Recently I have been caught in a troll with a friend who told me he dislikes docopt, and prefers to stick with argparse. Ever since I started using docopt, I love it and see no reason to stop using it. So we’ll see why after the break…… ≫
There are many online platforms offering repository hosting, though they all suck at one thing, it’s to integrate nicely in the flow of coding. Some have a GUI tool, others integrate more or less in your editor (or IDE), and that’s rarely the ones you’re using for your work.

That’s how I came across a W3C working paper about a very simple technology based on HTTP/1.1 long-polling, called EventSource. The full story and real code after the break…… ≫
At Le Loop hackerspace, we often get broken, old or unwanted weird devices. Then recently we were given two Led Matrix displays with a technology from the 80s. First one was a one line with red led display and the second one was a green multiline display. So, here is a little story on how I managed to pwn them.… ≫

I just released my Master’s work done during my Internship at Bearstech. The code has been released under GPLv3 on my github. The goal of that project is to build some kind of distributed middleware that stores and share data across different nodes (whatever they are) indexed by metadata. For instructions on installing and using it, please read the wiki page.… ≫
