dedibox and awstats

My dedibox kept crashing because of awstats apparently. Every 2 or 3 days, I needed to reboot it electrically. I advise you to deactivate this module in the cron jobs, unless you have time to deal with it. On another subject, I posted a nice video from Google on xQuant that talks about a practical use of inference to unsupervisely discover structure among texts.

Blogs et dépendances

If I look at my subscription habits, I mostly subscribe to blog that are either
  • Very specialized on a technical subject
  • At a forking point on a topical and applicative subject
That is why I prefer to split my blogs between
  • my technical geeky posts about Linux, MacOs, and other system-oriented issues on Technofinance
  • my math and theoretical posts on xQuant, which intends to be more of an applicative forking point
I would be interested to know better about the way readership actually perceives and structures its reading...

Wikimedia, Ruby, php, plesk, Apache all working together and being friendly to each other

In a brilliant demonstration of technical expertise and non-conformist brio, that is, of utter elegance, xQuant is now equipped with a Wiki section that will enable users to render their thoughts in plain English and Latex.

This Wiki is particularly meant to be used to develop themes including inference, categories, and stochastic finance.
