I’m slowly getting the trick at speaking in front of group… this time: around 60 peoples, mostly part of the english high-tech community of Montreal. Here is a list of the presentation, excluding mine:
If your into programming, you should check the development of Frysk, by Mike Cvet and Nurdin – A very promising debuger tool, especialy for the threading support and system call tracing. I’d love to see history support (relative time-line). DesktopBeautifier, something you might want to try if you are using Windows. Changing your desktop background dynamicaly, fetching picture from a selection of deviantart users. It kinda look like Webshot software that I had to fight against customer to remove for security reasons, so I don’t really know if I would be installing it. ReactOS was presented by the technical lead of the project, Alex Ionescu. Another 2 years of developpement and the system should be ready for full deployment in corporate environment.. with some technical support plan. But, in 2 years from now, where will the operating system industry be. If you ever need to migrate your blog, contact Derek Mahar. He is doing miracles with Ruby. Using Sugar to Sweeten your Javascript, by Sebastien Pierre – Very nice programmation language. I don’t have that much experience with javascript but I know enough, it’s going to be a big thing. You Have to Break a Few Eggs to Make an Omelette, by SimonLaw. Nice presentation, we don’t often see someone bringing eggs, a stove, plates, forks and spice to a conference room.
1Y0-308 is not as hard as people believe it to be. If you have scored well on 156-215 or 220-602, it should not be difficult for you. Anyways, if you plan to attempt 640-863 later, studying for 70-27070-291 will prove quite helpful.

I’m curious what you meant about DesktopBeautifier. What “security reasons” caused you to uninstall Webshots and do the same concerns apply to DesktopBeautifier?
Thank you,

January 20th, 2007 at 4:56 amIn fact, I don’t know if it apply to DesktopBeautifier (I’m using MacOSx & Linux on my mains stations), since i’ve haven’t got the chance to try it at one of my workplace.
I had to remove WebShots because it could only be run as a system administrator and my client was having an Active directory installed (with domain, exchange and everything). His employes were fighting to keep “Webshot software” (well, the “administrator” access to keep the software running).
It was also the fact that this office was the vpn hub for quite a few critical services… and having a software that initial connection toward the “unprotected web” isn’t what I search for in a secure environment (especialy since webshot do update itself quite a lot). This was maybe 1.5 years ago, so thing might have change on webshot side of things (and it was getting quite “invasive” with pub and all).
Same corp. where everyone (except the direction) claimed that incredimail was actualy boosting productivity (right, chosing the right background for your corporate note, really is that important?)… but thats another matter (and they all had licences for Office).
But then again, i’m speaking of a corporate production environment, your software seem more of the kind i’d be installing on my father’s computers, or sister’s. Anyway, they do use their system with an administrator account (sigh!).

Pascal, I would like to contribute a song to HAL. Let me know how I should proceed. The song is my creation and I am the copyright owner.
Best,
Josh
