Notes:

My nickname's "Thias", I'm french, but my mother's canadian... so now I'm quite good for english to french translations :-)

I'm currently (december 2000) working at Accelance as a system and network administrator. Needless to say we mostly use Linux. I'm also president of the local FSUG (Free Software User Group) which is also a LUG, here in Lyon, France's second biggest city. It's called ALDIL (Association Lyonnaise pour le Développement de l'Informatique Libre).

I'm also a complete geek, but I suppose it's OK since I'm not the only one around here ;-)

Wow, such a long time!

I can't believe I haven't written anything here since last summer, I have the impression it was yesterday! :-)

Probably because there's nothing much to say... spanish life is cool, the language is coming quick and everything in my work and free software life is pretty much unchanged. I must say though that I'm really happy with what freshrpms.net is becoming : Over 1000 unique visitors per day on the main page, a link to it from the official Red Hat website download page (I didn't even ask for it ;-)) and many encouraging feedback from happy users.

Well, until next year's update... have fun :-)

Well, long since the last update, that must be because there's nothing much new in my "computer" life : freshrpms.net is still being updated all the time, but I haven't got much time to start anything new.

On a personal level, I've moved to Spain and I've been living there for two months now, the first one with my new girlfriend but she's gone back to France for the rest of the summer after...

Major updates successful :-)

Again, building my own RPMs out of everything useful that had never been built for Red Hat 7... and people seem to find it useful (this was one of my initial goals!).
So my website has now moved to : http://freshrpms.net/

Also, on a more personal level, I'll be moving to Spain in a month... maybe forever! Talk about a change :-) I'm going to work in Barcelona, right beside the sea!
(yeah, I've been living in France all my life up to now!)

New RedHat 7 RPMS website

Well, I've done it! At last my first real, useful php/pgsql website has been up and running for three days now and my statistics for visits are literraly exploding!

Just about one month after the static version, http://redhat.aldil.org/ has become much easier to use, to browse... in one word : "better" :-)

I've had an article on linuxfr.org/ (here) about this website and many very nice comments since, which makes me want to continue even more!

Here I go ;-)

Hong-Kong

Well... nothing much lately, still up to putting into RPMs just about anything that hasn't already been put into that format (I still haven't been able to fit a cat into one though :-). Many new and updated RedHat 7.0 packages have appeared since my last diary entry. The detail is on http://redhat.aldil.org/ as usual.

Oh, and tomorrow I'm leaving for Hong-Kong (you can't go any further when you're from France, it's on the other side of the planet!) where I'll be installing Linux servers and a 3Com RAS... the whole week! I'll also be having a second new year's day :-) I just can't wait!
