Longing for a really unique and luxury iPod again

The Washington Post writes about the iPod and how with iTunes it holds nearly 70 percent of the market. When I bought my first (and only) iPod several years ago it was a luxury product. The iPod has kept key functions and design concepts while getting smaller thinner and more powerful.

Even though the new iPods […]

WebWag : your personal page

A personal page service that allows you to choose what and where you add content, isn’t new, but when it just does that, then it quickly provides more than the others, with more freedom in the what (you add) area.
I recently finished work on a plug-in that provides personal page functions, so I appreciate the […]

CD et DVD vierges

J’utilise pas mal de DVD et parfois des CD, j’ai même gravé mon premier DVD double couche avant hier. Tel un enfant devant un jouet j’ai lu Nero qui me disait qu’il gravait la première couche, puis un peu plus tard la deuxième couche (et ouais c’était du X2.4) !
Je me faisais avec cette première […]

GoDaddy for Domains

I don’t usually write about services that I use and often see people ranting about things rather than helping you and saying this is a good service. So, today I had a great experience with a US based company called GoDaddy. I needed to register three domain names, a variation on the same domain (with […]

The article called “Facing Middle Age With No Degree, and No Wife” that spans four pages discusses the factors that have changed the demographics in the US; it used to be that men in their mid […]

No smoking

Last Saturday during a dinner with friends we started talking about the latest ‘Enjeux, Les Echos’ magazine. One of the articles covers the trend in the US whereby certain companies are refusing to hire people that smoke. There are also companies that are doing all they can to get workers to participate in sports activities.
Anyway, […]

Outlook refusing to start Word

Well this morning I was set to write to Mike to say that it was a pleasure working on the translation of his great article at ‘A List Apart’ and Word refused to start :
Microsoft Word is set to be your e-mail editor. However, Word is unavailable, not installed, or is not the same […]

Guys love the biological clock question

While I was in Paris I came across so many women of my age and slightly older that were, to put it mildly getting uptight about having babies. I recently had a girlfriend after two weeks asking me if I had thought about kids ! OK, we had been out before, but, wow, two weeks. […]

Searching a definition for blogs

I have only started blogging recently, even though I have been building web sites for nearly twelve years.
What I find interesting about blogs is how people define them.
I have tried to define blogs in two distinctive ways :
A (1 to 13) : from a functional and technical perspective

The thank you note that melted !

My dear friends Christine and François brought me a thank you note on Sunday. I’d helped out over the phone with Windows XP installation support. Passing on knowledge from having worked at a software company !
However, guess what happens when you put the thank you note on an external hard drive that uses the aluminium […]
