It's been a long time since I wrote on this blog. I recently attended a talk with Phil Zimmerman recently and it was the opportunity to reuse pgp/gpg and I thought it was a good idea to talk about it. Why I often had the questions why I would need to use strong encryption, especially since it used …

What could go wrong ?
In the list of daily WTF, I stumbled upon this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF9bbY3-lQU Someone backflipping over a speeding formula. That's impressive. Kinda dumb & useless as well.
Music and mood
I always listen to music, but most of the time I don't really care or pay attention. I tend to use quite random playlist and mostly let them run. Or at least, this what I thought until I recently checked. What I discovered surprised me. Most people say their mood will be influenced by the …
Je regarde youtube
Pour changer, voilà un article en français. J'ai longuement hésité à le faire, puis je me suis lancé. Avec 10 ans de retard, je découvre youtube. J'ai un peu honte, je travaille dans la technologie, j'ai travaillé dans l'industrie des médias et c'est seulement maintenant que je m'intérèsse à ce nouveau média. Pour moi, youtube, …
Chromasquad
I've recently had to fly oversea (yesterday) and this is usually for me the opportunity to try new things: can't really sleep, in-flight entertainment is usually crappy, so here I go.

I managed to evolve on my own and found that internet is a wonderful place where lots of people share lots of interesting stuff. I was pretty happy with that situation : look for a blog post or an instructable, …
Celtic knots
Technical wednesday, I'm back. One of my (new) hobby to kill a few minutes is to draw celtic knot. I've already been into this ~10 years ago and it feels good to do it again. For those who don't know, a celtic knot is a twisted loop. The fun part: there is some serious theory …

I took the goodreads challenge this year and aimed at 26 books. I aimed higher last year and failed and wanted to have a reachable goal. It's currently begin of september and I got the notification that I had completed it: https://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/2424656 While reading 26 books in itself is not much of a challenge, it allows …
keyboard vs skill
I've been using a computer keyboard for the best of the previous 30 years. However, I never properly learnt to type and I'm still hammering my keyboard with mosrly 2 to 4 fingers. Of course, I have a bad wordage per minute and my error rate is touching the skies.I have tried various kind of …
