Cher journal,br / br / Aujourd'hui je me décide à enfin poster sur mon retour
d'expérience du protocole MSN (ou plutôt emLive Messenger/em pour faire tendance).br /
br / Déjà je suis étonné de voir que personne n'a parlé de la
version 2 de aMSN. Alors avant toute chose, je vous conseille d'aller jeter un coup
d'œil ici : a
href=http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5299http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5299/abr
/ br / Pour les feignants, ça dit en gros que les dev de a href=http://emesene.org/emesene/a
rejoignent (en partie) la team aMSN pour faire un nouveau client emfrom scratch/em en
strongPython/strong, utilisant la librairie a
href=http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Pymsnpymsn/a et avec la possibilité de coller
n'importe quel front-end par dessus. On a d'ailleurs vu germer en plus de f-e par défaut EFL
(lib enlightment) le f-e GTK, Qt, et même web (en Ajax).br / br / Avant de vous
précipiter dessus comme des pucelles effarouchées ou d'aller harceler les dev sur
leur chan IRC, il faut savoir qu'il n'y a pas de version pleinement utilisable encore. Le
dépôt est en revanche a href=http://github.com/drf/amsn2/tree/masteraccessible sur
github/a si vous voulez contribuer (a
href=http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5994HOWTO Contribute to aMSN2/a).br / br /
Pendant cette période d'émergence du client, je me suis formé doucement
à cette librairie pymsn en codant mon propre a href=http://omsn.tuxfamily.org/petit
client/a. J'ai donc un client à peu près utilisable qui fait des choses basiques, et
surtout qui peut servir à d'autres qui aurait besoin d'une base afin de voir comment
fonctionne un peu la librairie (la « doc' » ne suffit pas vraiment). Il existe aussi un
autre a href=https://launchpad.net/elloquenceclient nommé elloquence/a (qui ne marche plus
bien à cause des évolutions de la lib si je me souviens bien) qui m'a bien
aidé pour comprendre comment marche pas mal de choses.br / br / Je suis malheureusement
actuellement confronté à des problèmes avec la librairie (des
implémentations manquantes, des bugs, etc.). C'est la seule librairie qui va être
maintenue dans le futur, mais actuellement elle ne l'est pas du tout. Les anciens dev recherchent
un nouveau mainteneur. Il n'est vraiment pas évident actuellement de proposer des patch ou
d'avoir une lib à jour. Résultat, tous les clients ont un fork de pymsn dans leur
dossier, et ce n'est vraiment pas terrible pour centraliser les patchs ou avoir une lib solide.br /
br / Actuellement, les développeurs de aMSN2 n'ont pas le temps de s'en occuper (ils sont
plus préoccupés par leur nouveau emproof-concept/em, et la lib leur suffit bien pour
l'instant). Résultat ça n'avance pas, et ça reste de la grosse bidouille du
coté du client pour adapter le comportement de la librairie.br / br / Il faut bien
comprendre que le protocole MSN est vraiment quelque chose de... « compliqué »
si je puis dire. Et par dessus tout, la librairie pymsn n'est pas simple d'accès pour un
codeur qui a les bases en python. J'ai un manque clair de compétences (et de temps comme
