It's a quiet Sunday afternoon, four days after the conference, and I find myself thinking about what Chris Anderson said comparing the internet and the human brain, about the Open Stack and its ability to compete with closed environments, about the opposition between the Marc Simoncini's "rules" and the regular web2.0 business, ....

Every year these two days are the opportunity for me to take some distance with the everyday life, get inspired by great people and think about the future.

Congratulations Loïc and Geraldine !

I saw these videos several times during the campaign, with always mixed feelings, you want to laugh, but, at the same it's so unbelievable and scary. Now that we know that the bad Disney movie was just a scenario, it's time to watch them again ... but just for fun !

In what respect Charlie

Foreign policy

It's gonna be all about job creations

What newspapers or magazines did you read ?

Is Africa a country ? (bonus, this one is recent)

According to Google Webmaster Tools, GoogleBot had a problem crawling my blog on September 6th. It's described as a "General HTTP error", no HTTP error code, and the URLs are removed from the Google index, which is the most annoying obviously.

I sure my blog was online this day, so, I googled a little, and it looks like I'm not alone in this case, same problem here and here, also starting on September 6th.

Posting this note will ping the Google API, lets see if it helps GoogleBog to find its way to my blog again :-)

Update-17-09: It looks like Google is working on the problem.
Update-25-09: Still not fixed for me.
Update-15-10: Finally fixed, my Google traffic is slowly getting back.

7777 news to read in my aggregator, I said to myself, if you blog that you really have nothing else to blog, ... and that's true :-)

I should clean my feed list or spend more time reading them, but yes, I'm still using Vienna, (since this note). Not much activity on this open source project these days, is it dead ? Should I switch to something else ?

Two years ago, I blogged about Le Tour de France, and l'Alpe d'Huez. Since then, every year I know which day is this stage just by looking at my blog stats :-)

I just watched this video on Gizmodo. It makes me remember the hours and hours, I spent playing with Legos. I remember I had the big starship at 5, and the castle, and the fireman car, and ....

Que de souvenirs !

Thanks to Joi Ito, I just learnt that FF3 now supports Color Profiles, very interesting reading, and you should also follow the links in the Joi's post, especially the comments on flickr .

I made a test with one of my photo:

Left to right: FF3 with color profiles, FF3 without color profiles (default), Safari.
This is correct, the one in the middle looks desaturated.

... Yes, elsewhere, but at the same time on this blog, ... aggregated. Thanks to the great Action Streams plugin written by Mark, you'll find all my actions (on Digg, Twitter, Ma.gnolia, Vox, Del.icio.us, ...) on this page.

I'm back for another two months stay ! Still working on TypePad, lot of work to do. Exciting !

Tweets here, Photos there.

and don't miss this video.

This post is announced on my twitter using the MT-Twitter plugin.

Back from the "nuit blanche" in Paris, tired ! Photos are here.
oh, BTW, France - New Zealand: 20 - 18 :-)

I like the direct link to the Changelog (this is missing in the CPAN RSS feed), but maybe this too much traffic for Twitter.
