Getting things done with attention deficiency
People see me as an efficient and productive developer, but as many people I am very easily distracted and this productivity is only the visible outcome of an internal war that has been spaning several decacades. If you also find yourself struggling with guilt of not getting things done fast enough, I hope some of […]

Buildling a Kubernetes cluster in my basement
For some recent customer work I had to deploy some Docker images on Kubernetes, but didn’t want to setup a full-fledged cluster (nor pay for one) as it was going to be a temporary environment anyway. I therefore dusted off an old PC I had laying around in my basement, and decided I would use […]

Powerslide SUV Next Renegade 125 Review
I remember when the Rollerblade Coyote commercials aired in 1997, I was really into skating at the time, and lived in a small town surrounded by forests and dirt paths. The idea of skating on uneven surfaces was a dream of mine, but the price tag was crazy high for the teenager I was so it remained a dream for a long time. Most reviews are a few years old and it wasn’t easy to cross-reference opinions about these skates, since the branding and models have evolved a bit over time. Here is a 2020 review of the SUV Next Renegade 125 skates by PowerSlide.

Goodbye BitBucket
Around 2008-2009, I had the chance to work together with Python pioneers at Logilab when at a customer.They are great supporters of the Python ecosystem and used (at least then) Mercurial for all their code versioning needs.Coming from a CVS/Subversion heritage, I quickly found Mercurial to be a vastly superior solution and embraced it enthusiastically.

openpyxl repository change
Hi everyone, today I have decided to move the official openpyxl repository to a new location: http://bitbucket.org/openpyxl/openpyxl Why the change ? Because I am no longer the main contributor on the project, and I felt that I did not have anymore the privilege to have the project tied to my sole name. Also, as I’m not the only one to work on the […]

Openpyxl 2.0.0
This is a very important milestone for the project as version 2.0.0 is now tagged. This means we are confident enough to have it tested in the wild, despite the few changes required to enjoy it fully (mainly in styles department). As you might have noticed, even though we are sometimes backporting fixes to the […]

Upcoming changes for openpyxl
I’m announcing the last (or at least what I believe to be the last) 1.x release of openpyxl to be imminent. I’ll try to quickly fix all compatibility issues that arose since the last release so people can start using the development branch in other python versions than 2.7.5 … 2.x versions will then follow, […]

Why openpyxl development is stalled for now
I thought that I could communicate a bit more on why things haven’t seemed to move too much since my last announcement about how openpyxl development was going to rock in 2013. In January, I turned 30, but I also became pretty sick, and what was first diagnosed as simple cold was in fact a […]
