Yet another year has passed. Who could have thought I could turn 37 some day ? Certainly not me !

I guess I’ll have to admit that I actually reached some kind of adult form… Or something like that.
Good Lord.

I was asked to draw an icon for the Koala HTTP Server from the opendylan project. Surprisely, it went really quickly (just a couple of hours). Much faster than I thought I could do. Hey, I’m getting used this ! Cool.

 
Hopefully, the guys from opendylan will like like… Meanwhile, here goes the little bugger:

tango-koala.tar.gz (SVG, 48×48, 128×128)

… oh, and these are eucalyptus leaves, and not what you might think .

Yes, yes, once again, long time and no blog. As usual, I was swamped: too many things to do, too little time…

Apart from the municipal campaign and business as usual (which keep me quite busy), I’ve been playing with my iPhone like the kid I’m pretending to be.

Since the official SDK has not been announced yet, I’ve been testing Joe Hewit’s Toolkit and Apple’s Guidelines to build web applications. But I was quickly stopped by the lack of available FOSS testing tools…

So, I started a new pet project: creating a small tool to simulate the iPhone embedded browser’s behaviour and test these web apps.

Here goes an early preview of Phoney (asked by the geek gang ):

Phoney is GPL’ed and based on the GTK+ port of WebKit and it’s Python bindings.

This is early pre-alpha quality stuff and uses a really dirty hack ™ to make the user-agent match the iPhone’s.

Source code available as soon as things are somehow stabilized and a SVN account is set up.

Meanwhile, here goes a preview of the Tango icon (based on Jonathan Zuniga’s artwork) that goes with it:

phone-apple-iphone.tar.gz

This, also, is a draft. Stay tuned for more…

Yep, I got an iPhone. Yes, yes, I know all about openmoko and google’s Android. And I know it’s closed source, the hardware is locked and Orange’s data plan is a bitch (I dumped it)…

But when it comes to such a sexy beast, my brain just freezes… Damn you, El Jobso and your reality distortion field !

Here is a small pack of icons for network documentation. This is the answer to a mail on the tango-artists mailing list … and, well, to my own needs. I’ve been franticly busy for months redesigning the security infrastructure of SNCF’s nationwide network, and I’m just *sick* of using MS Visio

The icon for the firewall is actually not mine. If anybody knows who’s the author of this gorgeous thing (and its licence), please, drop a comment. The network monitoring thing is obviously based on gnome-nettool’s icon.

Nov, 12th: the firewall artwork is Cornelius’s

It looks like a Gutsy Gibbon got stuck in my mail box. Thank you Ship It ! Right on time for the upgrade my home server. Cool

I still have to find a way to upgrade my PowerBook… I guess this should do the trick.
