Websites I find useful

Arrrgh, I just got tagged by Flore.
Five rules:
- Copy the rules in the beginning or at the end of your post
- Link to the person who tagged you
- Give the 5 websites you find useful, or that you use the most. Try to explain why!
- Tag 5 people, and let them know they’ve been tagged
- The meme doesn't have to stay in English :-)
Five websites:
- Windguru.cz is a pretty accurate wind forecast service that has changed the life of a lot of windsurfers. I check windguru every friday and I don't miss any good windsurfing / kiteboarding session: I’m always at the right place, right time — well, not always, but at least I don't drive 6 hours in my old, noisy van for nothing any more.
- Vim.org, what else? After several years using this incredible editor, I still learn new stuff every week. I could spend hours tweaking my ~/.vimrc, just for fun. Call me a nerd.
- dict.leo.org, by far the best German dictionary I know. Very useful when I post on kompozer-web.de. If I weren't so lazy I'd write a small Ubiquity script for this one.
- identi.ca is my preferred micro-blogging service: it’s open-source, it’s all about geek stuff and FOSS news, there's a very neat XMPP gateway… and it can be used to post on Twitter. If you use Twitter and if you feel concerned by open-source, you definitely should have an identi.ca account.
- Google News is the first page I open when I'm done checking my mails and RSS feeds with Thunderbird. I use it rather like a newspaper than for its search engine: Twitter is much more efficient to get the recent stuff.
Five victims:
- Julia Buchner, KompoZer contributor and my son’s hero
- Vivien Nicolas, Fennec contributor, to see if he's gonna ever use his blog
- Laurent Jouanneau, XUL master and Flash evangelist ;-)
- Sonny Piers, “just a fucking nerd” according to firebot but a good friend, too
- Dan Mosedale, because I owe him a beer.

Non mais pourquoi tu m'as linké lool
Je ne poste même plus sur ce blog en plus XD
Heureuse d'être l'héroïne de ton fils (sauf que mon nom ne prend pas de ¨ :D)
Pourquoi je t’ai linkée ? Bah pour faire chier, évidemment ! Y’a pas de raison que je sois le seul à me casser le bol à poster… :-D
Désolé pour le tréma, c’est corrigé. Et maintenant : au boulot, feignasse ! ;-)
