A9.com search engine.
The consequences on your privacy

...
After a couple of minutes, I thought about it and I find that this cannot be done by magic. I remembered all books that Amazon proposed me when I logged in with my personal account, they were most of the time really interesting. Then I thought that this would probably be the same thing with the A9 search engine. There is the result of my little research, some tips and comments for your privacy about this search engine of a new kind. Personally I’m a big customer at Amazon, I buy approximately 30 to 40 books by years on there website. However, I’ll not use the A9 search engine because I don’t want that Amazon know not only my customer habits of reading but also all other subjects that I search for on the internet. I can deal with the fact that Amazon.com uses my customer habits to propose me interesting new books. I can deal with this because this can point me out some books that I never think of before. However, I don’t want that they propose me many others things. I need to control the pub that popup in my view. It’s what I do by doing the choice of not using this new search engine.

Weblogs as knowledge management tool.


I send this post because today I find this really interesting article about blogging. It first describes the knowledge: what is it, how it’s done, the process of knowledge, etc. After, the author lists some tools for knowledge management like email and weblog. It describes the utility of weblog for personal purpose and how weblog is a useful tool for knowledge management.


I think this is an important article because we need to understand how this new type of web publishing can be used in our life and for our constant quest of knowledge search.

Finally, by reading this article you’ll know how I see this weblog. You can read it as a howto to read my blog. I also had some other motivations to write here; like try to increase my English writing ;)


PS: The author emphasis on the fact that people can post there comments to enhance the blogger’s thought. It’s why I tell you to leave your comments on my posts =)

What is important? The attitude!


The university as restarted. The northern life in Canada is also restarted. Everybody is going back to there normal activities after summer. People are coming back at the Thai boxe courses. Half-new, half-old, the normal schedule is restarting.

In a year, you see many people coming to try the sport. Some like, some don’t. However, what’s really interesting is to talk to them. This week a new special girl (lawyer of the law of woman (“droit de la femme” in French, I try a literal translation here)) has come to try. She comes 2 times and every time she said to anybody, “What’s important is The Attitude”. Why she was saying this to everybody? I think it’s because she just restarted training and that she had a lack of cardio and what was important at this moment for her was The Attitude.

I just think about it. Why now? Dunno. The thing that I know is that she was right. She was right to say that what is important is The Attitude. The Attitude is at every level. If you want performance and results, you need attitude. In training? You need attitude. In fighting? You need attitude. You had bad news? You need attitude. Finally, she was right. What’s important is The Attitude.
