Conférence BlogTalk 2 [fr]

La Conférence Européenne sur le Weblogging BlogTalk 2 aura lieu début juillet à Vienne (Autriche). A mon avis, une occasion à côté de laquelle la blogosphère francophone ne devrait pas passer, une chance pour ceux qui ont quelque chose à apporter à la réflexion générale sur les weblogs de se faire entendre, indépendamment de leur célébrité médiatique.

Dernier délai pour soumettre vos propositions de présentations: 17 mars.

Papers to this conference should be concerned with blogs as an arena of exchange: the exchange of ideas, opinions and information as well as dreams, visions and knowledge. Addressing the topic of exchange contributors may consider strategies, consequences and benefits as well as rhetoric and aesthetics.

Linkball [en]

Right, and there is all the stuff I wanted to put here and can’t remember just now. Expect updates.

Giant Squid [en]

The giant squid is a pretty interesting creature, though we know very little about it.

Beware of the Past [en]

Don’t make a fool of yourself in cyberspace. It will catch up with you one day. There is the google usenet archive and the Internet archive wayback machine, too – remember.

Oh, and don’t send spam! (Yes, sending me your résumé in hope of employment is spam – especially if you’ve sent it to dozens of other people as well.)

Underground Web [en]

Just when I was thinking I had absolutely no excuse to use my new little toy (i.e., blogger), I stumbled upon Zeldman‘s Second Site column, a commented list of cutting-edge sites, or the Underground of the web.

This gives me a little excuse to let you know that not much is happening in my life (so I won’t say too much about it). Work is OK (I almost manage to do a day’s work in half a day), the cat is looking increasingly forward to strolling in the grass again (though he still doesn’t know it will happen soon!), and my father (my own father!) asked me where I had copied my Thoughts from.

So, let it be said once again, loud and clear: I wrote them. There : )

I will be away during next week, cooking food for a bunch of little scouts, so don’t expect much posting around here.

And while I’m at it, to give you something to do while I’m away, I’ve uploaded another song in the music section, with the lyrics.
Very nice song. Check it out!

Astounding [en]

I’m posting quite regularly at Astounding these days.
I also discovered CitizenX – a rather cool place to hang out. Contact me if you need my nickname at any of these two places ; ).

Two personal sites caught my interest:

  • First, [the bwg update]. After having spent a year in India, the site of a person living in Hong Kong could only interest me.
  • Second, CannBoys. Though I must admit I didn’t spend much time on the main parts of the site, I had a really good time (so did my brother!) trashing the web.

Apart from that web-news, I have started work. The three first days of instruction were a bit of a bore – the kind of days that leave me wishing I was a little less swift and a trifle more dumb.
Lots of time spent amongst students, professors and other smart people can make you forget what the Real World Mind is like.

Update 01.06.2004: Astounding is long gone, as its (short-lived) successor Fathom5. It was nice while it lasted.
