The Linux Distribution Chooser: after a kind of survey, they give you a Linux distribution that can suit you. In my case, they were right since they gave me the advice to use the Fedora Core (that I am currently using). Booh, a static Web-Album generator (a French news from the author) CImg, a C++ template image processing library Do-it-yourself LED lightning for the house The Warning label generator :-) During this week-end, I’ve met a lot of people but I didn’t worked a lot (and my boss is asking for some results asap …).

Here are some evening news … While surfing on Slashdot and LinuxFr, I read two articles on yakforfree and openwengo. Yakforfree claims to bring the revolution to your voice communications by adding video. Of course, their main competitor - Skype - doesn’t offer it yet. But video conferencing software are already available since quite some time, and some of them are even free (as in free speech): gnomemeeting, e.g. OpenWengo is open source (GPL), backed by a French telecom company and offer voice, video and chat communications between PCs (MS-Windows and GNU/Linux). It is said to work on the open SIP protocol (I am wondering if one can contact a Wengo user with another Sip-based software). And, for the moment, they offer a 3 euros communication credit for every inscription (I suppose it’s for calling regular phone lines). Hmmm … seems interesting. If I have time, I’ll try it. ...

I am a statistics because I replied to this MIT weblog survey (I found the link on Alex Schroeder’s diary). Alex Schroeder put the “I made some Science” sticker on his weblog but, since I did some biological experiments today, this sticker wouldn’t mean anything on my website ;-)
