Changer l’épaisseur des barres de défilement
Posted by kiddo in GNOME, Usability, Vie personnelle on July 26th, 2009
Comme je suis masoschiste et que j’ai maintenant un grand bureau, j’ai décidé depuis de ne plus utiliser de souris (sauf en cas de nécessité) et d’utiliser le stylet de ma tablette graphique (wacom graphire) pour voir si c’est agréable. Ben étonnamment, on s’y habitue. Par contre, y’a toujours le problème qu’un stylet manque un peu de précision quand on doit faire un simple clic sur une petite cible.

0.3.1: a small bug fixing release
Posted by kiddo in Linux Planet, Specto on July 12th, 2009
I just released Specto 0.3.1, not long after 0.3 (in terms of commits), after having addressed some bugs myself. The changes are minor and I don’t expect regressions, so it should be pretty safe to upgrade from 0.3. Maybe I can start a habit of actually releasing stuff more often, if we don’t again plunge into a huge refactoring endeavour like the 0.3 release was.
Imprimante Brother MFC-5840CN
Posted by kiddo in Linux, Vie personnelle on July 5th, 2009
Il y a quelques jours, j’ai trouvé, sur le bord de la route, une imprimante multifonction Brother (imprimante jet d’encre, numériseur, fax, etc.). J’ai cogné à la porte, on m’a dit «prends-la, elle fonctionne, je viens de m’acheter une laser».
