As I code at work, in the train and also at home, my knowledge database has to be available in at least 3 different computers. Best of luck, Mendeley is pretty efficient and well developed, and as long as you don't use special characters you can use the software on different OSes without messing everything up (I tried Windows and Linux versions). What you have to do is to install the piece of software on each computer, and give Mendeley a folder to watch.

Dropping out of school in late 2010, I had only a few days to find a flat and get furnitures in Nantes before starting working at Advansee.

The main reason is that I am kind of a 'home' guy, but this is another story. . .

Productivity is really important for me, as it is the root which allows you to acquire you tiny slice of knowledge of the day. I use several tools to help be stay productive, among which :
    -

    Pomodoro

    +

    Pomodoro

    A technique that consists in using a timer to switch between work and breaks. As it is really difficult (yeah, impossible) to stay focused for hours; Pomodoro trains you to work in bursts of 25 minutes.

    GTD (aka Getting Things Done)

    +

    GTD (aka Getting Things Done)

    I use a light, personal version of it but the idea stays the same. The first thing I do at work is to set up a list of 3 things to do for the day. On Mondays  I set 3 bigger objectives for the week. I never spend much time doing that, as I had loads of time to thing about it since the last time. When working, I also usually always spend some time setting up a set of simple objectives in order to avoid diverging from my final aim. The drawback of this method is that you have to set objectives that are precise enough to be doable in a week/day, but complex enough so that you don't have only a few hours of work. Coupled with Pomodoro, this technique is highly powerful as you can make you tasks fit into 25 minutes time frames.

    StayFocused

    A chrome extension that blocks a list of defined websites once you spent more than 10 minutes on them during the day. -

    RescueTime

    RescueTime

    A piece of software that you install on your computer and keeps track of the application you have in foreground. Applications are divided into categories, depending on how effective they are for your productivity. As an example, I am (assumed to be) really efficient where I use Eclipse, but really distracted when I am on youtube. At the end of the day (month, year,  . . .) you get statistics; and a percentage of global productivity. -You can set objectives, compare yourself with the best or the average of people using RescueTime, . . .  I love this tool because it shows you how much time you can lose if you are not careful about what you do. And when you end up you day with a global productivity of ~30% you know you screwed up somewhere ! -

    Headsets and music

    -Whenever I want to be 100% into a task, I put my headset on. This has become some sort of habit, and cuts me from the outside world. This effect is some kind of a pavlovian conditioning. Listening to repetitive music (trance, drums and bass, . . .) helps me stay into the flow. +You can set objectives, compare yourself with the best or the average of people using RescueTime, . . .  I love this tool because it shows you how much time you can lose if you are not careful about what you do.

    +In my last post, I explained why I hate Stack Overflow, so I won't explain it again. Let's just say that I try to avoid searching for answers in there. The best way I found to avoid Stack Overflow posts is to use DuckDuckGo. The reason is that SO posts are usually less present than in Google.

      I had no experience at all with media server in the past, and I must say that I am really impressed how well thought the whole thing can be. When adding movies to the library, xbmc will automatically download the subtitles and covers for it. Better than that, it will display them nicely in the background as you browse through your library!

      I already know which project I'll donate to next month :).

      As a lot of people, I have pages full of cool ideas I'd like to implement.

      I start to work on some of them, write about a few of those, and to this day am happy about none. The huge majority about what I do doesn't even have a README. I know I am not the only one. I know lots of developers are like me.

      I stop working about most of my ideas because no one uses them. Because most of the ideas I got in the end come from me. And I don't find much motivation solving my own problems.

      Last week, for the very first time, a friend of mine came with a request. For the very first time, someone asked me to implement something to make their life easier. -The real-time schedule of the bus network of the city they live in is only available on a WINDOWS WIDGET. +The real-time schedule of the bus network of the city they live in is only available on a WINDOWS WIDGET.

      So they asked me to make and android app out of the widget, so that they could use it with their mobile. And then I realized how big of a market it could be. A whole city of 150k people, taking the public transports, with no app to warn them about the next bus coming. I worked my arse off, and within 2 days had reverse engineered the widget and developed a really simple android MVP.

      The whole thing was simply based on POST request, so it was just a matter of getting the right parameters to make it work. I have rarely been so productive, driven by the idea that I was sitting on a potential 10k downloads.

      And as I was working, I looked at the public transportation website once again, searching for some information.

      It's been a long time since I have written stuff regularly on this blog. But it doesn't mean nothing happened; far from that in fact!

      For some strange reason, blogging is just like sport : the less you practice the less you want to get back in. Put some holidays in the middle and you quickly end up in a situation where your blog lies dead for weeks even though you have plenty of ideas of articles. And after some time, you don't even have ideas any more; which makes it even more difficult to get back on rails.