tout le monde) pour m'y plonger plus profondément que je ne l'ai fait actuellement.br / br /
Je vais terminer avec un petit retour d'expérience. Je travaille actuellement sur un
meilleur support des avatars/nickname du profil courant ; je cherche à ce qu'il soient
automatiquement récupérés sur le serveur distant plutôt que
sauvegardé en local. En fait, quand on spécifie que l'on change son avatar (quand la
session est ouverte), c'est un signal qui est envoyé à tous les contacts de la liste.
Et si on veut pouvoir le récupérer à la prochaine session, il faut aussi
l'uploader sur un serveur Microsoft (système de emContentRoaming/em). Ce qui en gros
signifie que quand vous changez d'avatar, vous envoyez un signal (« Hey les amis mon avatar
il a changé !!!! ») et là, vos 90 contacts vont vous demander votre avatar et
vous allez l'envoyer à chacun d'entre eux (Ça y'est, vos pics de bande
passante s'expliquent ?...). Il ne faut pas non plus oublier de l'uploader sur le serveur Microsoft
pour le prochain login. Bref, il faut reconnaître que c'est quand même beaucoup moins
du a href=http://www.fdn.fr/Internet-libre-ou-Minitel-2.htmlminitel 2.0/a que jabber où les
avatars sont stockés sur le serveur (Ah non merde, c'est strongaussi/strong le cas avec MSN,
et en plus le serveur est centralisé, j'aurais mieux fait de me taire). Quoi qu'il en soit,
cette procédure, avec pymsn, n'est vraiment pas des plus simple. Il n'existe aucune
méthode qui fait tout ça simplement, et c'est vraiment la galère. Alors
plutôt que d'implémenter des hacks supplémentaires dans le client, je
préférerais travailler sur le lib, sur un système comme a
href=http://www.github.com/github/a ou chacun peut contribuer facilement, parceque actuellement
c'est vraiment mort, et proposer un patch n'est pas accessible du tout.br / br / Tout ça
pour dire au final qu'il y a un besoin de développeur^Wmainteneur pour pymsn, car sans
ça, rien n'avance. Donc si quelques personnes se sentent intéressés, ce serait
vraiment super.br / br / Je sais bien que c'est un protocole fermé, destiné à
mourir, qui entretient le géant capitaliste et tout ce que vous voulez. Mais en même
temps, je pense que c'est une expérience très enrichissante de travailler sur quelque
chose d'obscure et proprio (en plus on peut cracher dessus après, et ça, ça
n'a pas de prix). D'autre part, ça fait des années qu'on attend le support de la
vidéo dans jabber (non je ne peux pas vraiment participer c'est pas encore «
standardisé ») alors que la video est intégrée dans le protocole de MSN
depuis longtemps. Alors certes, c'est surement un bordel sans nom, mais en attendant c'est quand
même intéressant de pouvoir proposer un support vidéo qui permette
d'échanger avec un maximum de monde.br / br / Voilà, c'est fini. Désolé
si ce billet est un peu décousu, j'ai voulu dire beaucoup de choses mais j'ai l'impression
d'avoir brassé beaucoup d'air pour pas grand chose... Je ferais mieux au prochain journal
(ou pas).br / br / PS : qu'est-ce que ça change de sélectionner « journal de
{première,seconde} page ? »

