After more than a month of frustrating access problems with free.fr, I’ve finally decided to move to wordpress.com:
http://bapoumba.wordpress.com/
It’s still under work, I’m still updating the links on the right panel (grr.. they are in the blogroll but do not show up) and fixing things here and there. But all is functional.

Depuis plus d’un mois, j’ai de nombreux problèmes d’accès à free.fr. C’est tellement frustrant que j’ai décidé de déménager sur wordpress.com:
http://bapoumba.wordpress.com/

« blogroll » mais n’aparaissent pas sur le blog) et arrange quelques trucs ici et là. Mais […]

I barely maintain a blog, I do […]

From PMs we exchanged and the Dev-Link thread he created, the idea is to come up with a universal WiFi installer, that will automatically detect and install wireless drivers for a variety of wireless cards.

All the word-number-picture games on UF have their own sub-forum now: Community Cafe Games. This will help not having the game threads cluttering the Cafe, and allow to have more fun going on.

Comme l’année passée, ce sera dans la Salle des Spectacles de Carpiquet, et sans aucun doute tout aussi sympa. Alors si vous passez en Normandie le samedi 29 septembre 2007 entre 9h00 et 18h00, réservez vos agendas. J’essaierai de ne pas manquer la démo robotique cette fois ^^ (l’année dernière, les problèmes de surchauffe de […]

I cannot code a single line. So I’m always amazed by certain (sometimes heated) discussions going on in the Programming Talk section on UF.
Here is a real fun thread: “Hello Ubuntu” in every programming language.
Enjoy and contribute, just for the fun of it!

I installed xfce4-cpufreq-plugin, xfce4-sensors-plugin and xfce4-weather-plugin with aptitude, they are in the Ubuntu repositories, some in universe. All the other items are in the […]
