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.

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 […]

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) !

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 :

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. […]

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

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 […]
