Suite aux affres de l’impérialisme francophone et des dictatures de la côte est, assistera-t-on a la naissance de la République de Cascadie?.
Et pendant qu’on regarde vers l’ouest, les japonaises, elles ont des modes vestimentaires intéressantes non? Jupes exprimant tout haut ce qu’on peut imaginer tout bas.
Une brosse a dents USB, made in Japan bien sur. Je ne sais pas trop quoi en penser.
Merci Fizzz
En me promenant tranquillement dans les bois, je suis tombé sur cet article. Ne reculant devant aucun sacrifice, voici un extrait remarquable, mais qui ne vends définitivement pas le punch:
C’est du pétage de bretelles! C’est comme les Honda Civic avec les gros ailerons. Si tu vas au Harvey’s du boulevard Labelle à Laval, tu vas voir le gars avec sa poupoune qui a le moins de linge possible.
Lisez chers amis, et commentez !!
C’est Sniters qui va être content de voir SA faire rire d’eux sur Pssst.
En cherchant un resto sur Internet, je suis accidentellement tombé sur ce
site mettant à la disposition du public une liste des contrevenants suite Ã
une inspection des aliments. Si certains contreviennent en ayant des
planchers trop inégaux, d’autres sont condamnés pour des contraventions plus
graves.
Je me suis dit que ce site pouvait être intéressant à consulter surtout
pour les amateurs de pizza 2 pour 1 😉
Animatrix. En attendant le film.

Update: oui, il y a un petit problème de date et de préséances. Les deux derniers billets sont intervertis. Bon côté des choses: j’ai appris et compris un peu plus le fonctionnement de mon logiciel-a-poster-sur-mon-blog
Disclaimer: I’m a Postscript snob.
Old news: Lexmark has been trying to use the DMCA to forbid third parties to make toner cartridges compatible with their printers. Apparently, since there is some sort of chip on the cartridge, that makes it DMCAable… (pronounce like DDOSable)
Late night induced flash: My limited experience with a Lexmark printer was a small Optra that had, I remember clearly, Emulated Postscript.
Not a genuine licenced Adobe Postscript engine mind you, but a hack, a bastard offspring of reverse engineering and interoperability exceptions that allowed Lexmark (and a bunch of other makers of cheap printers) to thus avoid paying a cent to Adobe in royalites.
So it’s not ok for others to make compatible consumable, but it’s fine to reverse engineer a PS engine?
Adobe has shown creativity in the past with DMCA stunts. I think that due to the growing acceptance of such stunts, it would be an interesting one to pull. Oh? PS does not have an anti-circumvention device?
Shrug… When I did attempt to debug a .ps file by hand… It sure looked cryptic enough to me.
When network technicians think about sex. It isn’t pretty. The storage capacity of sperm, the bandwidth (burst capacity) of an orgasms, latency of data transmission, and viable segment length.
Compare the Dow Chemical website with the Dow Ethics website
I asked myself if it was a spoof for a few seconds, until I looked up dowethics.com:
domain: DOWETHICS.COM
owner-address: Marylin Mircus
owner-address: 56, flowers road
owner-address: 321
owner-address: Bhopal
owner-address: India
And registered with gandi.net of course. Very well written though. Too well actually. I wonder how long it will last.

Thanks Fizzz
Mini-putt in Shockwave glory.
Long day. Headache. Could there be less fresh air in the ventilation system when it’s -16 outside?

I’ve been surfing the web for a couple minutes now, I absolutely forgot what it is I was looking for in the first place. The non-chronological history of Chimera makes it hard to retrace my steps. All I know is that I just ended up reading a couple sites about Kobe beef and Wagyu cows. I think I need sleep
Besides the History panel, another thing I miss in Chimera are subscriptions to web sites that alert you when the page changes. I prefer RSS feeds, but when worse comes to worse, they can be useful, especially for job posting sites. One last rant on Chimera: the Cookie alert dialog does not give me any details on the content and expiration date of the cookielike Mozilla does. If you drop down a sheet, why not put something useful on it?
Chain letters, hoax, virus alerts and charities. Before you press that forward button, check purportal.com. Please.
Ok, as I’m pretty settled into Chimera as my browser of choice, I’m weeding through many sedimentary layers of bookmarks, creating a couple multi-tab bookmark groups in the process. This is a great time saver to read my comics in the morning in particular, but also to get the weather on a couple sites at a time, get my favorites news sites all loaded at once. While I’m at it ‘ll take the occasion to share a few URLs.
Radio-Canada’s new page with a clean layout. Made to be accessible to disabled people. I love it.
Surrealist compliment generator in français. That’s what it is…
RedFlagDeals. I thought it was one of my China related links but no, it’s a site about internet deals for people living in that other North-American country.
The Axis Applet shows you common connections between countries. It’s quite ironic that the Afghanistan/Iraq/North Korea axis gives « These countries have not yet registered their Axis » (ok, but with Iran instead of Afghanistan it gives « axis of oil-producing border-disputers »). There is a whole bunch of little artsy code demos on that site. Wait.. did I just sneak « art » and « code » in the same sentence again?
Heavens above has all kind of information about. well.. heavens above, that you can customize for your location. Can’t see much of the sky here but I might have better luck in Morin-Heights.
Ever had a coworker who was stuck with a file he could not open? MacLink and GraphicConverter usually made my computer more versatile than most Windows-based machines in that respect, but if you don’t have those tools at least look up the file extension to know what kind of file it could be.
montreal city is a weblog without a RSS feed. But it’s a nice resource to keep up on local news. In that respect, YUL Blog is also a nice directory. I’ll get listed there once I get a real host.
alright, that’s enough for one post. Good w-e everyone. Apparently, despite what the website says, a couple more trail were groomed this week. Or maybe we’ll try something a bit more challenging.
