Starting to play...

... with this new toy. Until I found Anthony Eden free weblog, I was poking around trying to choose what to install (PHP preferred) to do my weblog. This is an endless trip when you have no strong goal. Every implementation has its pros and cons, and eventually, there is no clear cut winner. I've  […]

Another wasted day...

... but with some fun nonetheless. I went to a local store and bought the 3 last albums of Sakamoto Ryuichi, and it's really expensive. I still can't realize that I've spent so much money for those three plastic discs. Another part of the day was spent trying to find out some standard software  […]

Spaces are back

Ugo Cei mentionned Spaces today, it can be found here. Obviously, he's not satisfied with the news aggregrator he tried, neither do I. Why has nobody coded a simple, effective and free news aggregator ?

.Net new release, I can't help, I'm angry

Why do advertisements rule the world? Why .net has got that momentum? Is it revolutionnary? No. Is it free? No. Just because it's marketed by the first software company, not known for its innovations, we have to endure all this advertising, FUD campaign, books, public proofs of love, and soon  […]

Useless rant

Today a cousin caught a virus on her PC. What more needs to be said? The PC runs Windows 98, the mail client is Outlook Express, period. Thanks M$, you did a great job for all the virii developpers on this small planet. Thanks for providing so much funds for the antivirii companies. Even if they try  […]

Building the infosphere, portals should revive

A thing I always loved in Dan Simmons' Hyperion, is the accessibility of information in the infosphere. A space where the information you need is there and accessible. Currently, the web is far from being that, but it's changing, slowly. I would like to be able to track those changes, and I'd like  […]

Fed up with Feedreader

It crashes more and more often, and its a memory hog. But I've other things to code before I try to do a news aggregator.

"JSR-14 blows and .NET rocks"

Today on Andy Oliver weblog, JSR-14 blows and .NET rocks, Windows Still blows and other happy thoughts : Engage a feverant Java zealot in a discussion about the short comings of EJBs and they'll tout the advantages of Appservers. Correct them: "I'm not talking about the concept of app servers  […]

fp ! Joking by the way...

Feedreader 2.3 is really crappy. The user is unable to say what this software is doing in the background, whether there is some network problem, or website problem, but most of the time this software is the problem. Every time I use it, I feel like I should write my own, and I think it's going to  […]
