La MaisonPage de Guillaume Leconte

First of all, I highly recommend you to read this article [243 KiB, PDF]. Quite funny and insightful, it's really worth it.

The following is random stuff. You can also take a look at my github profile.

dropletfs, a FUSE file system for cloud storage (e.g. amazon s3), using the Scality Droplet library. I'm currently working on it, check the git log (README).

loggedfs, some minor patches on this project, which provides some debugging facilities for FUSE filesystem development.

hamming, compute the Hamming distance between two files, or other distance, according to the given algorithm (README).

fdup, a small tool to find duplicate files within given directories (README).

junkie, a powerful network analyzer (README).

bday, play with the birthday problem (README).

A small article [PDF, in french] submitted at JNRDM'05 (Journées Nationales du Réseau Doctoral en Microélectronique); the big picture is how data scrambling sucks as a probing attack countermeasure.

I recently wrote a documentation [HTML, TXT, in french] about unit tests in C.

A tiny article [TXT, in french] about good habits to have when using POSIX signals in C.

dico, a very stupid shell script which translates words from/to french/english, or grabs and displays french definition of a word. It does exist only because I'm way too lazy to start a search in my browser. Example:

 $ dico fr fool
                URL: http://dictionnaire.tv5.org/dictionnaires.asp?Action=5¶m=fool&che=1

                > fool (nom) idiot. imbécile. nigaud. sot. dupe.
                > fool (verbe) mystifier. berner. Expressions : To fool about: faire l'idiot. traîner."

dewm [screenshot][201 KiB, 2001], my very first "program" coded in C/OpenGL (and nearly the first C code I dared to commit), many years ago. Almost nothing works, it's ugly, slow, randomly segfaulting, etc. Its only value is in BSP usage.

simd.c [1,4 KiB, 2002, HTML], a PoC about matrix product, using intrinsics (SIMD instructions). The main purpose was to use the trivial algorithm (in O(n^3)) then optimise memory accesses (using Straßen or Winograd, means cheating).

pc [149 KiB, 2002], compiles pseudo language (graphic scene description language) to postscript. Written in OCaml. Here are some sreenshots: Von Koch's snowflake, Sierpinski's carpet or Mandelbrot's fractal.

IMDb [7 KiB, 2007, HTML], a little stupid and funny script, cf. this link (in french). Example:
```
	$ imdb -s -d alfred hitchcock
	URL: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000033/
	Please wait while processing......................................................................
	[alfred hitchcock] Average rating: 7.20/10
```
I just wrote another ugly-but-fun script relying on the previous one. It displays the rating curves of people. Example:
```
	$ imdb-graph "bruce lee" "chuck norris"
```
And the output is a PNG file like this. I also wrote a poor front-end in PHP here. Please, do not blame me for the lameness of these scripts, they're just jokes.
