Web 2.0

We now use a CMS and so can you…

After some time of long and intensive work, we completed our migration to our new infrastructure. We migrated our corporate website to a new server and we moved from a FreeBSD-powered server running Caudium to a Gentoo platform with Apache running on top of it. You won’t notice much, except …

Links for the end of October

I am bit swamped these days, and you must have noticed it by now. These things happen: lots of work items, lots of backlog, and lots of exhaustion as well. Since I don’t want to leave this blog « unattended » for even 2 or three weeks, I am posting today some …

Join us at the OpenOffice.org 3.0 Launch Party, 13th of October, 19h30, Paris!

More information and registration link here. To answer to the question many around are asking: No, OpenOffice.org 3.0 has not been released yet. Target date is now 13th or 14th of October, and there will be a RC 4 coming in on Monday. In the meantime, I hope to see …

Miscellanea before leaving on vacation

I have not been blogging for a week now but as it turns out, I have been microblogging. I do have a Twitter account but I am now using my Identi.ca account much more regularly. Of course microblogging does not replace blogging. I guess it opens a new channel for …

Reading list for a rainy July day

Here’s a very interesting, down-to-earth page about the iPhone by the FSF. It’s worth remembering this kind of issues that come along with the iPhone, as much beautiful and enticing it is.

Not so long ago I had written about some online tools I’m using daily. I have to update my position on some aspects of what I had written earlier. I had first explained that I was using three different online feedreaders, ( Blorq, Google Reader and Rojo) as I was …

Comparing online newsreaders

Today I will talk about some tools I’m using daily, namely feedreaders. It is likely that at least a good half of the people with whom I’m working use these readers in order to browse among dozens, if not hundreds of feeds. For the readers of this blog who don’t …

Could Cloud Computing be compatible with Microsoft’s strategy?

I don’t write that much about the overhyped “web 2.0” name, but this article from TechCrunch got me thinking. Could there be a new and an old Microsoft? Could there be the Microsoft we all know (Windows, MS Office, OOXML, monopoly) and another Microsoft (young, web 2.0-ish, cloud-oriented) and blissfully unaware of …

This hospital is making fun of charity funds

The title of this piece is an old French saying. You will soon understand what it means. Forget a moment about the Microsoft-Yahoo stories. They’re important, although even the best take on them, in my opinion, still largely misses one important element of the proposed deal: Namely, that such an …
