Yay! I got a great cool free site meter. Peek at the little shiny square at the bottom of each page.
And hey, that means I have graphics on my site at last!! hehee.

RIP Music Section [en]

I just realised that I forgot to mention I had killed the music section. If I want to suggest a music pick to you, I’ll do it here.

Apart from that, I’m not really happy with the look of my site. I’ve tried changing all the fonts to Verdana, but I’m not even sure it’s better. The size of my titles collides with my text.
Sure, teeny winsy fonts look much more “pro” – but I have such a hard time reading them that I can’t bring myself to put them on my site.

I know my site lacks graphics, I have been planning to put up some pictures for nearly a year and a half, now. Only before that, I need to sort my slides and scan them – as for creating graphics, forget about it: I can’t draw to save my life.

The “comments” feature is now functional (except it doesn’t show the number of comments on the link), so go ahead and use it as much as you please – I’ll be happy to read them comments, you know…

There – done with the whining. Though if you have any constructive solutions, I’d be glad to hear them!!

Comments Coming [en]

While checking out my “places” these last days I noticed a really cool “comments” feature in jo’s weblog.
I’m currently implementing it on my site, and I’m very happy it uses PHP – I love PHP! – so don’t worry if it takes a day or two to be functional…
Here is the code for these comments. More information at blogger discuss developers forum.

There. Done. Too late.
I’m becoming more and more like the common weblogger.

Offline [en]

I hardly go on the net these days. I’m overbooked, for one thing, and I don’t have a computer – for another.
I’m starting to miss India a little. Probably because Somak, Aleika, Akirno and Cali are coming over next week-end on their way to Birmingham.

I’m seriously considering merging the music section with this main weblog. As far as I can see, it doesn’t really make any sense to keep it separate.
Maybe one of these next weeks when I find a computer and a little time…

Netscape Ph33r [en]

I have hopefully managed to fix the style sheet glitches. The other day, I had the chance to have a glimpse of my site through Netscape 4.5 on a 14-inch monitor.

Terrifying experience.

Archive Index [en]

The archive index is now functional. You can go and visit used logs as often as you like.

You should see a few changes around here in the next week or so, mainly a “writing” section that I am putting up for your eyes and minds.

    Avec un TDAH, ça revient toujours à ça: on veut faire quelque chose, quelque chose qu’on a envie de faire, pour de vrai, mais on ne le fait pas. C’est la fameuse difficulté d’initiation de tâche. Quand il s’agit de faire le ménage, les impôts ou la vaisselle, tout le monde comprend bien qu’on peine … Continue reading "Faire les choses qu’on veut faire"
  • Vrac avant reprise de travail11.10.2025
    Je peine à trouver du temps pour écrire, ça c’est pas nouveau. Ce qui est nouveau, c’est que je me suis rendu compte, ces derniers jours, que quand j’écris pas il y a une sorte d’accumulation de charge mentale qui se crée. Pas juste de “l’activité d’écriture” remise encore et encore à plus tard, mais … Continue reading "Vrac avant reprise de travail"

Et les choses publiées “apparaissent” comme des publis dans les réseaux sociaux “fédérés”, autres que facebook donc: … Continue reading "Sortir de Facebook? 1. Micro.blog"

    Start with part 1 (activities), then part 2 (interaction). Sorry this 3rd part took a little longer than intended to come out. In parts 1 and 2 of this series, I covered some types of activities (reading, writing, responding, sharing) that come into play in the text-driven social web, as well as the different flavours … Continue reading "Rebooting The Blogosphere (Part 3: Integration)"
  • Brains Get Tired Too27.09.2025
    It’s funny how physical tiredness is not something one would think to question. It seems pretty obvious. We understand that if somebody has spent decades using and abusing their body, they’re going to face consequences as they get older. If you’re doing extreme running, hundreds of kilometres, or an insane amount of walking, crossing continents, … Continue reading "Brains Get Tired Too"
