Using Qt4 with Microsoft Visual Studio

Since a few weeks, I really have to show you a nice tool to make Qt programing easier with Microsoft Visual Studio.
I've named autoBuild, a nice tool which integrated Qt compilation inside Microsoft Visual Studio. It could replace the actual commercial solution sold by TrollTech but I don't know the differences between the two solutions, because the one from TrollTech is just available in commercial pack, and I never bought the latter one.

You will find the howto to install it on the Qt Center wiki.

Freeze Oslo

That's it, I have assisted to my first freeze party today.
I knew theses type of events, because there are a lot of groups about this subject on internet. The aim isn't really complicated: just stop moving during five minutes to show how the world is running faster and faster. You could find a lot of examples videos everywhere, like this one, one of the most famous.

It's very surprising when you arrive in Oslo central Station and almost everyone isn't moving. Very funny and original to see; some guys tried to be creative with funny posture. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera this time :-( But memories are in my head.

Monument of Scandinavia

One of the great monument of Scandinavia that a foreigner tourist have to visit is undeniably the Ikea store. It is so popular that the firm has established a special Ikea bus line just to go from the center of the town to the shop, and back.

You will be just very shocked to have bought most of your stuff in the center of the city instead, when just seeing the far cheaper prices there, at Ikea; I experienced it myself!

TGV online

La société de transport propose un service d'accès à Internet sans-fil dans les rames de son parc ferroviaire. Cette offre s'appuie sur les technologies Wi-Fi, UMTS et satellite pour assurer une connectivité à 300 km/h.

[ atelier.fr - "Le Thalys, un train à haut débit" ]

Voilà un progrès intéressant, dommage que ce ne soit pas compris pour tout le monde dans le prix du billet, déjà assez cher. Enfin... cela évoluera.
Espérons que ce soit généralisé à la SNCF[1].

Cela me fait penser que ce genre de service est assez développé dans les transports à Oslo[2]. J'ai vu cela l'autre fois en prenant le bus pour partir en week-end (possibilité de brancher des écouteurs pour écouter les pistes proposées par le bus, boissons offertes, et diffusion internet).

Notes

[1] genre sur les lignes que j'emprunte souvent ;-)

[2] peut-être plus généralement en Norvège, je ne sais pas

Picking a marathon entry list by getting on your feet

That's it! After finding a good sponsor[1], I've now subscribed to one of the marathon of this list. You will see here, I'm the second french guy who has subscribed to the Glitnir Oslo Marathon \o/.

Fear of Norway

Norway fear

The following is a small picture found somewhere on the web.
This picture was taken on a cliff of Prekestolen in Norway. I wouldn't know if I would like to do some sightseeing in this place, because I'm just not able to think about it.
