====== La playa de ~niol ======
This is where I do sand castles, and where I sometimes drown.

===== Real life stuff =====

You can reach me at <alexandre.rossi@gmail.com> or sometimes on Jabber at the same address.

And I live in [[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Toulouse+France|Toulouse, France]].






===== OSS stuff =====

I sometimes post at [[http://linuxfr.org/~niol_/|linuxfr's]], at [[http://www.debian-administration.org/users/niol|debian-administration's]] and I read [[http://slashdot.org/~niol_|slashdot]] on a daily basis.

Talking about what I read, I maintain a [[http://www.google.com/reader/shared/02289016646118425604|feed of OSS news items I find relevant]].

I have written a set of [[oss:debhowto|howtos]] for Debian.

I sometimes play with a number of projects that I keep in a [[http://sousmonlit.dyndns.org/~niol/darcsweb/|personal Darcs repository]]. Among those, there are :

  * [[oss:kint]] : A multi-user weblog system with contact info based on [[http://smarty.php.net/|Smarty]] (abandonned)
  * [[oss:multiplicity]] : A frontend to [[http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/|rdiff-backup]].
  * [[oss:lazygal]] : Another static web gallery generator with ''Makefile'' like features.
  * [[http://mroy31.dyndns.org/~roy/projects/deejayd|Deejayd]] : An advanced networked controlable media player daemon.
  * [[oss:aptrepoindex|APTrepoIndex]] : A basic personal APT repository (Debian packages repository) index generator.

My GPG key id is ''1024D/B1663870''. It should be available from a keyserver.

===== Professional stuff =====

I work as an engineer to help improve air traffic control computer systems in France. Hopefully more to come here.
