I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of geeks suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
Ce soir, à minuit, Google va arrêter le service google reader. Des centaines de milliers de geeks à travers le monde seront désemparés et se jetteront sur les diverses solutions de remplacement en train d'être développées autour du monde.
Perso, j'hésite entre newsblur , feedly et the old reader. Les 3 ont leurs avantages et leurs inconvénients, the old reader ne supporte pas encore d'appli android mais ça ne saurait tarder vu que leur API vient de sortir, et leur layout est mon préféré, mais j'attends mon compte gratuit de newsblur pour me faire une opinion définitive.
La fin du monde approche, bonne chance à tous.

My new keyboard
I bought a few weeks ago a mechanical keyboard, the QPAD MK-85.
And well, it rocks. It's the ideal tool to type text or to play any kind of video game. Cherry MX Red switches are ideal for me, light and without the tactile point that annoyed me so much the past 10 years, even if I didn't know it :)
And it looks nice, especially in the dark with the backlighting :)
So, if your work makes you use your keyboard a lot, either because you're a pro-gamer (lucky you) or because you're a writer or a coder, don't hesitate to get your hands on one, even if they are a bit expensive : it will change your life, no kidding.

My new computer
As well as my new screen, my old computer and my old screen.
Desk is as clean as it will ever be, so I'm taking some pictures, to remember how it was in a few years ^^
Pretty geeky setup, you would think. Maybe, but it's also very efficient :
- there is a KVM you barely see on the top of the left tower to switch between the 2 computers. The old one controls the screen on the left, the new one controls both screens. Not like I often boot the old computer nowadays anyway.
- The hard drive you see on the right is connected to the freebox server and adds 1 To to the NAS server hosted by the freebox. To come, a true RAID1 NAS server. No idea where I'll put it though, maybe against the wall.
- The glasses come from the NVIDIA 3D vision kit. I was happily surprised by the rendered quality in some games (HL2, Dragon's Age, WoW), so I don't regret the buy.
All in one, I'm actually proud of myself on this one :)
Installation of the new computer went well, around 2 hours from receiving the (heavy) packages to finishing the install of Windows 7, all drivers included. Everything works well, or so it looks like. Maybe some issues with USB3.0, but not really game breaking at the time being. It'll wait until I actually have a USB3.0 device to plug in.
I've no idea what I'll do with 2 To of RAID0 space, time will tell I guess. The SSD drive works amazingly well, Windows boots in no time - not the system, the BIOS startup is actually quite long, with the RAID0 and the big GFX card - and once booted everything goes superfast.
Now I won't have to change computer for well, at least 2 years ! Okay, maybe 3 or 4...

I has new computer
Well soon anyway, it was shipped one hour ago and should be home tomorrow.
Intel Core i7 2600K processor on an Asus P8P67 Deluxe Rev 3.0 motherboard
2 x 4 Go of DDR3 RAM Corsair PCI12800 CAS 8
1 Club 3D Geforce GTX 580 1586 Mo RAM graphic card
1 OCZ Verex 3 - 120 Go SSD to host the system and a few applications
2 Seagate Baraccuda SATA Revision 3.0 - 1 To HDDs mounted in Raid 0
1 Asus VG236H - 3D screen with Nvidia 3D Kit System
And some other cool stuff like a Corsair Obsidian 650D tower or an Antec TruePower 750W 80+ Bronze alim.
It's going to be legend...wait or it...DARY !
More as soon as I have received and installed it. And yes, I'm kind of excited, it has been a long time I wanted to try the Nvidia 3D system, and this piece of hardware should be able to deliver some flawless gaming experience :-)
