Le winmail.dat et Outlook

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

Ce matin, un de mes collègues me demandait pourquoi lorsqu’il envoyait un courrier électronique avec un attachement depuis Outlook, de temps en temps, les destinataires sous Thunderbird n’arrivaient pas à recevoir la pièce jointe.
Le problème vient d’Outlook qui ne joint pas l’attachement de façon « propre », mais l’encapsule dans un winmail.dat.
Il est tout à fait […]

Grande nouveauté : CommentOnFait.fr

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

En lisant le blog de mon ami authueil (au fait, tu penseras mettre un lien vers mon blog ?), je suis tombé sur un article « ToutCeQuOnVeut.fr »
Puisqu’Authueil parle de grands sites en n-importe-quoi.fr, pour ma part, j’en ai trouvé un qui me correspond assez bien dans l’esprit : Les Filles Saimal (Merci au passage à Raphaël pour […]

Une belle explication des DRM

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

Hier soir dans l’hémicycle de l’Assemblée Nationale j’ai eu la chance d’entendre une magnifique définition de ce qu’est un DRM. M. Suguenot (UMP) a très didcatiquement détaillé comment fonctionne un DRM. Je vous copie/colle ici le verbatim du propos de M. Suguenot. La seule erreur à noter est l’utilisation du verbe crypter là où nous […]

L’invitation pour LesTelechargements.com

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Ce soir, je me suis rendu au Palais de Tokyo pour la présentation du site LesTelechargements.com.
Ce qui m’amène à poster ce billet c’est que je me suis vraiment interrogé sur l’utilité de ce genre de faux événements. J’y ai croisé quelques artistes (Eddy Mitchel, Louis Bertignac, Henri Salvador…), l’apéritif était assez sympathique.

Malgré toutes ces […]

Adapt planetplanet with French settings

Friday, June 3rd, 2005

Today I hacked a little bit on planet in oder to suit with French settings such as timezone and dates.

Lobbying for a decent French localization in mozilla

Monday, November 29th, 2004

Last night on the topic of #traduc on irc.oftc.net, the topic mentioned the following URL:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194498
In French typo we have non-breakable spaces. The problem is that currently mozilla does not handle these non-breakable spaces correclty. It simply replaces non-breakable spaces by “normal” spaces. It renders some forms, filenames and wiki very dirty. You could help solving […]

I am a politician

Tuesday, July 27th, 2004

I found the link to this quizz on a recent post of Jaldhar Vyas on planet.debian.net
Wackiness: 34/100
Rationality: 24/100
