Nothing is better to prevent me from posting something than the laptop that decide to switch itself off when I delicately lift it to move downstairs. I had the feeling I had to save the post. It will have to wait.

Half a decade ago I landed in Canada. Not sure what happened since, but that's surely 5 years.

Sometime the shit hit the fan. Good thing I have the EEE PC. The bad thing is that I might be slow replying to email as I dont have a mail client here, nor do I have my ssh key.
Update: wow this post has the number 666.

Nonwithstanding that it was the 3rd hard drive to die in a month, when I went to buy a new one, the car broke down on the return. And by broke down I mean the gear got stuck in 2nd. Fortunately it is a stick and I could safely stop the car to get it towed by the roadside assistance. I'll know more Monday when the dealership is actually open: the car is still under warranty.
Since you can read this, that means the hard drive is back in and he machine back up.

I'm on vacation until new year. That does not mean I'll be un reachable, but just that I have a lot of copious spare time.
Maybe I'll have time to push some new release for exempi, libopenraw and hack on my pet project.

Done recently:
boost::thread. Looks nice although the documentation seems to be a bit vague. I'll talk more about it when I wrangle it better. I like Boost, even though sometime g++ does not help.[1] I forgot the name

Back from a ten days trip to Toronto (with two week-ends including the long labour day week-end). Highlights are:

It is Canada day.
Tonight we attended my first July 1st fireworks, seen from the Quebec side over Parliament Hill, from the Musée des Civilisations to celebrate the 140 years of the confederation.

I just wish I could be at FOSDEM in Brussels. I would have been in France at that time, I sure would be there. But my trip set at that time and had no way to move. I looked for last minute ticket, and YUL->CDG through AMS was CAD$1400, less than just YUL->AMS (forget a flight to Brussels). But both the price and my current work schedule does not allow me to do that.
I hope people will enjoy it.

The weather is crazy is Canada. Crazier than usual. In one night, it snowed, melt, froze. Here is how the car windshield was this morning:

And it is not snow. It is ice ! (apologize for the crappy picture, it is a CAD$30 camera)

I accepted a job offer from Xandros to work in their development team based in Ottawa, Ontario. So I moved to Gatineau, Quebec, which is just accross the Ottawa River.
In 5 days we managed to pack and move all our stuff to our new home in Gatineau (with help from movers), to acquire a much needed vehicle (mass transit is mostly non-existant, unlike in Montreal) and other needed stuff.
ADSL is back online with a little advance, but with a little glitch: I should congratulate Magma tech support for solving the issue quickly (unlike for Rodrigo with a different ISP). I'm quite impressed, as I usually have really bad experiences with tech support in general. My servers are now working fine.