Hey all, first time poster here. Last week I picked up a new 8GB touch at Wally World, knowing from
a news post on xlr8yourmac.com that accessories for the 1st Gen touch aren't compatible with the
2nd gen (rechargers, iTrip, etc). I had a 30GB Video and tried the accessories and yes, they were
not compatible. Today though I went to Office Depot and checked out the red tag items. The one
store had three iPod shuffle (1st Gen) adapters for $1 each.
It's real name is an Accessory adapter for iPod Shuffle, made by Kensington. One end of the
rectangular device has the long iPod-type port and the other has a regular USB port. I figured for
a buck I could try and see what all I could try with it. So, I took my Apple adapter that came with
the iPod, plugged the USB port into the one end of the Shuffle Adapter, then plugged my old power
charger into the other end of the Shuffle adapter, and lo and behold it started charging!
I also tried it into my car charger, and it worked just as well. However, I tried using a generic
video adapter purchased from eBay, but that did not work. Still, seeing how Apple's power plug with
the USB port costs $40 at Target, this $1 clearance item comes through very cheaply.
The product is dated from 2005 and has the model # 33360, made by Kensington

width="1" height="1" //divpRiot police forcibly evacuated a house filled with dozens of Jewish
settlers in the West Bank city of Hebron yesterday in the most public showdown between the
government and the increasingly violent settler movement for more than two years./ppHundreds of
police mounted a surprise raid on the three-storey house, which had become the latest symbol of
defiance for Israeli settlers. Troops fired teargas into the crowds and dragged settlers from the
house one by one. Around 30 people were injured, including one policeman who had acid thrown in his
eyes./ppAlthough the house was emptied within an hour, the operation triggered broad settler
protests across the occupied West Bank and in Jerusalem that continued into the night. In Hebron,
masked settlers set Palestinian trees ablaze and attacked buildings. The Israeli military declared
the southern West Bank a closed military zone, setting up roadblocks to prevent more settlers
descending on the city./ppThe building, dubbed the House of Peace by the settlers and the House of
Contention by the Israeli press, was home to 15 settler families, but their numbers had swelled as
supporters poured in. Earlier this week there were riots between the settlers and Palestinians
which left several people hurt on both sides. Settlers daubed a black Star of David on several
graves in a nearby Palestinian cemetery as well as the word "revenge" on a Palestinian house.
/ppYesterday morning the house was full mostly of young people, sitting on the cold concrete
floors, praying in the hallways or playing football in the road outside. One poster read: "This
land is our land."/ppThe settlers claim they bought the house nearly two years ago from a
Palestinian for just short of $1m (pound;670,000) and said they had documents and videotape as
proof. However, the Palestinian has since denied selling the building to the settlers. Last month,
the Israeli supreme court said the house should be evacuated until the ownership dispute was
settled./ppJust minutes before the raid, Nadia Matar, a prominent settler figure who had spent the
past week living in the house, defended the project. "They were able to do what we have been doing
since the beginning of Jewish history: to live in the land of Israel, to purchase land like Abraham
did," she said. /ppThe house sits just outside the large Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba and,
Matar said, was a strategic asset that linked the settlement to the centre of Hebron, the burial
place of the patriarch Abraham./ppLike most in the house, she believes Israel has a biblical right
to take all the land between the Mediterranean sea and the River Jordan. All Jewish settlements in
the occupied territories are illegal under international law./ppMatar was one of the last to be
dragged from the building and as she crouched in the dirt after being deposited by the four
policemen who carried her out, she said: "Shame on the government for using all this force against
us."/ppRuth Hizmi was one of the first to rent an apartment in the house and she lived there with
four of her children. Her flat had bare concrete walls and floor, with electricity cables
stretching across the ceiling and sheets of cloth dividing the bedrooms. /pp"We are citizens who
are holding on to our country, the only country we have and they are giving it away. They are
throwing Jews out of their homes," she said, just hours before the raid. /ppWhen the police arrived
Hizmi was out collecting children from school but quickly returned, forced her way through rows of
police and briefly back into the house before she too was carried out. /ppPolice will now occupy
the building and prevent the settlers returning./ppFor the settlers, holding on to the house was
also an act of defiance against the Yesha council, the traditional settler leadership, which has
lost support among a younger, more hardline generation, particularly after Israel removed its
settlers from Gaza three years ago. /ppHowever, there has been growing antipathy to the settlers
within Israel itself. Yesterday, the left-leaning Ha'aretz newspaper described their actions in
Hebron this week as "Jewish terrorism"./ph2Clashes/h2pstrongHebron/strong is the second largest and
most contentious city in the occupied strongWest Bank/strong. It is home to about strong600 Jewish

In an effort to reach those Academy voters who haven't a clue what The Dark Knight is or was or
could potentially become, folks have kick-started something called The Dark Campaign -- a site dedicated to getting their favorite
film of the year a little recognition come Oscar time. Personally, I'm not sure what an Oscar nod
or two could add to this film's resume, especially since it definitely doesn't need the money. Not
only is The Dark Knight approaching $1 billion at the box office, but chances are it will
also become the year's hottest-selling DVD when it arrives in stores next week. Obviously it's a
popular movie. Obviously a lot of people really dug it. Obviously the Academy could use its massive
following to bolster ratings. So even if voters decide not to reward this Batman sequel for all its
accomplished, something tells me the flick's already made its mark and done its job. (And if there
ever was an Oscar for Best Marketing Campaign, The Dark Knight would win it hands
down.)
That said, as part of the Dark Campaign, one fan
doctored-up this older Academy Awards poster to make it look like the Joker got his hands on
it. Definitely a cute idea, and points go to the creator. Check out a larger version below. What do
you think: If The Dark Knight does deserve an Oscar nod or two, which categories are we
talking about here?

