I found some nice bunnywabbit illustrations, by Bruno Bellamy. Here they are!

Pretty pretty. Bruno Bellamy not only draws pretty girls, he even has a couple of bunnywabbit ones.

As Bellamy has a sensible reproduction policy for somebody who publishes his art on the web, I’m happy to show you the two bunnies which caught my attention.

This first one is just a sketch, but I really like the hair and the carrot. The next one is in colour — maybe I should consider changing my pink layout to blue?

Bellamy allows personal website owners to reproduce a few of his pictures on their sites, under certain conditions. He has now added a new one: he does not want his pictures used on sites which brag “optimised for Internet Explorer”…

Well… what did you think a bunnywabbit looked like?

Thanks to Tristan for pointing out this artist to me!

Printemps [en]

Il fait beau, je vais bien, j’ai de quoi m’occuper offline ces temps.

Encore une belle journée d’avril qui me donne envie d’enlever des fils!

Du silence, encore du silence, je sais. Tout baigne, comme on dit. J’ai fini mon travail chez Orange, j’ai mon premier remplacement la semaine prochaine, et je m’occupe en jouant avec mon nouveau serveur dédié et en consommant de hautes doses de cinéma Lynchien et Al Pacinien.

Vivre plus, écrire moins, ça fait parfois du bien!

iBooked! [en]

I’ve finally got my iBook up and running, and I love it! A small list of things that still cause me trouble.

I got my iBook last Tuesday. I bought a router on Thursday, and I finally got everything hooked up yesterday. I’m now happily typing away on my sofa with not a cable attached, cat snuggled up next to me, xchat running in the background while iTunes is busy ripping through my CD collection.

Things have been pretty smooth. Basically, where I’ve gone wrong, it was because I was trying to do “too much” (ie, configure my wireless connection when all I had to do was turn on the Airport Extreme card). Still getting used to some of the interface particularities, but already in love with Exposé. Here’s a status update:

  • I still haven’t found the backslash key
  • the TTS functionality that comes with OSX is really horrible
  • I need to find a good feed aggregator
  • can iTunes name my music files “Artist — Song Name” instead of just “Song Name”?
  • I need to buy ViaVoice
  • need to get my fingers trained on Mac keyboard shortcuts
  • I miss Trillian, and particularly the MetaContacts feature!
  • I now know what a Disk Image is
  • damn, can’t find a keyboard shortcut for the “Back” button in Firefox
  • what’s up with July 17th in iCal?
  • one of the first things I wanted was Dock Detox to keep my bouncing application icons sedated
  • I love Quicksilver
  • Mac people are very helpful!

I’m officially in love with my iBook.
