FreeBSD project has a coding style named sytle(9) to follow when I’m writing FreeBSD stuff code but *now* I know that, so I can write unindented code and convert it with vim FreeBSD_Style() function :).

A talk about GvGen was presented by Sebastien Tricaud.

I discovered a library to create easily Graphviz dot files with good legend and I like it !

So, I decided to port it on FreeBSD operating system with this pr and finally it was commited by flz@ on ports tree and he add me on additional contributors list.

Thanks to flz@ for his birthday present.

I decided to port it on my prefer operating system via send-pr and now it was commited on ports tree.

So, now I’m a FreeBSD maintainer \o/. It’s is the first but not the last

Thanks to jadawin@ and GomoR.

Last night, I send patch to developer Benjamin Lutz and this reaction was :

That is a useful idea, thanks!

He told me, he project to rewrite psearch from scratch in c++ to run it faster.

By the way, the following patch is available in my repository named psearch-1-2-maintainer-option.diff.

But why I wrote this patch ? I need to look for umaintened ports of FreeBSD port tree and now I can use it like that to do my search :

(sbz@atemi:~) % psearch -m | grep 'ports@FreeBSD.org' | more
arabic/aspell Aspell Arabic dictionaries ports@FreeBSD.org
archivers/9e Explode Plan9 archives ports@FreeBSD.org
...


Cool no ?

Let’s do some shell one-liner do test it (I sort nameserver by order just for the test) :

% cat /etc/resolv.conf
search free.fr
nameserver 212.27.32.5
nameserver 212.27.32.6
nameserver 212.27.32.176
nameserver 212.27.32.177
nameserver 212.27.39.1
nameserver 212.27.39.2
nameserver 212.27.39.134
nameserver 212.27.39.135
nameserver 213.228.0.23
nameserver 213.228.0.212
nameserver 213.228.0.159
nameserver 213.228.0.168
% for i in $(grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf|cut -d' ' -f2); do echo $i $(ping -c 1 $i|grep 'ms'|grep -v round|cut -d':' -f2); done;
212.27.32.5 icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=44.532 ms
212.27.32.6 icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=44.653 ms
212.27.32.176 icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=44.510 ms
212.27.32.177 icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=44.578 ms
212.27.39.1 icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=43.574 ms
212.27.39.2 icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=44.620 ms
212.27.39.134 icmp_seq=0 ttl=52 time=44.360 ms
212.27.39.135 icmp_seq=0 ttl=52 time=44.356 ms
213.228.0.23
213.228.0.212
213.228.0.159
213.228.0.168 icmp_seq=0 ttl=51 time=44.209 ms


Finally, it appear the best are 212.27.39.1 and 213.228.0.168 and some are down.

My friend MagicalTux remember me, it’s more useful to always keep the same nameserver to profit of server cache.

By the way, there are open nameservers . For example the more famous are Opendns reachable at website.

I wrote a little Perl script to use them. It fetch website page and retrieve ip of opendns nameservers, then it add them in /etc/resolv.conf file.

It’s for that, since this day, i go to write more and more my own script with Python but I don’t forget my best camel companion, Perl. I look for a tool for refactoring and I find bicyclerepair for vim and emacs.

To use it, on FreeBSD :

$ sudo portinstall devel/bicyclerepair
$ cp path/to/bike.vim ~/.vim/plugin/
$ gvim&


I make a little video to illustrate how to use refactoring functions of this practical plugin.

Indeed, I decided to continue to write on the web, for you, me and my own pleasure. I decide to stop writing french post and writing all in english except the post tag by “french” category to improve my english and permit non french person to read my post.

For this occasion, I profit to upgrade wordpress from 2.0.1 to 2.3.2, customize some aspect, and use some interesting plug-ins.

The plug-ins added are :

- Category Tagging to make a tag cloud of my categories

- Now Reading to stay connected on my current books reading

- Spam Skarma to protected blog of malicious spammer

- Wordpress Database Backup to backup blog database clickly friendly

I have lot of things to tell you about security, maemo, FreeBSD, wmii, and more others so stay faithful !