In the last three years, we've adopted three stray cats. With that many cats in the house, the
litter box is in almost constant use. If we don't stay on top of cleaning it, the smell gets
overpowering. And even though we use an igloo-style litter box with a stair-step tunnel entrance,
the cats have figured out a way to kick copious amounts of litter onto the floor. They seem to
consider it a feline duty to scatter the filthy particles around. I can't stand it any longer. I'm
going to toilet train the cats, using the 9-step program outlined in this book, Kick Litter, by
Perre DiCarlo. The training method is so simple that it is explained in two pages. The rest of the
book consists of photos of the author's cats and cutesy captions of what the cats "think" about the
method. The book's cover jacket is an instructional poster you can remove and unfold, and contains
everything you need to know to try this method. I'll give it a try. If I'm successful, I'll shoot a
video of my cats in action. Kick Litter: Nine-Step Program for Recovering Litter Addicts...br

Le principe du site ? Que des phrases qui commencent par quot;A choisir tu
préféreraisquot; avec deux options possibles. Exemple A choisir tu
préférerais : Avoir absolument tout ce que tu veux dans la vie mais mourir à
18 ans ou Vivre jusqu'à 90 ans et mener une vie normale ? En plus tout le monde peut poster
ses choix en quelques secondes, pas besoin d'inscription ;)

THE 13TH, which arrives in theaters February 13, 2009. The pic directed by Marcus Nispel is the
retelling of the original Friday the 13th about teenaged summer camp counselors that are
systematically slaughtered by a mysterious killer. Jason Voorhees will wear the mask and kill,
keeping the famous setting of Crystal Lake. Watch for the brand spanking new trailer later today,

Hello, I am long time lurker but first time poster.
I am a senior MS tech who only dabbles with MACs. I have an issue with my MAC at home that I
haven't been able to resolve. I am hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
iChat (using to connect to AIM) isn't displaying text on IM sessions. I can send an IM, it will be
received on the other end but I can't get any IMs back nor will my IMs be shown in the IM
session.
I have done some first level troubleshooting. Tracked changes on the laptop, nothing correlates to
when the problem first started. Forced a software update, no luck. Rebooted, no luck.

The MAKE/CDM/Etsy sonic fun-derland event returns - this time @ our new location, Third Ward in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY! Kicking off the new
monthly schedule, the first meet-up will be Thursday, Dec. 11th. Peter of CDM gives details
-Bonus – Make Your Own Beep-It Optical Theremin. For the cost
of parts (about $10), Mike Una is giving a workshop – no experience required,
and you’ll leave with your own Beep-It. (Space is limited!)
Double Bonus – You! We’re looking for hardware and
software projects to share.
Not in New York? Stay tuned – we’ll have some ways to
join up live online with both the CDM community and the Etsy community.
Party: 7-10p, 12/11 (snacks/drinks + lots of sounds for everyone, from
non-musicians to hardcore musical hackers!)
Make Your Own Beep-It Workshop: 7:30-8:30p (arrive promptly!)
Here’s what the event is about, as described by, well, me:
Part party, part mixer, part Science Fair, and part performance, this is an informal chance for
geeksters and the geek-curious to come together, relax, and discover new sounds. The evening is a
gathering of inventors of circuit-bent toys, custom software and patches, interactive digital
& visual instruments, custom electronics, electricity-powered noisemakers, DIY robots and new
acoustic instruments. And it’s open to everyone from hard-core hackers & newcomers to
music lovers who want to learn about the DIY music scene.
And here’s a big bonus: if you liked Michael Una’s Beep-It DIY optical Theremin, as
debuted here, you can make your own for the low, low price of parts: about ten bucks.
Michael Una will demonstrate his optical theremin synthesizer Beep-it and conduct a workshop
wherein attendees will build their own optical theremin. The basics of analog synthesis will be
discussed. No skill level is required- all tools and parts will be provided by the participation
fee.
Pay for your parts by Wednesday 12/10, and reserve your spot at the workshop, at

See you next week, in New York or online!
We welcome people showing up with gear and creations at the last minute –
bring cables, an extension cord, and (if you’ve got it) small speakers / headphones / PA
(though we’ll do our best to provide some sound). But it does help to know who’s
coming if you want to give us some advance warning, and we can help publicize your work in
advance. Head over to Create Digital Music to fill out the
project submission form. I'm quite psyched for this - it's been a while since the last event
and this one looks to be fully awesome!
