Here we are! the photos section has been revamped, with addition of two new galleries: flowers and Akirno.
The new design still breaks in IE5Mac – do let me know if you have any suggestions!
Principe RDA: Répété, Déformé, [en]
C’est ainsi que nous parviennent la plupart des informations, que ce soit de bouche à oreille, ou bien via les médias. Réfléchissez-y une secode: qu’est-ce qu’on répète? Ce qui nous marque d’une façon ou une autre. C’est un fait accepté que l’on se donne la licence (pas toujours poétique!) d’exaggérer un tantinet les paroles que l’on rapporte, afin de garantir que notre interlocuteur les trouvera également marquantes, et verra l’intérêt que nous leur avions trouvées.
Il n’y a rien de mal à ce comportement innocent – mais il fait parfois bon de rappeler son existance.

Somebody told me you were waiting for photographs of India. Well, I’ve heard you. The first batch is up, with a new layout too: welcome to Markal.
I’ve implemented the new layout for Lausanne too. The gallery index is not complete though, and might land in empty directories (depending on where you try to go!).

I’ve been playing a little bit with the text size (removing pixels!), so please let me know if it is better or worse for you now, or if you see really ugly stuff… screen dumps from Mac browsers and different resolutions (than my 600×800) are most welcome!

Every now and again, I bump into something on the web that moves me.

A couple of months back, there was Lance Arthur’s very last life serial.
Today is the Gay Pride in Sion. You make the links.

Standards [en]
If you’re trying to convince a client to go for a standards-compliant layout using CSS, you might find these CSS talking points very useful.

If the Kaycee fiasco raised your interest about cyberpathology, here is a very interesting article on cybersickness (exploring Munchausen and its consequences).

When you look at the bright full moon in the sky above, can you feel wonder at the fact that it is a far-off satellite illuminated by the sun?
Web [en]
I’ve just discovered All My FAQs. All My FAQs is a wiki, which means that the website is big Perl script driven by the contributions of an open community. For example, anybody can modify any page or even create new ones.
I usually believe that anarchy cannot be productive, but maybe the wiki is a counter-example. It shouldn’t work, but it does!
I’m also very much aware that some areas of the web turn out to be collections of collections of links, or FAQs to FAQs. Is there any way out of this? Most of the time, the information is there – it is just useless because people cannot get at it. When a list of “pointers” gets exhaustive enough, it also starts getting too big and confusing. I guess there are some information architecture issues at hand.
