Alinéa / First Post

Posted on by

Ok .. Let’s start. I talk w/ Phil and Ludo last w-e, about my new blog system, and it seems that they are happy to join my effort to release a keep-it-simple blog system that use Zope as core.

As i have already done some tests this will be pretty kool. We don’t really know how the work will be done, but i know that it will be fast.

Ludo has decided to name it "Alinéa" ( à la francaise ). And i ‘m OK, so let try to write it now.

I hope to have something working in the CVS since 2 weeks.

The only thing that hurt me is that Zope major issue in developpement stage, is that you can’t use it. Explain : If i write some piece of code for my new blog system, i will be unable to use it since the dev is finish, because i don’t respect this, i will have some post w/ old attributes and so on .. and having to write a script to import / export articles right now i out of the scope of the project right now. So i need to still this MT despite i really feel un-happy about it.

So if you are interested about a fairly easy blog system for Zope ( using ZPT / no CMF / no DCWorkflow / no Database / no Custom products / and only Zope Core in .. ) please inform me. I need some feedback about the needs
( Despite i will not follow every idea ) .

Code support for reST

reST is one of my favorite tools right now. It’s easy to read / write, produce some nice HTML output (as in http://respyre.org for example ).

The only issue for me is that i’ve been unable to write some custom tag, but this morning i just discover this: Making docutils do python syntax highlighting</a> on Bob Rant blog. So guess what .. i gonna implement this for my new blog system :)

Many thanks Bob

On post on slashdot i just discover that the ndiswrapper is released under GPL. and seems to support my cards :)

Pretty fine since, it’s time for me to purchase the driver from LinuxAnt.

Ok I will give it a try soon …

( important note : it should support intel centrino too :)

You can off course use the linuxant one

Once again, Ian wrote a nice article on status notification :

And once again, he’s right. But it’s a bit hard to integrate nicely in IHM cause they need sessions or HTTP_POST to disable caching trouble and fixed URL reload. And session aren’t a piece of cookies in Zope. ( as in webare for exemple )

Ho.. i missed to say that i switched to ion too on my notebook, this is pretty hard to use and got a lot of trouble w/ "screen" and frame resizing.

One broken cellphone ( Alcatel ), a new one: Nec 22i. Despite I don’t really like this kind of stuff, this one looks pretty kool, and have email / and web acces. This gonna drive me in imode-MT access.

I still have the Ipaq at home. and i have done several things w/. The only trouble is that the ROM is quite full so I can’t install new stuff on .

As you can see here. The ipaq runs Xipaq and a rxvt.



I pretty like the sshd running on iPaq. It really make it damn kool.

Twisted or not

Posted on by

I spent a couple of hours to look at http://www.twistedmatrix.com/ . After a little of hacking, i think i understand how it works, mainly static.File. But i still need to work on this since i want to use it to share some large files and this need a little work to avoid locking the whole system.

Perhaps using static.File as core of my system will do the trick but as i want to do some bandwith limitation i need to write some custom stuffs. ..

iKaaro

I’ just discover ikaaro (http://www.ikaaro.org) last night. After a couple of ./configure; make install it seems to work pretty fine. I really need to look at this closer since it use a custom TAL like system that seems to be really faster than original TAL.

Some bugs still remain, i was unable to do cut/paste and there is a bug in guess_contenttype too, but not really a big deal i think.

After looking this a night, the system is really light ( don’t use a couple of CMF products or other things like DC workflow), si it have some limitation but it should be enought to do a good bloging system ( i’m still need to give up about this MT ). but it don’t use reST and this is a bad news.

Another thing that i found usefull is that it use EPoz for html editing and this is pretty kool .

Hi,

Since you have obtained a trial license for DriverLoader, we are happy to inform you that permanent licenses for end-users are now available from our web store.

https://www.linuxant.com/store.

You can take a look at the press release for all the details.

http://www.linuxant.com/company/press_dldrstore.php

Also note that DriverLoader 1.36 is now available from the download section of our web site. We recommend that all users upgrade to the latest version.

Regards,

Ok now i add to pay for this driver why not . But hum 19$ .. it’s a bit more
than i want to pay for that. I will ask a rebate from Linksys ! And i guess that when i will
pay broadcom will release the source ?

Anyway, LinuxAnt has really made a great job since the driver works on centrino too now.
