I created my account on their website, and successfully validated my email, but could not ever access the domain validation interface. For those who struggle on that too, here is the key point you need to know :

No Comments, CNAM, by goutnet.

Well, it’s been some time we didn’t speak mathematics and electronics here, so let’s fix up things and do some applied communication filters. This post is mainly for my co-student who are working on the ELE203 examination (as me), which willbe held on this saturday (never too late to study huh ?)

Sorry guys, this blog is full English, so this page will be in English as well, but maths are international, you’ll get it for sure :)

Well, I’ll be giving some hints on the correction of the 2003/09/06 exam, let’s see how far I can go on that :

French expats, you’d better be kidding me !

3 Comments, Blog, by goutnet.

It’s been a while since I had time to write on my blog, (and I have so many things to answer in there, especially on some gpl projects out there), I’ve been in China since my last post, hence I’ve been busy (very busy)…

well, I thought there were some interest in being a French expat (or working abroad), so I googled a little bit, and here is what I found:

Some people told me you don’t need to pay taxes if you work abroad for a certain amount of time, well it’s wrong:

  • As mentionned in the above article, your activity must be in construction field, ressource mining, or sales.
  • If you are in construction you’ll end up after 183 days of work to have some exonerations of tax
  • If you are in sales, and your activity is about installing a new company abroad, you’ll need 120 days
  • In any case, you can only “not pay” taxes relative to your salary when you are abroad (120 days/183 days), but that does not concern the rest of the year.

Isn’t it great ? I mean wouldn’t it be great, if I were ever working in those fields…

Install a Brother DCP750CW scanner/printer under Debian amd64

No Comments, Debian, Linux, by goutnet.

A while ago, I  bought a Brother DCP750CW and installed it successfully on my computer, unfortunately, my hard drive crashed … and I had to reinstall my system… Nevermind, this time, I’ll take this chance to write a little tutorial !

This tutorial describes:

  • Installation of the scanner connected via ethernet
  • Installation of the printer, using cups

Requirements:

  • The printer must be connected to the network
  • You must have a debian Linux installed and root access

This tutorial is intended for Debian Unstable amd64, but most of the points can be adapted to other distributions
