  1. Why does #Apple #Ping insist to have my credit card number to register? I have NO intention to buy anything. #fail
  2. @bortzmeyer Mieux vaut payer 400€ pour une version neutre du HTC Desire qu'accepter des ROMs bidouillées des opérateurs. MàJ problématiques.
  3. RT: @silentlennie: .eu now also has #dnssec <- but my registrar does not support it #fail
  4. k9 +AGP can sign emails with PGP on #Android. Some iPhone users are desperately waiting for this. http://www.thialfihar.org/projects/apg/
  5. CyanogenMod vs stock HTC Froyo. What is gained ? What is lost ? Any idea ? Thanks. #Android
  6. K9 Mail on Android rocks! Much better use of screen real estate than stock #Android mail client http://code.google.com/p/k9mail
  7. ITunes 10 available Jobs says? I only get an "iTunes 10 coming soon" notice on #Apple web site. #fail #liveapple
  8. @belgacom_eva_FR votre domaine skynet.be est blacklisté: http://pra.im/6ycr4q Source de problèmes pour vos clients ?
  9. @julien_collin Ca m'en coûte de le dire, mais je ne vois pas mieux que #Belgacom pour l'instant. Scarlet, c'est BGC, version Aldi.
  10. @mneylon FB is back here.
  11. @mneylon Yes. Facebook BGP issue in Europe it seems.
  12. Due to unexpected circumstances, the rain on Luxembourg has been cancelled today. We apologize for the inconvenience.
  13. Surenchère: Bart de Wever demande le transfert des gaufres de Liège et de Bruxelles vers la Flandre. Onaanvaardbaar #begov
  14. #IETF discussion list should be rebranded "frequent flyers" list.
  15. @bortzmeyer @pbeyssac J'ai trouvé le lien sur BGP@AMS-ix dans Google tout simplement. Les listes privées ne le restent pas longtemps :-)
  16. Closed mailing lists are NOT the right place to share confidential information. AMS-iX BGP incident is a good example http://pra.im/wfzyat
  17. My ISP is boosting its VDSL speed to 30 Mbits on 1st September. But still no IPv6 in sight. http://pra.im/3z2eyt #belgacom
  18. Dutch ISP XS4ALL introduces IPv6 for its residential customers. Well done XS4ALL! I wish you were my ISP.http://pra.im/tc7g6r
  19. Funny: The new 4G mobile network is deployed in the less populated area of Belgium first http://ict.belgacom.be/proximusnetworkupgrade/
  20. @wikileaks Why Dutroux debate now ? Because Wikileaks was unknown in Belgium 16 months ago. No-one interested in other documents in English
