pbm install 4.3 Packard Bell EasyNote

2008-05-05 Thread xavier brinon
Hello to all,
The install of the 4.3 is quite difficult in comparison to the 4.2 (both
dmesg are attached to the mail)
the wifi is not properly recognised
The boot is processed completely 50% of the times. I mean each time I have
the ddb prompt, I just reboot (boot reboot)
(see the dmesgko4.3 and the dmesgok4.3) and that second time it completes
I've attached also the trace and ps.

I reinstalled the 4.2 and all works fine,
4.3 stable is booting improperly half the time
and 4.3 -current also.

I stil can reboot my computer two times, and keep the ethernet cable instead
of my wifi,  but any improvement is welcome

If anyone can help, thanks in advance.

google team and the DIY way of life

2007-11-10 Thread xavier brinon
from the Official Google Blog

Posted by Reza Behforooz, Software Engineer

In my first month at Google, I complained to a friend on the Gmail
team about a couple of small things that I disliked about Gmail. I
expected him to point me to the bug database. But he told me to fix it
myself, pointing me to a document on how to bring up the Gmail
development environment on my workstation. The next day my code was
reviewed by Gmail engineers, and then I submitted it. A week later, my
change was live. I was amazed by the freedom to work across teams, the
ability to check in code to another project, the trust in engineers to
work on the right thing, and the excitement and speed of getting
things done for our users. Engineers across our offices (and across
projects) have access to the same code; I didn't have to ask for
anyone's permission to work on this.

I know, it's obvious that it's works if you share your code and let
others submit their diffs.
Just a reminder... See Google ? they shut up and code !

I'm working for a French ISP where the dev team seems to live in a

I tried 3 times to code my own tools, sharing it with collegues. I've
been told to quickly remove them, even if the tools helped a lot my
collegues and myself.
It's a shame, they didn't look at it and we were all back to the old tools.

It's just for me to show that sharing code inside a company and having
the ability to work with it is not available for everyone.

It's not what they do, it's the way they work that is important for me here.
I don't know how your company deals with that kind of thing, mine just don't.

you must read that post like : hey, what you do here is great ! Even
big companies know that !
I can post it in every open source community list, but i'm just an openBSD fan.

flamewars : 9 Tips for Dealing with Idiots on the Internet

2008-01-09 Thread xavier brinon
Seems to be a must read




Sent to you by Xavier Brinon via Google Reader:



Online Survival Guide: 9 Tips for Dealing with Idiots on the Internet
via Internet Duct Tape by engtech on 09/01/08






My first experience with online communication was bulletin board
systems in the early 90s. The more things change, the more they stay
the same. The experience of running a blog is almost exactly the same
as it was running a BBS 15 years ago. The only difference is the sheer
number of channels available for communication.

Where there was once up to 100 to 200 local BBSes there are now so
many online forums for communication that it might as well be
infinite., New forums for communication are being created all the
time. Mainstream sites like the New York Times let you comment on
articles, and each person has their own discussion forum thanks to
sites like Facebook and MySpace.


When I was involved in the BBS/IRC scene as a teenager I was
surrounded by flame wars; one-upmanship was part of the attraction. I
thought it was because of the immaturity of the participants, but now
I think it is a natural offshoot of digital communication. We lose all
the visual and auditory cues that are a normal part of human dialog
and instead focus on words that can be easy to misinterpret
(especially if looking for a reason to fight). quoting myself

Winter is one of the worst for flame wars because environmental
conditions make people more irritable and more likely to spend more
time online. Here are some tips for navigating online discussions from
someone who has been participating and managing public forums for over
15 years.
Tips for Administrators
Tip #1: Disemvowel


From Wikipedia: In the fields of Internet discussion and forum
moderation, disemvoweling is the removal of vowels from text either as
a method of self-censorship, or as a technique by forum moderators to
censor Internet trolling and other unwanted posting. When used by a
forum moderator, the net effect of disemvowelling text is to render it
illegible or legible only through significant cognitive effort.

Xeni Jardin, co-editor of Boing Boing says of the practice, the
dialogue stays, but the misanthrope looks ridiculous, and the
emotional sting is neutralized.

This original sentence:

In the fields of Internet discussion and forum moderation,
disemvoweling (also spelled disemvowelling) is the removal of vowels
from text.

would be disemvowelled to look like this:

n th flds f ntrnt dscssn nd frm mdrtn, Dsmvwlng (ls splld dsmvwllng) s
th rmvl f vwls frm txt.

You can disemvowel any text using this tool. There is also a Firefox
extension that lets you disemvowel comments if you're a WordPress
administrator. The same guy has a Firefox extension for handling
religious trolls.
Tip #2: Temporarily disable comments for that post

This works well if you've been linked to from another site and it's
bringing a lot of tolls (IE: Digg, Slashdot). You can turn the
comments on after a day or two without having to wade through the 100+
comments telling you how much of an idiot you are because they don't
agree with some minor minutiae of your argument.
Tip #3: Take the discussion to email

Nothing kills a flame war like removing the audience.


Quoting myself: There is a different between scrawling messages on a
public site and having a one on one conversation. The flame wars that
are routine on some sites rarely exist in personal email. People stop
being disembodied words and ideas and you remember that there is a
person behind all of that typing.

Comment Ninja is a handy Firefox extension for WordPress blog
administrators that makes it easy to respond to commenters on your
blog by email.
Tip #4: Never post personal information

Because you are an administrator, you have access to a commenters
email address and their IP address. This information is usually enough
to find out anything else you want to about who they are. (IE: put
their email address into Facebook to find their real name, use their
IP address to find out where they work)

It can be tempting to deal with a troll by removing their anonymity,
but making it personal can change a one time nuisance into someone
with a grudge that won't go away.
Tips for Anyone
Tip #5: Let it stew

If something really gets your goat, then sit on it. Come back and
re-read what bothered you later on and you may find that you were
reading between the lines and interpreting an emotional undertone that
isn't there. The human mind is great at adding missing context, but it
can also trick you into reading what you want to believe.

Revisiting something that filled you with rage days latter can leave
you scratching your head trying to find what it was that pulled your
chain.
Tip #6: Leave it where you found it

As I said earlier, it is ridiculously easy to collect personal
identifying information about someone and find other parts of their
online identity. Other than bringing a public argument to a private
means of communication, you
