After nearly 2 month of research, I found a job. The client is located at the center of Nantes (France), as I wished…
Not much informations on the job yet, only I’ll be working with hibernate and swing and that there is a lot of work. That mean a lot of coding and I gonna love it!
Tomorrow, I hit the road back to Paris to pack all my thing, so it will be ready for the mover when I find a place nearby. I’m in a temporary place for now, very nice but it’s to far (more than an hour).

I just discover conduit a synchronizing tool for gnome. It’s seems very promising.
I already synchronize google calendar and contacts with evolution and It seems to work. I know that synchronizing tools usually works on the first runs but in the long run it’s another story (I learn it the hard way).
It writen in Python, and maybe I could contribute to it.

At my work place my pc is under Windows Vista and I mostly like it and there is one thing that drives me crazy.
Several time a day, I try to delete a directory! After displaying a tons of confirmation the delete fails and most of the time I don’t even have any file open on this tree (I think this problem is linked to the fact that I use tortoise).
Deleting a directory doesn’t seems to be a current use case for Microsoft. Seriously, why can’t we delete a file when it’s open? What’s the problem? Is this just about having a bad idea and sticking to it?
I’d like a file system that doesn’t get on my way all the time, I have serious work to do, tricky issue to solve. A computer is a tools that should make my life easier, I shouldn’t spend time pleasing it instead of making productive work.

Last weekend I updated 2 of my computer to the lastest version of Ubuntu - Hardy, for once I tryied the update fonctionnality from the update manager. I worked on the laptop (lorelai), but the X configuration was screwed up on the desktop (belinda). I choose to do a clean install.
Next time I’ll try to switch off the nvidia proprietary driver before updating, because I think that what screwed it up.
My first impression is pretty good, I was pretty happy with feisty, and hardy just give you some software. Just one thing bother me: they switch to firefox 3 beta, but since I’m a big extention users, many of them don’t work on the new version, so I’ll probably downgrade back to the 2.x branch.

Etant à la recherche d’un emploi, j’ai mis à jour mon CV sur le site LesJeudis.com
Il n’est pas en ligne pour le moment, mais lors de la dernière mise à jour, je me suis aperçu qu’ils avaient rendu obligatoire le champs salaire. Je pense qu’il s’agit d’une grosse erreur. Dans le processus de recrutement j’ai toujours vu la discution sur le salaire arrivée à la fin du premier entretien. Je trouve qu’il est génant de devoir abatre ses cartes si tot dans le processus. Coté recruteurs, ils peuvent continuer à mettre ’salaire à négocier’, ce qui est bien normal puisque ce salaire dépendra de l’expérience du candidat.
Personnellement, j’accepte un salaire en fonction des responsabilités que j’aurais, des possibilités d’évolutions et, plus que tout, l’interet que je porte au poste proposé. J’ai l’impression que, comme souvent, quelqu’un à pris une décision sans vraiment avoir réfléchit au conséquence.
J’en tire une leçon en tant que développeur, il est important de ne pas contraindre l’utilisateur plus que nécessaire car il est difficile de prévoir d’avance toutes les utilisations qui seront faites du logiciel que l’on est en train de développer.
