New zoom lens

On February 1, 2017October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn Photography2 Comments

There are currently 2 topics I wanted to talk about, the first one is the situation in the US, the second one is photography. I feel there is enough depression and sadness around there to skip the first topic and focus on the second for now. And I'll soon be travelling to the states and …

joinindaily

On January 27, 2017October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn NewsLeave a comment

I've been following the #joinindaily tag on G+ for a while and I've decided to try to participate. The concept is simple: each day, a single theme is announced, you have the day to post (or not) a picture related to the theme. It's not a competition, mostly a just for fun event. I've done it …

from 2016 to 2017

On January 23, 2017 By Florent RevelutIn News1 Comment

So 2016 has come and gone, it's time for some post-mortem / retrospective and dive into the wonderful world of 2017. I must say that this post is the perfect example of what I should avoid as I started it roughly mid december and I realize that January is mostly gone and this is still …

LePin, Lego and Porsche

On December 18, 2016October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn News1 Comment

I've been a fan of Lego for ages and my only limiting factors are the place it takes and the cost. Being a car fan, I was pretty excited by the release of the ego 911 GT3RS (Lego 42056). However, this model was not stocked much and is overly expensive, probably to account for the Porsche …

Building a microscope

On December 16, 2016October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn HackingLeave a comment

I recently bought on aliexpress a powerful (and cheap) microscope. For 15 bucks however, the feature set is quite limited and it has no autofocus, meaning the body needs to be moved to put things in focus. As the official support has 2 ball joints, it's almost impossible to be accurate : when moving focus, …

Some random thoughts

On October 3, 2016October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn NewsLeave a comment

I realized I've been pretty idle and did not post over the last month. September is gone, and that blog stayed empty. I did not really do anything technical last month (I mostly blame work and laziness), but I have a few random and unorganized thoughts I wanted to post. I have finally seen the move …

g-watch crashlooping

On August 16, 2016 By Florent RevelutIn HackingLeave a comment

I have a LG G-watch (android smart watch, the square one). I'm not using it much and it mostly seats on my desk, uncharged. For some reason, I decided to give it another try and it could never start: just after boot, it would say that settings crashed, proposing to wait or to close. Tried …

Bruce reads (it’s funnier in French)

On August 10, 2016 By Florent RevelutIn NewsLeave a comment

I'm just back from vacation and beach is super boring, so I've had plenty of time for reading and I haven't posted in a long time. Redeemed: last book of the "House of Night" serie, as usual, lots of stuff is happening when a serie is finishing. Compared to some other, that one is fairly easy …

Box for GoPro batteries

On July 11, 2016October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn Hacking1 Comment

  I recently bought a GoPro and wanted to make a box to store the batteries. To be clear, my model is Hero 4 Silver and is using these (AHDBT-401) batteries. It's easy to find the electrical properties (3.8V DC, 1160mAh, 4.4Wh), not so easy to find the physical size. Here is a quick overview of the key …

pgp, keys, security, privacy

On June 22, 2016 By Florent RevelutIn NewsLeave a comment

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 …
