Hoi !
Many thanks to Gisele and Mei-Lyn for sending me some extremely rare delicacies from Reunion Island!
I finally got a hand on them after they stayed blocked at the customs and the post office for weeks. Apart from the loss of one can of achards de palmiste, everything is in good condition.
Now, I can’t wait to taste them :-)
Cheers all.
Aujourd’hui, j’ai eu un flash(back).
Dans le film Matrix, le moment ou Neo marche dans la rue (dans la matrice) et voit la belle blonde en robe rouge, il marchait en fait sur le trottoir de Sydney au niveau de Martin’s Place.
Fichtre, diantre et queue de poisson !
Initiated in the UK and already exported in Brazil, “Play Me, I’m yours” is an art performance sponsored by the Sydney Festival 2009 that will make thirty pianos readily available to members of the public during next January 2009.
The revolutionary thing is that they will be left outside, in the street, anywhere accessible to you and me. I can already imagine the impromptu gigs that will sprout across the city!
Once more, it feels good to live in Sydney :-)
This Danny Choo’s article presents a different approach to design a portal landing page and it chooses to change/adapt the contents to users rather simply.
Actually, his portal directly asks users if they’re new or not. If they are, it shows them the introduction of the site with simple descriptions about each sections of the site.
If the user considers he is a regular reader then he can choose the second option and a cookie will keep this choice for the next times. He would apparently see more detailed contents about each sections.
While this part could admittedly fall into the marketing trends of web2.0 (aka dynamic module mixtures), it just asks you what kinds of feeds you prefer and it proceeds to adapt the contents to your selection. One could argue that it’s not very “interactive”, but ultimately, this is not the point, since here, contents are mostly static – or portal generated.
Just my 2 cents that this Portal Design will be flourishing soon after the Ajax illusion fades (as it did for me).
But maybe you have a different interpretation for such design?

My birthday was celebrated recently and the amount of unpublished photos on Flickr has reached a dangerous high.
New resolution: I hereby state that I’ll publish one album per week until I’m done with them. So be it!
Ahhrgh! There’s more than 500 pictures!

Ahhhhrghh! C’est qu’il y en a plus de 500 !
Although Facebook applications are the real value of this social networking platform, it’s still important to exercise caution as to what application you’re about to install.
Remember the “Secret Crush” application? This was a widget claiming to reveal who among your virtual friends is your secret admirer.
It seems that a web advertisement firm used it to lure users to install an adware on their computer and many did!
Not the first and certainly not the last… Be careful my friends :-p

Overshadowed by the clouds, the thin air frozen,
Whenever that happens, it's as if winter came,
Still there's a warm light shaping the world around me,
I'm good, and you?
