Here is a little script I wrote and I though ought to be shared. I use it to upload static files like images, css and javascript so that they can be served by Amazon S3 instead of the main application server (like Google App Engine). It’s written in Python and does interesting things like compressing […]
With all the talks and posts and whatnot about privacy on the Internet it’s easy for anyone to turn into a privacy control freak. And I really was starting to freak out myself. After all, a good bunch of my own life is on the Net: Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn, this blog, all the Google […]
Dans un monde chaque jour un peu plus numérisé n’oublions pas que ce sont toujours les même vieux trucs qui fonctionnent: si vis pacem, para bellum! !!Attention!! Ce billet est long et ennuyeux… Ceux qui me suivent sur Twitter ou Facebook se souviendront qu’en novembre dernier (le vendredi 13 exactement) mon appartement avait été cambriolé […]
This is something to hear and talk about it but this is something totally different to experience it, it’s thrilling, even on modest scales. Since my LibraryThing application for Facebook is out it has clearly had a viral growth curve. So far there are only 435 users and every week I am looking for an […]
As this year in coming to an end I though I should do a post-mortem, like at the end of a project, to see what went well and what did not. I left the office I was renting downtown and started working from home: It was a good move from work perspective, being alone at […]
For those of you who were at the Lift conference 2008 you might remember of Fontself. Franz Hoffman and Marc Escher, the two founders of the company, were there to offer everyone the opportunity to fill in a grid with their own hand writing, scan it, and use it on the Lift website. Today, the […]
Last week Google announced Google Sidewiki, a new service that enables anyone to comment on any page. There has been a lot of comments already about Sidewiki but the thing that instantly stroke me is the fact that there’s no easy way to keep up with what others are saying about your own pages. So […]
Recently I had to setup a performance testing infrastructure for one of my client. The goal was to put their web application under heavy load to prove it was able to scale properly and do some capacity planning. I chose Apache JMeter to generate the load, created a few test plans and started to nudge […]
@shvi asked me for this code over Twitter, I though it would a good idea to share it here. The following code is used to post two different fields, a simple text data named “somedata” and a file named “somefile”. Hope it helps :)

Samedi dernier, ma camarade Stephanie Booth a publié un nouvel article sur son blog, climbtothestars.org, intitulé “Pirater n’est pas voler, en sept mythes”. Le principal déclencheur de l’écriture de ce billet semble avoir été son agacement concernant les campagnes de criminalisation des personnes téléchargeant illégalement des oeuvres protégées, Hadopi et l’affaire Logistep en étant les […]
