I am looking for programmers living in or near
Le Havre, France
.
I am eager to start a programming user group down here, with technical presentations, meetups, and hum, beers.
If you are interested, please contact me.
Notes
Bad surprise this morning:
trying to look for all the open bugs of GMF is just not possible apparently.
If you try to work around the limitation by searching for a space ” “, it results into an error:
You may not search, or create saved searches, without any search terms.
The help links look broken: I created the bug 205151 for that.
As for the listing of all open bugs, any workaround or fix is welcome.
So my latest cool app is asking Subversion the latest changes over the repository.
It pretty much does this:
svn log #{your_url} --limit #{when_you_d_like_to_stop}
Then, for every revision, it runs a diff:
svn diff #{rev1}:#{rev2}
After playing around for some time with all those commands, my advice is to run svn2rss with Subversion 1.4, as my tests were taking more than 2 minutes to complete.
There is an interesting discussion going on the lift mailing list.
The principal maintainer, David Pollak, doesn’t want to abide by the FSF and add GPL or LGPL code to his code base.
Well, I kinda agree.
In terms of freedom, having to redistribute your source code when using one of those libraries is actually reducing your freedom.
Maybe the ultimate DRM ?
I really love Tumblr, and I love filling up my watchlog,
but it gets a bit messy when you have two Tumblr accounts: you never really know on which you are logged, and it becomes painful quickly.
So.. any firefox brilliant extension for that ? Or just a better bookmarklet from the guys ?
Apparently, Java is going to require some work on Apple, as this post puts it. On top of that, Leopard won’t run Eclipse as is.
What I like is that both articles are optimistic and just want to get past it.
eclipse -consoleLog
How could I live without that before ?
From The Wonsys blog:
So you can imagine when we started looking into Rails, it was developer’s Nirvana. We immediately realized it didn’t get in our way: we were finally able to think about how to solve a problem without having to worry how to put it in code — and that’s mostly due to the power of Ruby.
I had the same feeling.
I am honored to work near Assaf, with who I had this talk today (through email):
Me - Assaf, what’s taking you ?
Why isn’t this already in your tumblr ?*
Come on, 12 hours offset are unacceptable 
Me - Oh crap - messed up, didn’t see it.
Sorry.**
Assaf-and I already e-mailed him to let him know.
Me-In your previous life you were a firefighter.
Now I am looking for a nice red fire truck that could be used as a logo (in SVG) for Buildr, the new Maven reap(e)r !
An other approach to build Java is Raven, which is quite mature now I think.
