I have been writing on Posterous.
Permanently Connected
In the past, having my computer always turned on kept me connected to the internet all the time. That means it kept me connected to IM clients like AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo and even Facebook. A problem rises when I am not in front of my computer.
Robin Hood on BBC One
I have been a fan of Robin Hood, the show on BBC One since it premiered in 2006. Since then, two seasons have aired and the third season has started yesterday.
Earth Hour is ridiculous
Earth Hour is what it’s defined as on Wikipedia. It’s whatever you want it to be and it’s just ridiculous.
Custom Facebook
Many people, myself included, don’t like the new face of Facebook. Many have created groups that give people instructions on how to personalize your Facebook page. They are all scams. There is no way to change the appearance of Facebook the way MySpace allows it. However, there is one way you can do it, but it will only be on one browser only on your own computer.
This is not for everyone, because it doesn’t take only a few clicks to get it done. You need Safari with GreaseKit or Firefox with …
Rebekka’s dolls
Rebekka has recently added a new category to her website: dolls. If you’ve seen her photos before, you might recognize that she has mimicked some of her photos from the past with a doll. Other than that, what I see in other photos are disturbing images of solitude, except for a few shots like the one with the two women and the one in this post. Go check out Rebekka’s dolls. I don’t know how you will react, but you will definitely react.
Renaming several files at once on a Mac
Mac has so many things built-in, like the ability to rename a bunch of files at once using Automator.
Design Bleu
I woke up this morning with the desire to make a new design for my website and so I did. I drew a sketch on my whiteboard. That only took 20 seconds. Then, I went to the bathroom. When I came back I started to turn the sketch into a visually elegant design. I quickly wrote the code and worked on the few images that are on the website.
The result is very good. It’s clean, elegant, classy, unified, tense, energetic, and …
Mac Tip: creating a file list of a folder
Open Terminal and type:
ls path/of/directory >~/path/to/the/textfile.txt
Or, you can also open your printer and drag the directory on the printer icon.
Why are people looking down on the web when compared to television?
I blame YouTube and all the crap people put there. I also have a lot of crap there too. YouTube and many other places are big buckets of smelly crap. Some of that crap is very cool, but it’s crap nonetheless.
Freeze @ Complexe Desjardins
Yesterday evening, there was what is today globally known as a “freeze” at Complexe Desjardins in Montreal. Over 1000 people were present and they all stopped moving for about 4 or 5 minutes. In that small time span, I treated everyone like those English soldiers that aren’t supposed to move. In any other context, I would be weird, but everybody there was pretty weird just for being there and doing that.
Taken (2008)
Taken stars Liam Neeson as Bryan an ex-CIA preventer and a protective father with a 17-year-old daughter, Kim, who is going to Paris on vacation with a friend. Upon arrival, they are kidnapped, but Bryan gets a chance to listen to what happens and to threaten the culprits just to be wished luck in return.
One Life Teaser
One Life is web series I am preparing for next year. It’s a drama, suspense and thriller. There could be some action too, but I fear that word. I fear it will take the drama away. The reason I started this is mainly because I am sick and tired of seeing shows on the web with hosts. I also find there is a lack of fictitious content with regard to online shows.
One Life can be described by all the words on my whiteboard. The characters will …
I should have blocked Internet Explorer 6 users a long time ago
Internet Explorer 6 has been the bane of every web designers, developers, programmers’ existence. We all make websites work in Firefox, then we all test in Safari, Opera, Flock, etc. and to our heart’s desire, things just work. Our tests reveal that, there is nothing to change. Everything just works. It sounds reasonable to stop there, but we can’t. Many users are still using Internet Explorer 6 which happens to be the last browser in which we test and this is where all hell breaks loose.
