- L’horloge familiale à moitié dissimulée par un enchevêtrement de chaises, attend obstinément que ses rouages figés reprennent vie. Elle en a vu passer des enfants, des visages inconnus. Elle en a entendu dans cette chambre, des rires, des pleurs et des chamailleries. Et comme une mère attentionnée, elle veilla chaque nuit sur nos corps endormis, plongés dans la moiteur de cette chambre imprégnée de l’ |

- Je suis dans un cocktail plus ou moins emmerdant, plus ou moins hype, plus ou moins frime. Je suis venu pour bouffer gratis, et aussi parce qu'on m'avait invité, et enfin parce que ça m'amusait (1). Je tiens mon verre de rhum-coca d'une main et je cherche à occuper l'autre ce qui n'est plus aussi évident que ça depuis que j'ai cessé de fumer. Vieille habitude, néfaste certes, mais qui me manque intensément lorsque je suis dans des gratte-moi-l'ego de ce genre. Évidemment, du coup, je me sens un peu comme si j'étais tout nu, et du coup, pour me rassurer, j'épingle mentalement les petits travers de tout un chacun, et quand on me cause je suis, au mieux froid comme une sorte de vamp frigide, au pire pinçant comme un sorte de vieille fille avariée. |

- A l image, toujours ces mêmes nouvelles d Irak. Toujours des explosions, puis, des Irakiens emmoustachés de vingt ou trente ans, qui courent comme un peuple immature de dix ans, en chantant des conneries, en tournant en rond, tout heureux que ça ai pété, tout heureux de passer haineux, en montrant le poing ou le doigt à la caméra. Enfin, toujours le plus malin que les autres, il n insulte pas. Il parle calmement « Les Américains doivent partir, dit-il, sinon ils vont tous mourir ». Alors les gosses de trente ans se remettent à sauter, à hurler, à insulter, à taper des pieds. |

- Someone on the SWIXML mailing list posted this nice article on Swing threading. Correctly threaded GUIs being something that many programmers don't get right I figured I ouhgt to pass this on. Oh how I miss the days of BeOS where everything was multi-threaded by default from the API and you had to go out of your way to make an app not be multithreaded.... |

- RESPONSE: MicroGoogle Gets A Mix Recently, we asked what you guys thought about the idea that Microsoft might very well have its heart set on acquiring Google by hook or by crook if it goes public in the future (already having tried unsuccessfully to buy it outright, sources say) and what concerns this raised among the Gnomies. We got a mixed bag of responses, and here's what some of you had to say. Low Carb Craig in British Columbia writes: I've been programming and using software since before most people even imagined a PC and have watched Microsoft and the consuming public "grow up" with computers. |

- In a couple of weeks time I will be leaving Winchester in the morning to drive to Leeds. My plan is to call into London, I have one meeting I need to arrange and there others that I could possibly arrange. I do not want to bring my car into central London, so looking at the map, my thoughts were to follow the M3 to the end and then take the North Circular to Hendon(the start of the M1) and get a tube in from there. Does this make sense and if so what is parking like in Hendon? Anybody get any better ideas? |

- Erik Jacobson recently posted a proposal for implementing node-level round-robin memory allocation for large hash tables that are allocated by the kernel to better support NUMA systems. In his email he offers a concise description of the problem, explaining that the portion of the kernel responsible for allocating these hash tables is not NUMA aware: "The end result is that the first node in the system is hit harder in terms of memory usage than other nodes. On a very large system (32 or more nodes with 4g of memory per node for example), the first node in the system can have less than half of its total memory available." This can lead to poor performance for large computational jobs when the memory is not spread equally among all nodes. |
