Je crée une nouvelle catégorie sur ce blog, un catégorie "flipper". Celle-ci sera complétement en français et aura pour sujet les flippers ( de Bally, Williams, Stern), ces machines éléctro-mécaniques que l'on trouvait dans les bistros. On en trouve encore mais c'est de plus en plus rare.
j'ai toujours été fasciné par ces jeux, mon copain Brian en avait un, Ensuite à Ocean Grove j'allais jouer pour 25c de longues minutes dans les salle de jeux à Asbury Park. Je me souvient d'une pizzeria à Berkeley, où les flippers m'attiraient plus que les pizza. Enfin plus récemment, à l'IUT lorsque François et moi jouions tout les jours ou presque après le déjeuner à Tales of The Arabian Night. J'ai cette année fait l'acquisition de ce jeux et je vais le réparé, d'ou cette nouvelle section dans ce blog.

If you look at mozilla's crash reported and peek at the crashes Thunderbird get, you'll see that the number of crashes is very low on Linux. That's because people use the packaged version of Thunderbird on Linux which is slightly different from the official release one (so they don't give us build symbols and disable the crash reporter). So from a QA and dev perspective we are loosing a lot of crash information , because we think we have a good Linux installed base. This is about to change, as one of the Major Linux distribution (SUSE Linux and it's sister openSUSE) are about to send us all those crashes that are happening. This won't be in the 11.3 releases per-se, but it will be from any update package that user will install from now on. Thanks Wolfir for making this happen !

I came back from the Mozilla 2010 summit be more like the web edition, two days ago. I'm now still fighting jet-lag but doing way better than yesterday :-). This was a awsome great meeting. I've met a bunch of very interesting people (some of which will unfortunately get spammed on some bugs) working on plenty of position at mozilla. It was nice to finally meet some of the people I've been interacting with online in the last year and a half (Hi , Wayne, rkent, Gary, Archeopteryx, Neil ....). And I ended up having a bunch of very interesting conversations with our contributors. I probably ended up spending too much time with the French contributors (that I've known through previous events like FOSDEM), playing belote contrée. I hadn't play the game for quite a while so no regrets at all. I had setup a PGP and CAcert signing meet. PGP went well as 15 people came and participated while CAcert , only some assurers (not even all of them) showed up.

I'd like to thank all the people who did a amazing job preparing and organizing the summit - it was perfect !

Ho and yes I did make a few pictures while there :
