The day I change my blog layout, I've received two books: Paper Prototyping: The Fast and Easy Way to Design and Refine User Interfaces by Carolyn Snyder The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams What I fear is to find plenty of mistakes and ugly things in my new layout after reading those […]

Hier à Paris, la manif de ceux qui veulent travailler
jeudi 26 juin 2003. Regional news
Vu au journal (je n'étais pas sur place), la manifestation des gens qui veulent travailler, et qui ressassent l'éternel couplet "les grévistes nous empêchent de travailler, ceux sont des nantis, qu'ils nous laissent gagner nos vies, nous qui ne sommes pas des privilégiés". A part le fait […]
java.net: amusing misbehaving
jeudi 26 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
Following a link wrongly typed on Fred Grott's weblog: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2003/06/10/desing.html Note that design is wrongly spelled. What should a normal server return? A 404 right? In a normal world yes. But you know SUN and the way they do standards... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC […]

Le droit de manifester et de faire grève existe mais il n'exclue pas certains devoirs. Mes amis, nous sommes la majorité. Allons-nous souffrir indéfiniment qu'une minorité irresponsable […]

New layout soon
mercredi 25 juin 2003. Tout venant
In the next few days I'll put a new layout for this blog, removing completely this standard theme, for something lightweight, very CSS oriented. By the way, looking at my referers, I see this: http://wwwi.if.se/devforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=81. Unfortunately, wwwi.if.se doesn't seem to exist, […]

In Rude tourist stories, Andy writes: Europeans can't stand non-carbonated water for some reason ;-) May I suggest some trips in different European countries before saying such false things? :-)
Fiscal Pressure (3rd)

Below is a copy of a comment I made on Keith weblog. In page 35/90 (page #38) of http://www1.oecd.org/publications/e-book/0102071E.PDF , the column "Disposable income of average production worker" is interesting. It's not exactly the stat I was speaking about, but I think it demystifies […]

Nice sunny day... Some work to do, some Gnus to reconfigure. I guess I found my format for little pictures: 320x320, SilkScreen for the signature. Saying that after putting 2 pictures on-line is a bit... pretentious. Well, I can live with that.

Remove this flash out of my sight
samedi 14 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
For some months now, Mozilla is my primary browser, and now all the links to Internet Explorer have been remove from menus, toolbars, folders... And except for one or two brainfucked sites, I don't launch it more than once a month. This is mainly due to loosy coding, with static checking of the […]

XML only with RDF?
jeudi 12 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
ajeru says in "Never use XML without RDF": To use pure XML for describing semantics is terribly inefficient and a big step backwards. It's a step back from a logical model to a purely physical representation. XML should be used only as a data transfer mechanism for higher level languages […]

Tenkû no Shiro Laputa (Castle In The Sky) in theaters soon
mercredi 11 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
At least Laputa is released here. I failed to mention that I was looking for this soundtrack, soon released by ULM / Universal. I wanted to know if it was the 1986 or the 1999 version of the score. It's clear after seeing the release official site that this is the 1986's one. By the way, this site […]
Comments on "What's New in Visual Studio .NET 2003"
mercredi 11 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
Found a reference on OSNews on this article[3leaf.com]. I can't resist to comment some parts. There are a couple of things worth pointing out right off the bat. First you can (and may have to) install both VS 2002 and VS 2003 on the same machine at the same time. They will operate side-by-side just […]
Les limites de l'expression publique

Dans l'affaire de Lyon Mag et des producteurs de beaujolais, le Lyon Mag va peut-être un petit loin dans la mauvaise foi. Leur interviewé fait une descente en règle du beaujolais, dans le style à part les dix crus du beaujolais, tous les autres ne font qu'un jus chimique à partir de raisin pour […]

Blogging industrialization: the race

A new era has begun. Today a blog has comments, trackback (is pingback dead?), referers, a GeoUrl, BlogChalk, BloggerCode, is linked in NewsIsFree, Syndic8te, Weblogs.com, Technorati, TechNews, javablogs, BlogShares, LinkedIn, neeeeeext.

Flowchart program?

Does anyone know a flowchart drawing program? DiaGen was promising, but it's a little buggy. Nothing seems to be released using neither GEF [eclipse] nor GEF [tigris]. Perhaps someone will have the time to do one with SATIN. […]

Are JSP worth the pain ?
vendredi 6 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
I've done JSP for almost 3 years now, and I can't understand anymore the ecstasy around it which seems to reign in some circles. At the beginning there was HTML, and HTML was cool. And then some spirits thought they could do applications inside a simple web browser, denying its most powerful feature […]

Dangling locks
mercredi 4 juin 2003. Cyberpunk
In Office, when you work on a document on a "windows share", a lock is put. This is the same approach in Visual Source Safe, exclusive locking. Most of the time, it's completely useless, because there is someone in charge for the file edition (but the Office programs don't let you view a […]
