Julien Valroff's weblog and personal homepage
First blog, first entry
I finally decided to open my own weblog. Not that I have much to say, but I discovered this *can* be a good means to talk about my personal projects, explain my ideas, and maybe learn from others’ comments. This blog will complete the already existing kirya.net website, but I will also certainly be pushed to broach more general topics. However, do not expect me to speak about the music I listen to, or things like that. Who would be interested anyway?
I chose to install WordPress, as it seems to be the more flexible engine for the future needs, and allows quick posting through the Gnome Blog applet.
Please, do not hesitate to leave your comments and suggestions.

4 years blogging
about 7 months ago - Comments Off
My blog has just celebrated its 4th birthday. 161 posts, only 190 comments, but the statistics shows a stable increase in the number of visitors (in average a bit less than 500 unique visitors per day). During the week-end, I have worked on upgrading WordPress to the newer 2.9 release, and have just finished optimising
Moved to London!
about 7 months ago - Comments Off
Well, I haven’t moved myself, but my server is now hosted in the new Linode datacenter located in London. The migration has caused a downtime of more or less 4 hours yesterday, time for the data to cross the ocean. The migration was successful, though you might still experience issues to connect to the services
HADOPI II law adopted
about 10 months ago - 1 comment
The HADOPI II law was finally adopted on September the 15th by the Assemblée Nationale. Guess what? My local representative, who wrote recently a very nice letter against this project, voted in favor of this law. This is not a real surprise, as it has also happened with the HADOPI I law last May, but

I have received an official letter from my local representative, in which he sums up the recent events in the area of the HADOPI law.

French income tax e-declaration
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
As usual, I have chosen to use the online way of declaring my incomes for the French income tax. This year, I could declare everything without any issue using Iceweasel and Icedtea on Debian GNU/Linux amd64. However, I was unable to sign my declaration using my certificate. I have tried installing sun-java6-plugin, which allowed me

As expected, the French HADOPI law was voted earlier today by the Assemblée Nationale. As expected, my local representative voted in favour of this law. I had however kept a secret hope that he would abstain for this vote, following to the email I have received from his assistant following to our meeting. Mr Vannson

HADOPI – meeting with my local representative
about 1 year ago - 6 comments
Following to the email sent regarding the French law known as “HADOPI” (I blogged about it a few weeks ago), I had a meeting this afternoon with my local representative. This half an hour meeting allowed me to explain my fears regarding this “firewall” which could be set up on French citizens’ computers to enable
Controversial “Internet and creation” French law
about 1 year ago - 6 comments
I wasn’t sure to really understand this project of law until I read a lot about it during the past days. As some of you might already know, this law, called “Internet et Création”, but mainly referred as “HADOPI” law 1, is a “Three Strikes” scheme to fight against illegal downloads proposed before the last

It is also good to know you are a Debian maintainer, ’cause I use Debian often.
