DAViCal is an implementation of the CALDAV standard. It’s open source, developed by Andrew McMillan, and quite simple to install if you know a few bits of Apache configuration. I got it working with two iCal instances and 2 iPhones (wife and me), with a few shared calendars for family and kids stuff.
In version 0.9.8, Andrew has re-implemented a new user and role system making administration simpler. If you look for a way to delete a calendar, don’t search in the web GUI, it’s not there yet. But curl does the job well : Continue Reading »

If you have a Cisco device with an extremely long interface description, NMS platforms and tools (like snmpget and snmpwalk) only shows the first 64 bytes of the ifAlias field.
To lift this limitation, use this command :
snmp ifmib ifalias long
The limit is then rised to the MIB maximum for DisplayString (255 bytes). The command is supported from IOS 12.2(2)T / 12.2(28)SB.

Après la main heureuse de Thierry Henry, un journaliste interroge un spécialiste du comportement ce matin à la RSR. Sa réponse : si le foot était un sport, on rejouerait le match. Le sport étant un business, on peut comparer Thierry Henry à la version réussie de Jerôme Kerviel.
C’est après midi, une nouvelle affaire est dénoncée . Le scandale des paris truqués sur des matches de football dans neuf pays européens concerne environ 200 rencontres, dont 3 de Ligue des champions et 12 d’Europa League, ont annoncé vendredi les enquêteurs. Les gains réalisés par les parieurs se chiffreraient en millions d’euros, ont ajouté les enquêteurs.
Et dans nos campagnes, combien coûte le football aux communautés ? En stades à construire et entretenir, aux équipes de professionnels à financer par des taxes cachées sur les clients des entrepreneurs mécènes, en coûts sur les opérations du genoux reportées sur les assurés non-footeux ?
Si un journaliste a un jour le courage d’enquêter et de publier un article “les coûts cachés du football”, il faudra d’abord qu’il se prépare une identité et un domicile de rechange à l’autre bout du globe.
I bought this label printer based on the OS X and Linux support. Respect to Brother for their multi-platform drivers, other manufacturers ignore anything beside Window$. The printer comes with a cool software called P-touch Editor.
I downloaded the software online, but when using the version for OS X 10.5.x (Leopard), it always crashed with this message in the crash monitor :

The solution was to use the older driver, labeled 10.3.9 to 10.4.x. It’s now working perfectly. Brother support didn’t help much with my issue, but I have seen they provide a version for Snow Leopard, so at least I know I can upgrade and get my labels done.

The MacBook Pro 15″ is nice, but to be perfect, it would need :
- a higher resolution screen. 1440×900 is too low, 1600×1050 would do better. And antiglare please. I’m buying a laptop, not a TV set.
- 3 or 4 USB ports, not 2.
- a SSD (say 128 Gb) and a hard-disc (500 Gb).
The 17″ fits the bill for the screen and the USB ports, but I want a laptop, not an anchor. For the double disc, I will have to hack it myself with one of these disc-in-DVD-slot kits. My plan was to buy about end of this year, but I might want a bit to see if these aluminium thingies will evolve.
Due to some incompatibilities with software I really need (GnuPG support in Mail), I may have to wait for Snow Leopard as well.

Crisis or not, I don’t care, sailing is too much fun to care about this Swine Flu / Financial crisis / Tamiflu business holdup. My A-Cat Flyer 2005 is sold, and I already got the next one. One mast on top of this barebone and let me fly !
