The big breakdown

The breakdown. After 9 years of almost uninterrupted operation, my Raspberry Pi broke down. It is a capacitor which finally burned. I think the site was down for several weeks, but I restarted it after fixing it. The 418 Error is back online!

How to replace line breaks with paragraph breaks in Libreoffice?

Here's the answer a an unusual technical question: In LibreOffice Writer, how to replace all the line breaks (seized with the combination of keys SHIFT + ENTER) with paragraph breaks (seized with the Enter key)?

It's simple but totally counter-intuitive. I decided to share my find here to find it later and so It can benefits to everybody.

•Run the find window (Ctrl + h)
•Check the regular expression checkbox
•in the search field and enter \n
•in the replace field, type \n
•click Replace all



It isn't a troll, replace \n with \n ... and it works...

Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones

I test Windows 10 for PC since weeks, but I had no device available to test the phone version. As I just changed my Lumia Lumia 625 for a Lumia 1320, I could not wait to test Windows 10 on the Lumia 625.
How to install it:

• First, you need a compatible smartphone: http://windows.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/preview-supported-phones
•  I recommend using a different phone than your primary phone because the system is not yet stable.
•  Register your Microsoft account in the program "Windows Insider" here: https://insider.windows.com/
•  Download "Windows Insider" application from the store or here: http://windows.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/preview-download-phone
•   Run "Windows Insider" application . Two operating modes are available for this application: Slow = more or less stable version or Fast = latest version with more bugs. For my Lumia 625 only the Fast option is working.
• Then go to the Update menu "Settings / Phone Update /check availability of updates"
• Install the update
• The phone reboots by installing the update.

Note that this is an update and not a complete reinstallation. The parameters and programs should normally be preserved. Unfortunately, in my case, the main menu was totally unstable. I was able to make it usable by resetting from the menu "Settings / System / About / Reset your phone." It then was reinstalled with a clean system while remaining in Windows 10.
 
Honestly, this system does not upset much compared to Windows 8.1. The most notable changes i see are in the settings menu that sound much more orderly and understandable than the old.

Windows 10 Technical Preview for PC

My transition from Android to Windows Phone 8.1 made me appreciate the value of  Microsoft Windows 8.1. The "modern UI" tile interface, which seemed ridiculous to me at first sight, became relevant after passing through the touch.

That is why I am following with interest the development of Windows 10. I am particularly excited about the GUI halfway between Windows 7 and Windows 8, the new Edge Browser (formerly Project Spartan) and the Windows Universal Apps, compatible for smartphone and PC.

The final version should be free for upgrade from Windows 7 and Windows 8, but it's not because it's free that you should not try before you install!

To download the ISO of the DVD to install the latest version Technical Preview is here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/preview-iso-update-1504

It still has bugs, so install rather on a test machine or virtual machine. I used it on an old PC with core2duo, and it's still pretty responsive.

Come back of the 418 teapot

Hello,

  My teapot and I were away from the web for several long weeks . I am totally overwhelmed and would have difficulty writing articles soon, but I still managed to find some time to reconnect the teapot.

 

See you soon.

HTCPCP extension: HTCPCP-TEA

An extension of HTCPCP protocol was published this week on IETF website. This new protocol is published in RFC 7168: "The Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol for Tea Appliances Efflux" (HTCPCP-TEA).  

This New RFC is available here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7168

The purpose of this extension is to allow service of tea. I do not approve this update at all. For me it is a sacrilege... especially in the morning. 

The teapot at www.error418.net is not yet compatible with the new protocol HTCPCP-TEA and will continue to issue 418 error. 

This new protocol can nevertheless be useful at five o'clock. An update of the teapot to make it compatible with the new protocol may be considered in the future.

One year of raspberry Pi power consumption

Oh my god! I missed my english version teapot anniversary post.

Power consumption was 1,7 kWh for december (and january and february)
.
Total power comsuption of the past year was 20,4 kWh.

I still have problem with my DNS, but i'm working on a new script

The return to a more reliable service has enabled 1,647 unique visitor went on the teapot on december, 2920 on january but only 502 on february beacause of big downtime issues.

The beginning of the year is also the time for accounting balance sheets, and here are the figures of the number of visits to different sites on the teapot.

For year 2014, I will continue to update my blogs with news about the teapot, but also other subjects. I renewed all my domains except 418error.net.
