Ubuntu news website mockups

10 January, 2009 (18:39) | Misc, Ubuntu | 23 comments

I’ve started working on […]

When did the fun go?

What is amazing around Ubuntu (and probably about others distros and FOSS projects as well) is that you work with passionate people. People are here because they have a crunch on the project. Hell, I’ve never been so productive while having fun.

I’m forwarding a blog entry in which Adobe ask for Linux beta testers for their AIR technology. If I have correctly understood, it is a Internet rich client technology using Flash and Flex. It’s currently available on Mac and Windows, and it is being ported to Linux.

Welcome back to the old days, and null pizzas

You remember the old days when it was the websites that were deciding what you should use? “Best viewed in IE 5.5 in 1024×768″, or even worse the ones that were refusing if you didn’t had the browser of their choice? Yeah I know, a few websites still have these restrictions, but usually it is […]

Moving to Paris

It’s the end of the holidays!
Since the end of my courses in Singapore in November, I traveled in Japan, came back to France in Vaugneray, near Lyon, to see my family, and entered a state of deep laziness (well, almost) before actually starting to work. And I just moved yesterday to Paris, a city I […]

Yay I did it!
The eGenting competition is a programming competition organized by the Genting group that takes place simultaneously in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Singapore. It’s eight hours of straight problem-solving, and the worse part of it? It is on paper. I gave it a try last september, and the results are just out : […]
