I had to make a choice :
Maintain software
Make backups
Write extensions for maps etc …

Giving my pictures to a provider

Why playing with bugzilla on bugzilla.mozilla.org...
Right now I’m pretty sure a Teacher in a Tech school is teaching it’s student something on filling bugs and on using bugzilla, mozilla’s bug reporting system. At some point in the lesson they are handed a paper with a workshop instructions.
How do I know that ? Well I follow a number of things in bugzilla and we get :

Two days ago I explained on diverse mailing list what the plans for testing Thunderbird 17 would be. In that email I promised to give the number of participants. Right now, at this moment, the number is 17. Which is not low low, but which could get higher. We really need more people with different configurations to give it a try and give us a hand in order to have a decent amount of coverage. Send...

My mozcamp warsaw 2012 recap
This year I was fortunate enough to attend another mozcamp. This one was very special to my heart as before the mozcamp, we had a Thunderbird submit which included the current paid staff and a good number of contributors (and yes I didn’t take a group picture, so kick my b…). The submit had plenty of good discussions about how Thunderbird will go on past 17.0.

So I’ve been looking at other options - but haven’t found something that would work for what I do with pictures (eg I don’t want to make money - just want to know when people like my pictures and want to make my pictures discoverable). Being discoverable is an important point for...

Thunderbird's future from the inside
I’m reading the reactions on what mozilla just announced about the future of Thunderbird, on twitter. Most people are reading what we are saying as Thunderbird just died and was axed. I’ve replied to a few but I thought that a longer reply would explain more by a lengthy post than a bunch of 140 char tweets.

Humor with carpenters
2 carpenters are building a fence. The senior guy is taking a break, when he notices the younger guy taking a nail out of the box, looking at it, and throwing it over his shoulder. He takes the next nail out, looks at it, and hammers it in. Next one gets hammered in. The one after that gets thrown over his shoulder. Finally, he goes over and asks him, “What the hell are you doing, throwing...
