mon petit blogue sans importance...

fight the spam...

i usually get a fair amount of spam, and lately it was about 50-100/day. About 2/3s of which is caught by Thunderbird's spam filter, which at least doesn't have many false positives, but that still leaves a lot of crap in my inbox. Yesterday i put in some changes in my postfix setup, and i'm down to less than 10 (judging from the only 2 spams i got overnight)... very cool. See below for the changes i did.

nice helper for editing html in a textarea

I'm lazy. Django gives you a nice admin interface for free for all models you write in your webapp. Sure, you can customize it and everything, but i didn't: it just works. So that's what i use to enter new posts on this blog. But editing html is  a pain when you're lazy, so i found this really neat plugin: Xanha. It lets you open a wysiwyg editor from any textarea, edit the html graphically, then just push the raw html back to the textarea... really cool. Many kudos.

A while ago, a company open-sourced their OSX and windows-only vector graphics software, hoping it would spur some people to port it to linux, which did happen. I gave it a try, and though i have no talent whatsoever, it looks pretty good!

téléchargez des MP3s de Archambault...

Je ne veux plus acheter de CD; c'est idiot: je paie pour du plastique, du papier, un camion pour le transporter, et tout ce que je fais avec, c'est le numériser et ne plus jamais l'utiliser. Plusieurs magasins en lignes permettent maintenant l'achat de fichiers sans DRM/GND, et le magasin en ligne d'Archambault, Zik, en offre justement, alors j'ai décidé d'essayer ça... lisez la suite pour quelques détails.