      I don't know about you, but thinking about it I can often see a relation between the number of blog posts I write and the progress I make in my pet projects. Just like if blogging was some kind of motivator to work harder, or somehow linked to my productivity as a developer.

So I can officially say that I also created my first web app!

    The concept is really simple:

    Spotify users can share songs via facebook. But I hate facebook, and I hate the facebook integration in other parties even more. The other aternative is a http link. Thing is this link is only playable for spotify customers. And this is boring! So comes spo2tu.be, that takes your spotify url and tranforms it into its best youtube equivalent so that you can share it with your friends without any problem! -I must say I am quite happy with the app, but it seems like I am the only one having this problem because the website had no traction at all, whether it be on hacker news or reddit. +I must say I am quite happy with the app, but it seems like I am the only one having this problem because the website had no traction at all, whether it be on hacker news or reddit. What I am really thrilled about though, is that this was the first time I have scratched my own itch, and not someone else's. Since the app is up, I already used it 4 times a day to share songs. As usual, I tried to do something I had no experience about at all, and it has been quite a mess.

    But let's talk about the way the magic happens

    -Once you enter the spotify web url, spo2tu.be queries spotify's webplayer and extracts the name of the song and the group from the page. I know I could have used the api, but I already had some experience of webscraping with Brestram and I didn't want to query the spotify api a lot with my own customer name. -Once the name of the song is known, I simply query the youtube API and retrieve the most likely candidate. +Once you enter the spotify web url, spo2tu.be queries spotify's webplayer and extracts the name of the song and the group from the page.

Finally, the server sends the results back to the client which display everything to the user. This was the first client/server app I developed from scratch, so I spent quite some time trying to figure out how everything had to work :). -I wanted to get my hands of node for a long time, so this was my requirements for this project (even though Flask would have probably been simpler). -For the client side code, I decided to take backbone as a basis. I wanted something low level, so that I could grasp as much concepts as possible. This is why I decided to avoid meteor, for example. -I use bootstrap for the rendering.

    I thing I said it all.

    The first real difficulty for me was to understand the concepts behind node, and especially the asynchronous programming part. At the very beginning, it even made it difficult to understand the docs, because the prototypes of the methods looked strange! But after a few hours everything started to feel easier. And I was more than happy to let go of the threads and other queues :). -I also had quite a lot of trouble setting up the server environment.

Backbone and boostrap were easier to handle that I would have expected. Maybe it's not that difficult after all :). If you put everything together, having to learn javascript, REST, css, backbone, node and hosting at the same time was quite challenging. I spent some time in front of a huge pile of knots, trying to understand which string to pull! But the app is finally up, and I hope some people will find it and start using it. I don't plan on making anything special with it, but it is still cool when the stuff you build with your hands is useful to someone :). -Now go and try it out :)  +Now go and try it out :)  diff --git a/_posts/2013-09-18-use-a-xerox-printer-on-ubuntu.markdown b/_posts/2013-09-18-use-a-xerox-printer-on-ubuntu.markdown index 1e71975..7a10b4b 100644 --- a/_posts/2013-09-18-use-a-xerox-printer-on-ubuntu.markdown +++ b/_posts/2013-09-18-use-a-xerox-printer-on-ubuntu.markdown @@ -6,9 +6,9 @@ title: Use a Xerox printer on Ubuntu author: Julien Lengrand-Lambert author_login: jlengrand author_email: julien@lengrand.fr -author_url: https://www.lengrand.fr +author_url: http://www.lengrand.fr wordpress_id: 882 -wordpress_url: https://www.lengrand.fr/?p=882 +wordpress_url: http://www.lengrand.fr/?p=882 date: 2013-09-18 09:11:56.000000000 +02:00 categories: - tips @@ -24,12 +24,12 @@ comments: [] --- A quick and small post that could save some of you a few hours. -If you're like me, you may have a Xerox printer of phazer in your work or home environmenent. +If you're like me, you may have a Xerox printer of phazer in your work or home environmenent. -And your ubuntu is unable to print any document on this printer, displaying fancy errors like "filter failed". +And your ubuntu is unable to print any document on this printer, displaying fancy errors like "filter failed". -Before going on the Xerox website searching for ugly tar.gz files to install; and read dozens of forums and documentation pages to finally get the printer to work; -try to install foomatic-db. +Before going on the Xerox website searching for ugly tar.gz files to install; and read dozens of forums and documentation pages to finally get the printer to work; +try to install foomatic-db.

    Most of the applications that can be performed using satellite imagery cna also be done by other means, such as aerial cameras or even by gathering data from the ground. However, the repeatability, area covered and sheer amount of data made available makes it a very cheap resources for large volumes.
