I've built an elliptical table to replace the current one which was a bit wonky, hard to clean up and too dark in my taste. The goal was to have as much room as previously for our five person meals, with an extension for when we have a number of guests - which is...| colin@colino.net
I made a second RuneAudio player this weekend.. The main difference, apart from the physical box, is power management. On my first setup, toggling the switch abruptly cuts power to the Raspberry, which can cause filesystem corruptions on the MicroSD card (and experience shows, in just ten days, that the MPD database sometimes ends...| colin@colino.net

This week-end I remembered that when I got my new phone, it counted my steps on its own, and I looked up why. I discovered that there's a Google Play Service that enables developers to get the user's activity (walking, running, cycling etc) and I decided to try to code my first Android app: Stravomatic....| colin@colino.net
After having seen the latest Star Wars movie, I, like numerous other geeks, fell in awe with the BB-8 droid, and, like numerous other geeks, I wanted to try and build one. So, I started by getting a 300mm plastic ball and another of 180mm diameter (which was more of a 160mm ball according to...| colin@colino.net
Here's how to disassemble the fuser on an HP LaserJet P3005 printer, and replace the gear kit (which is a part that fails often, reference CB414-67923). First remove the sliding plastic part at the back of the printer, then remove these two screws : Then remove the big plastic panel, bottom first so it disengages...| colin@colino.net
A few monthes ago, a user made us a €5 donation for Claws Mail's Windows version. Then asked me over email and Facebook friend request for support on "error messages that pop is starting up prior to sm something da da da" (actual quote). I just replied that this seemed like he'd need to...| colin@colino.net
First of all, happy new year to everybody ! I'd like to talk a bit about the donations one can make to the Claws Mail project which I'm part of since approximately 12 years now, and tell a tale of something that luckily happened only once. There are three kinds of donations possible for the Claws...| colin@colino.net
After testing various complicated solutions to embed a QR Code into iReport Jasper reports, the easiest way I've found is this: 1) Put ZXing's Core and JavaSE jars in the classpath (using Tools/Options/Classpath if compiling locally, or the classpath property if using Ant and net.sf.jasperreports.ant.JRAntCompileTask) ZXing Core jar ZXing JavaSE jar 2) Add an image...| colin@colino.net
(English version - see also French version) ESA's ATV-4 Albert Einstein was successfully launched yesterday and is now orbiting Earth for nine days prior to its automated rendez-vous with the International Space Station.

I prepared, as a surprise for my space-fan child Paul, a T-shirt featuring the ISS - International Space Station. While I was at it, I took a bit more time and decided to make more, maybe some people will like it. So there are various ISS T-shirts, some Soyuz-based T-shirts, and some gadgets. I made...| colin@colino.net
Finally, after adding four packages and a huge build-fix patch, I've been able to build Webkit inside our cross-building infrastructure. That made Fancy buildable and allows for a better, more stable HTML rendering than with the old Gtkhtml2Viewer plugin. You can download and test it there: claws-mail-3.9.0cvs125pkg35.exe. Don't forget to unload GtkHTML2 and load Fancy...| colin@colino.net
It's been a long time since I didn't post any geek stuff here, so here we go. At last! I've recently installed Stellarium, which is a great planetarium software, helping a lot to figure out what's above our heads at a given time, what will be, or what has been, which is great to learn...| colin@colino.net
It seems I got somehow overwhelmed with real life these last days, months or even years... I just realized I didn't even mention here that my second son, Gaspard, is born on June 1st, 2011 ! So, as a matter of fact, Gaspard's born on June 1st, 2011 :) He was a healthy boy, 52.5 centimeters long...| colin@colino.net

Since a few years, our website, www.claws-mail.org, has been hosted by the nice people of Develog. Our CVS and mailing-lists were hosted on dotsrc.org, another bunch of nice guys offering hosting to free software projects since years. However, they're starting to lack time and manpower to continue providing hosting -- I guess they're, like us...| colin@colino.net
Now that we're in 2009, it's been a few years since we're more and more aware that energy is a valuable resource that should be spared. Where I work I'm handling a medium-sized datacenter of 160 servers, and they use approximately 28 kW of power. 28.000 watts, that represents 470 light bulbs, always on, burning...| colin@colino.net
Paul (my friend, not my son) said to me some time ago, "Still obsessed with smoking, I see ;-)". That made me realize that indeed, stopping smoking sometimes make me think more about it than I did when I smoked. I guess that's rather logical, I'm still in the long process of readjustment (of...| colin@colino.net
Some time before Christmas, I was looking for a nice gift to Clo and had a idea I found good: a good quality printed version of her blog, for the souvenir, would be quite unique and nice. Problem is that printing it would be really painful, with about 80 posts, I didn't want to do...| colin@colino.net
