» openSUSE FOSDEM 2007 Gallery

A few photos shot by openSUSE staff members at FOSDEM 2007 are finally online. All the pictures have names under it, quite useful to put some real faces on names ;) Amongst many others, my girlfriend Ingrid with my daughter Gaëlle, and me with Gaëlle.

» The TED effect

OMG... Ted managed to look as ridiculous as.. you know... that other guy... who screams and sweats when he gets on stage... that fat guy... ? OK, Ted isn't fat nor sweating but... Just look at this Novell Brainshare video and you'll know who I mean after a few seconds. At first I thought it was a good and funny parody but it seems it isn't. Gosh he even walks like him. [00:00] * yaloki shakes head Ted, you're not doing us any good. But hey, he prolly isn't even reading this.

» Working Democracyplayer RPMs for openSUSE

I was finally able to build working Democracy Player packages for openSUSE 10.2 (I tested it on 10.2 x86_64). Make sure to install >= 0.9.5.3 (the 0.9.2.2 doesn't work). Definitely one of the ugliest source tarballs around, lots of hard-coded paths to Python 2.4, /usr/lib, etc... But well, managed to patch all the crap and replace it with portable Python/shell code.
