De l’humour noir

Saturday, February 11th, 2006

Le capitaine à son équipage :
- Les amis, nous sommes naufragés, perdus. Il n’y a aucun moyen d’éviter l’iceberg. Y a-t-il un pieux parmi vous ?
- Oui, je suis un pieux et je prierai pour vous tous.
- Très bien, vous pouvez prier, nous on va prendre les canoë de sauvetage : il manquait une […]

Subdomain fixed

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

I fixed the subdomain issue: All the URL that used to start by http://fedora-tn.org/swobodin will be automatically redirected to http://swobodin.fedora-tn.org, no change for remaining string.
Please update your bookmark if any.
Code for .htaccess

Yet, I should not create a directory called “swobodin” or I will get a 500 error code.
Next step, learn RewriteRule […]

The Ballad of Serenity

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

 
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t […]

Journal de la femme d’un programmeur

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

Pouvez-vous être plus geek que Sergueï ?
Voici quelques extraits :
 
Mais il s’est avéré étranger, car il nous salua avec les mots “Hi, people !”. Et alors je compris que Sergueï parlait anglais couramment, parce qu’il discuta facilement avec cet étranger pendant au moins cinq minutes. Ils parlaient d’un “rules” quelconque qui était “complètement cool” […]

One night in the life of Swobodin ….

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

Yesterday was the Great Backup Day. I have recently bought a DVD burner, and had to buy it, because the space remaining on each partition was some megabytes; I wonder how I could survive! The good thing is that I learnt how to burn DVD’s without having to make an ISO image, the whole […]

قال المتنبي - 1

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

الخيل والليل والبيداء تعرفني        والسيف والرمح والقرطاس والقلم
إن كان سركم ما قال حاسدنا        فـما لجــرح إذا أرضاكـم ألــم
 
على قدر أهل العزم تأتي العزائم        وتأتي على قدر الكرام المكارم
وتعظم في عين الصغير صغارها        وتصغر في عين العظيم العظائم
 
كل حلم أتى بغير اقتدار        حجة لاجئ إليها اللئام
من يهن يسهل الهوان عليه        […]

Internet White Screen of Death

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

We all know about the Windows’ Blue Screen of Death (See below).
And here’s the Internet White Screen of Death!!!

It’s strange, I’m using Firefox on Ubuntu; I have no French version of any program; however, this page often appears. I asked some friends from Spain, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Poland, Canada, … whether they have the similar […]

 Trevor is a young boy, who, following his Teacher Simonet’s (Kevin Spacey) suggestion, wants to change the world.
He created an idea that consists of helping 3 persons; each person has to “pay it forward” and help 3 other persons ans so on. He helped a homeless, his professor and a friend; and soon, people […]

Magic 45

Monday, February 6th, 2006

You may sometimes find mathematical curiosities.
Here’s a nice operation that a friend told me about:
45 + 45 = 45
I will prove it:
45 is equal to 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9
Thus:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
+ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
———————-
= 2 4 6 9 1 3 5 […]

Tunisian Wikipeople wanted

Saturday, February 4th, 2006

Yesterday I had a talk with Kassus, and he presented his Tunisian Wikimedia project. This will start on the Net, then it’s supposed to become “real”, and may be later it will get an official association status.
I liked the idea, but I don’t agree with Kassus on something: he told me “We have time”, […]

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

One good thing about music,
Well, it helps you feel no pain.
So hit me with music;
Hit me with music now.

Bare Churchill

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

In 1946, Winston Churchill traveled to Fulton, Missouri, to deliver a speech and to be present at the dedication of a bust in his honor. After his speech, Churchill was approached by a rather attractive and well-endowed woman. “Mr. Churchill,” she declared, “I traveled over a hundred miles this morning for the unveiling of […]
