It's been a while since I drop a line here... a real line I mean.

And it is quite amazing to look behind to see where I was a month ago... or two. This is, it was at least, the idea of an english page on this blog : to summerize the last period, have a zoom-out on the production of the last month.. or two.

Already the end (almost) of january ! Last december I was planning some readings in KM for the holiday but, having a friend home from Toronto who is more habilitated than me in the Unix and computers... It gave me the audace to download and install Movable Type on teh Unix server of our ISP.

The installation was so fluent... I could'nt resist the idea of knitting a few directories and hypothetical blogs for friends, as a new year's present ! So I worked (my wife would say like a slave) with enthousiasm to launch a collective blog, with some individual ones... made a PDF How to guide and a webmaster blog to follow the implementation... Four out of some 10-12 propositions were retreived par the proposees... Not a bad record ! Probably I chose the good ones !

I am thinking of a second wave, where I will ask to the 200 subscribers of the RQIIAC list... How many will answer ? We'll see.

Form the moment I am searching for the best "kit" for newcomers : MT blog + newsreader... Been discussing the comparative appeal of different products, most of them being in pretty hot development : Newsgator, Syndirella,  Hotsheet, Amphetadesk, Aggie...

And I changed the Radio's stylesheet of my blog... Thanks to Brian Bell ! It gave me a few more hints on CSS.

On another front, I'll be working during next weeks on the mapping of data from the last census in Canada (for my local neighbourhood).
