De retour ce soir

Désolé, pas de nouvelles mises à jour avant ce soir. Une grosse journée en vue, déplacement à Mouréal. D'où la mise à jour matinale.

AceDesign1 Pro

Photoshop? Très puissant, mais pour la convivialité auprès de simples utilisateurs, on repassera. Et c'est normal, à 700$, Photoshop est un progiciel conçu en premier pour les professionnels. Pourquoi ne pas se rabattre sur un excellent produit en français, qui vous permettra d'en faire quasiment autant, pour un prix toutefois ridicule. AceDesign1 Pro.

Virus Klez

Klez: Don't Believe 'From' Line. Why are Catholic priests sending porn spam? Why is a Grammy Award-winning band's e-mail list automatically subscribing unwitting users? These are just some of the victims of the raging Klez virus. By Michelle Delio. [Wired News]

Et si vous n'avez pas encore d'antivirus, parce que vos moyens ne vous le permettent pas, laissez-moi vous en suggérer un gratuit, qui fonctionne très bien.

À savourer lentement

Discussion with Jakob Nielson and Vincent Flanders. "exlink" "english" CIO SAT DOWN for a discussion on website design with Jakob Nielsen, cofounder of the Fremont, Calif.-based consultancy Nielsen Norman Group, and Vincent Flanders, creator of WebPagesThatSuck.com. Nielsen, a respected usability expert, and Flanders, known for his sharp commentaries, agree that there are a lot of poorly designed sites on the Web. But the two experts don't always see eye to eye when it comes to theories of how websites should look and feel and how they can stand ... [cognitiveArchitects News]

Le service à la clientèle chez Userland, ça existe?

Radio Userland Meltdown

If you have been unable to load this website since about 7:30PM Saturday, it is because Userland's servers melted down. During a planned maintenance event, the servers were disrupted and the whole weblogs.com system died. Userland customers are furious, and this is perfectly natural. Most incredible of all, Dave Winer personally censored remarks on their support board that were critical of the handling of this problem. This the epitome of unprofessionalism. Dave sure can dish out the flames, but he can't take it when he gets well-deserved flames in return.
If you are considering purchasing Radio Userland, I strenuously urge you not to buy it until they start treating their customers with professionalism and respect, and can demonstrate some measure of basic technical competence at server operations. I am producing a lengthy document that will explain the multiple problems with Radio, and will post that document soon.
It is so typical for Dave Winer to whine about how internet video delivery sucks, and post his rant at the very moment I was unable to deliver my video because his servers suck. Dave, if it weren't for your company's incompetent server administration, I'd have proved you wrong. You're wasting time writing in your blog about your scheme for delivering video with RSS, I'm already doing it. Or rather, I would be doing it if your servers were administered competently. [Disinfotainment[dot accent]]

Bon, enfin! Un carnet d'importance qui remet les pendules à l'heure. Le service à la clientèle chez Userland, ça existe? C'est dommage car Radio est un excellent produit, et qui plus est, au centre d'une petite révolution, celle des blogues (carnets). Mais pour oncle Dave, l'homme qui a un égo plus grand que la galaxie NCG 3344, c'est la faute à tout le monde, sauf à lui. Wake up Dave, grow up!

Sans commentaires

In case you haven't already seen Robert Cringely's article about his son's death from SIDS, please make sure you go read it now. What happened is heartbreaking. It shouldn't happen period. If you can do anything to help, please do, even if it's just to spread the word. [The Shifted Librarian]

Max Headroom

Y'a quelqu'un qui a TechTV qui pourrait m'enregistrer les 14 épisodes de Max Headroom, une des meilleures séries de télévision américaine des années 80!!! À Québec, pour cause d'incompétence de Vidéotron, on ne nous offre pas TechTV... [CFD TechnoLog]

Comprenant les angoisses existentielles de CFD, ayant eu à subir les mêmes alors lorsque j'ai manqué la dernière de "La vie, la vie", je sympathise et je m'offre.
