What's in there ?

About me

Hi! My name is Maxime Petazzoni. I was born in France in 1986 and I'm currently a computer science student (BS+MS) at the University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard (utbm.fr). I live in the city of Belfort with my girlfriend, Mee. If you read French, you can follow our adventures on my weblog !

In 2007, I made a six-months internship at Google Inc, as a software engineer in the company's headquarters in Mountain View. I worked in the Localization Team, building and maintaining the tools and the infrastructure of the localization workflow for Google products and content. I took part in the design and implementation of new parts of the localization infrastructure, reducing both the localization latency and its associated costs across all localized Google products.

I will graduate in February 2009 and I'm currently looking for software engineer positions (internship and full-time). If you're interested, you can download my resumé in French or in English. I also have a LinkedIn profile.

Hosted websites

The story of Bulix.org started with a website and blogging engine named Zwe I've been working on. Back in 2003, I bought this domain to point directly to my blog (based on Zwe of course), but with the accumulation of stuff hosted on my server, my blog is now only a sub-domain. Here's a non-exhaustive list of things that are hosted here you may find of some interest ...

Weblog

My weblog (mostly french). Random bits of life, projects, news and opinions. This is where you'll find more about me!

Zwe

Zwe's weblog engine very own website. Written using PHP and MySQL, it aims at being fast, modular, simple and easy-to-use. I've been working on it (slowly) and using since 2003, and now even other people are using it! Ah, and it's open source :)

LCD4Linux

LCD4Linux is a small program that grabs information from the kernel and some subsystems and displays it on an external liquid crystal display. By far the most advanced and powerful utility for displaying any information you want on an LCD.

Pastebin

Bulix.org's code pastebin. Simple, efficient and with syntax highlighting. For private pastes, go to the private pastebin.

Misc

All Bulix.org websites are hosted on my small and faithful server named Frog. It's a mini-ITX based machine in a 1U enclosure. Boasting a Via C3 1Ghz processor and 512MB of RAM, this tiny and low-speced server have been doing a really great job since this domain's creation, and I hope it will continue doing so :)

The machine itself is hosted by eNiX.org, a hosting company based in Paris and providing a reliable 100Mbits/s connectivity to Frog.

For Bulix.org's email users and SSL users, I'm keeping here, as up-to-date as possible, the SHA1 fingerprints of the self-signed certificates used by my server.
