If you’ve seen the original ads, you’ll probably find this hilarious. Originally seen on Undercover . . . → Read More: Wassup The french legislature switched from windows to linux in July 2007. ZDnet ran an article a year later (in french) with several first hand accounts of the effects of the transition. The conclusion was that everything went well. Now, the German foreign ministry is in the process of migrating its 11 000 desktops to linux with about . . . → Read More: FOSS taking over the world Well, apologies are in order. First off, I must apologize for not having posted anything in a long while. Mostly, I was busy with a conference and just dropped the ball when I came back, but I also had some website problems, which leads me to my second set of apologies. My website was blocked with . . . → Read More: Six months music challenge, part 8: Undercover black man This one comes straight from my own town. Geneviève et Matthieu are a duo singing eclectic music. I’ve never been an incredibly great fan, a little too crazy for my taste.

This week’s (well last week’s) artist is Jonathan Coulton. I’ve actually known about Jonathan Coulton for quite a while, so this is a little bit of cheating, but I was keeping his site and music for a rainy . . . → Read More: 6 month challenge, part 3: Jonathan Coulton Didn’t ride much all week but I went out today for a 28 miles ride. (28.6 to be exact.) Same ride as last week, which I did in the other direction this time and I was back in 2:15 (plus stops), which is 10 minutes faster than last time.
