- Moving to ArchLinux , published on Oct. 23, 2011
<em>Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.</em>
- A. Einstein
Last week I decided to move to <a href="http://www.archlinux.org">ArchLinux</a>.
I wasn't excited at all with the release of Oneiric, as it was all about unity, and nothing more. The ubuntu button moved inside ...
- Fortran projects , published on June 19, 2011
It is time to make a pause in my developping frenzy to write a bit about the projects I am currently working on. I have started a new project, written in Fortran. It is called <em>fortun</em> and as you may have guessed, it is a unit test framework for ...
- Only two links , published on June 4, 2011
On wednesday, I have been flooded by more than one hundred spams, on the main page. I was willing to add a filter to the comments, but it faded away as I don't have enough traffic to be worried. Until yesterday, though.
The solution I chose is simple: no ...
- Starting Haskell , published on May 15, 2011
For some time I was looking at a functional language to learn, as it is another approach on solving the problems we encounter every day. I started to look at Erlang, as it is used for CouchDB. Still, it is more network oriented, and I wanted something more general. I ...
- Using gfortran under windows, part 1 , published on March 16, 2011
I have decided to try to compile the codebase at work with gfortran. Even if we use other compilers, I think it is important to be able to compile our code with several compilers, for some obvious reasons:
1. It assures me to produce good code, which is close ...
- Nouveau velo , published on March 8, 2011
Mon ben ça y est je deviens encore plus Hollandais, j'ai acheté un vélo ! Je l'ai pris dans le style d'ici, i.e. sans barre transversale, avec des grosses roues, des protections autour de la chaîne, mais surtout, un gros guidon et les freins à la pedale.
Il n'y ...
- Pure procedures in Fortran , published on Jan. 25, 2011
In Fortran, a keyword I haven't used enough so far is PURE. We want functions but also many subroutines to avoid side-effects. To ensure this, Fortran let us add the keyword PURE in front of a procedure declaration in order to tell the compiler that it does not contain any ...
- De Delftse Methode , published on Nov. 21, 2010
Cela fait maintenant trois semaines que j'apprends le Néerlandais. Mon entreprise me l'a proposé, et j'ai accepté avec plaisir. La méthode que je suis est la célèbre méthode de Delft, <em>De Delftse Methode</em>. Je la suis avec deux collègues. D'autres collègues l'ont commencée avant et sont dans un cours plus ...
- Edito du 14 novembre 2010 , published on Nov. 14, 2010
Après une longue période d'absence, ce blog reprend de l'activité. Pour repartir sur de bonnes bases, je l'ai modifié en surface et en profondeur.
J'utilise toujours Django, mais je suis passé de Postgresql à CouchDB. Au revoir les schémas rigides, et bienvenue à la flexibilité du NoSQL. Je commence ...
- Fortran on freenode , published on Aug. 19, 2010
Recently I've started using IRC to get some answers to my questions, but also to listen, read, and help if I can. I started by going on #django-fr, as I was very curious about it. Even if I couldn't help people yet, what people were talking about, and the advices ...
- Remettre le bouton de chemin dans Nautilus , published on July 20, 2010
Avec Lucid Lynx, le bouton qui permettait d'avoir le chemin du dossier où l'on se site a disparu. Même si on peut y avoir accès via le raccourci calvier <strong>Ctrl + L</strong>, et <strong>Echap</strong> pour revenir à l'état standard, ça me manquait.
Du coup, j'ai cherché comment faire pour ...
- Introduction to Fem4all , published on July 19, 2010
Time for me to introduce Fem4all, after all I said and wrote about it. In finite elements, we need to mesh the geometry we have, then to assign materials, boundary conditions, problem type variables, etc, then to vizualize the results, as contour fills for example. I use GiD at work. ...
- La fonction getarg en fortran , published on July 18, 2010
Ce billet concerne une astuce toute simple en Fortran.
Comme j'en avais marre de toujours taper les noms de mes fichiers d'entrée dans le terminal, je me faisais des scripts du genre :
<div class="code"># !/bin/bash<br /> commande "<<"FIN<br /> $1<br /> $2<br /> $3<br /> FIN</div>
...- Passage à Django , published on July 17, 2010
Cela fait quelque temps maintenant que je suis passé de drupal à django. Plusieurs raisons ont motivé cette décision.
La première est toute simple : il s'agit d'un bogue sur mon ancien site, qui m'empêchait d'aller sur l'interface d'administration et donc d'écrire des billets. Etant données mes connaissances limitées ...
