Misc stuff...

• Howto install OpenBSD 4.3 as server-gateway-mail-dhcp-and-so-on.
• Status page for mozilla ports on OpenBSD.
• CGit for my public git repositories.
• Howto weave together GIS data, mapserver, OpenBSD and OpenLayers.
• A map of wher OpenBSD-developers live, more or less accurate...
• Another map using the same datasource, but using the awesome uMap
• Contributions for SME Server : e-smith-sme6admin, which became smeserver-sme7admin.
• xfce4-mpc-plugin, a plugin for Xfce panel permitting to control MPD.
• Some ports for OpenBSD (since may 2007 i am happily maintaining Xfce in OpenBSD thanks to steven@ and ajacoutot@, thx again !)
• yargla, a small perl script to update your Last.fm profile from MPD.(old src)
• cmixer, a small mixer made for OpenBSD in perl & curses.
• up2date, a list of OpenBSD mirrors sorted by 'snapshot freshness'.
• update-notifier, another perl hack to show a popup when ports are updated.
• clean_unused.pl, yet another 4-lines perl hack which lists unused packages, which can be safely removed.
• pkg_mgr, a package manager in perl for OpenBSD, ala aptitude/synaptic.
• <prosel>I am an active user of so-called 'free unices', mostly OpenBSD, which i promote actively. I write news and tips on websites about free software like GCU, and i also follow and help development of Xfce and OpenBSD. Thanks to my previous job, i maintained one of the OpenBSD official mirrors, just here. Oh, and now, thanks to kind people providing hosting, we (with ajacoutot@) maintain ftp.fr.openbsd.org, which serves approx. 4Tb/month to OpenBSD users.</prosel>

Hardware pr0n

Here's a list of various computers i own, most used only sporadically (no, i don't have a rack or a data center @home, nor free & unlimited power..) for OpenBSD ports testing - we try to run on several architectures, and hence we have to run wide tests :) If you have a question on some of those boxes, you can drop me a mail.
