Some months ago, I updated my laptop with Mac OS Snow Leopard. I didn't notice that my Macfusion stopped working because of the update; but when I tried to use it, I didn't take the time to look for a solution since I generally expect that everything should work out of the box for this computer; I put the problem aside. Then, I randomly found a special MacFusion build working with Mac OS Snow Leopard; just wanted to share this link in case someone had the same trouble.

About web browser migration
By Chty on Sunday, August 1 2010, 00:35
Internet Explorer 6 is old; almost nine years old, and trust me, in software IT, nine years is old.
A long time ago, a movement to kill Internet Explorer 6 was born: lots of websites came out with special warnings for this web browser version. The aim is to get rid of it because it produces lots of pain for web developer to adapt their own website to this web browser.
I unfortunately think that these movements are most of the time useless. Here is why.
When going to see friends or family, I sometimes need a computer to see or show something; the result on their Microsoft Windows XP is often the same: they still have Internet Explorer 6 installed; I often experienced this while there was a pop up, at each startup, in the bottom of the screen approximatively saying "Hey since months, I have been telling you that there are updates to do, just click here". Lots of users don't care about updates. I came in this situation so many times, even with some IT people that I made the conclusion that even with lots of warnings the user will not necessary do the updates. It will probably be done when he changes his computer and upgrades to a new operating system.
Perhaps Google made a good choice to automatically update their web browser, and updates should probably be installed by default.

European Athletics Championships
By Chty on Wednesday, July 28 2010, 22:16
I totally understand that everybody can't be fascinated by athletic sports, but championship after championship, I'm still watching my TV. It gives me more and more motivation to continue my amateur training. The last 100m won by a young French man was amazing.

Counterfeit vibram five fingers
By Chty on Sunday, June 13 2010, 12:35
Some weeks ago, I decided to try the vibram five fingers shoes; I started to look for the best prices because the official website seemed too expensive for me. I found very interesting discount but, according to birthdayshoes.com it appears that some websites are selling counterfeit vibram five fingers shoes! The prices were indeed too low to be right. Some weeks after I saw on the the official website that the official brand is trying to fight this problem. Checkout the official resellers before buying!

Trans'authie 2010
By Chty on Saturday, May 29 2010, 11:19
Last Saturday was my third participation to the Trans'authie race. Unfortunately it wasn't a good one for me; I didn't slept enough the last nights and so I had some difficulties finding energy; moreover I didn't get good feelings while running.
Anyway, it was a very sunny weather, quite good for crossing the river. The track has changed again: perhaps a little less mud but more sand dunes.
My time, 01:16:57, seems good to me despite my bad feelings. The announced distance is approximately of 15km, but it always depends on the track they can find across the Authie bay; it would be interesting to get results from a GPS.
Like on others races, you can get a massage at the end, thanks to the physical therapist school from Berck, always a great pleasure.
Some numbers:
rank: 44/161 finishers (42th men)
time: 01:16:57
average speed: 11,70 km/h
NB: the event was used to be in August, but since this year, it should be around May-June; I don't know why. Probably that it will take some time to get as much participants as the previous years.

Salicorne 2010
By Chty on Monday, May 17 2010, 13:00
On the 13th of May the race called Salicorne took place not that far way from the well known Le Touquet town. You can compare this race with other races like Transbaie, or Trans'Authie: same distance, same area, same conditions: each race crosses a river: the Transbaie is crossing the Somme river, the Trans'Authie, the Authie, and the Salicorne, the Canche. It's a lot of fun, especially when running through heavy mud.
It was my first try for this race, and it's really a great race, trust me; like the others you don't feel the kilometers: always distracted by the landscape, or just by where you should put your feet! I even found myself with water up to my chest. The water was somehow cold but you get used to it along the way; we fortunately got sunny weather. I'm really looking forward to running it again.
Some numbers:
rank: 127 / 800 finishers
rank: 64 among senior men
time: 01:21:49
