Thirty Years!

The fact that the last week, I posted almost nothing in any of my blogs/sites, is in a straight relation to the anniversary, I'm passing through.

Thirty years ago, it was the last days of May, I arrived in Paris. Thirty years later, that's a whole life, I have nothing to celebrate.


This was not the life I wanted to have lived. This was not the place I wanted to have stayed. This was not the people I wanted to have been among. This was not the purpose I wanted to have dreamed of. Finally, I've done it all the wrong way.

I'm just sad!

But ready to start all over!

Technorati crushes under it's own weight?

It's been several days now, I observed some serious irregularities on Technorati's behavior.

First, when scanning the site, sometimes you see your blog as updated some minutes ago, but on another page, the same blog looks as been updated days before! The tags show your last post on one page, three posts behind on some other. What is very bothering is that if you plan to use some of the Technorati's RSS feeds, say all posts tagged "moon", you don't get all latest post sent!

The most serious malfunction I found is the one that has started a few days ago. I send pings that Technorati completely ignores, some other times, it shows a blog as updated but the post won't show up in any query. And this whatever the ping method I use, be it a utility, an internet service, even Technorati's own ping trigger! That makes the RSS feed, a virtually unreliable service!

It's sure Technorati has grown up since the early days and keeps on proposing new services every day but I'm seriously wondering if the guys are planning to upgrade the machines backstage or Technorati is condemned to be crushed under it's own weight!

Will You Marry Me?

A new Apple Store rose from the ground Friday, at the Fifth Avenue, N.Y.

Apple installed a camera in frond of the Giant Glass Cube and broadcasted an accelerated view of the traffic.

This guy found it was a nice opportunity to Declare Love! C'mon baby, say YES!

Immigrants might be dangerous

Lots of noise lately about this Immigration Law.

In the beginning, I didn't get very much, why all that hustle. I called George and asked him about.

Not only he explained me all, in a crystal-clear demonstration, he even mailed me a terrible photo showing how these monstrous immigrants can be harmful for the integrity of the country, if they're let to get involved into public works.


Just figure out, what could happen if a peaceful citizen, horrified faced this sign! I must say, I'm now more than convinced.

  All Immigrants, Out!  

I won't forget to thank Dave Redneck for borrowing me the material.

Sandvox a plausible alternative to iWeb?

Works heavily in progress in Karelia Software. Dan Wood and Terrence Talbot work overnight to finish the last lines of this already famous web site creation software.

Comparing to Apple's iWeb, which is part of the iLife 2006 suite ($79), Sandvox stands on a level above. An easy way to build little personal sites, of course without its little problems of youth, but highly promissing.

One of the most interesting features in Sandvox is Pagelets. Pagelets are tools that help you incorporate pieces of external material, such as your flickr photos or an RSS feed, directly and without any hassle, into your page. Have a look to this page I built, in just a few minutes.



The final price of this pleasant software isn't yet fixed by Karelia however, if you download a free Sandvox demo, you give me the opportunity to save some $, when I'll purchase my own copy! And you have yours to see this software in action with your own eyes! and maybe build your own site with it!

How to tell things like that?

When a very good friend is suffering I can't stay still. But times come when my words may harm more than heal. It's then I don't show up. Not because I'm indifferent but because I care. You see, in such a moment, how to tell things like that?

Don't expect things to fall from the sky, they won't. Nobody's there to take care of you! All human misery and suffer rises from this terrible misbelief.

We build our lives alone, we sketch our future by ourselves, we sculpt our Cosmos by our own hands. What's good in a borrowed life?

There's no other way but learn to seek the happiness in our own achievements, learn to leave our sorrow behind. After all an Eagle flies high, that high no other creature can!

So, I choose to stay away of this "me too" parade. Let my absence be my humble contribution.

Mac and PC, friends for ever!

Have you seen the new Apple TV Ads? Cmon, let's have some fun! But, don't get mad at me! It's just for laughing! I know it's not that bad for PCs.

Phivos Talks Music - Just for the fun of the CSS Reboot!

I wanted to participate my own way to this year's CSS Reboot Fiesta. Some friends took the train and as I already saw, quite nice new designs came up the web.



I didn't subscribe myself to the CSS Reboot site, I just built another design for my ever stand-by project of that famous Phivos Talks Music site, I plan to build and I never found the time to.

Well, this time there's no more excuses. I start and I'll keep up with this project. And, whatever it may finish to be!

So, Phivos Talks Music! Every music, of any age, of any style. Good music has been everywhere. Let's have a little fun! For the moment, there is nothing in it, just the home-page for the design and a few pieces of code needed! But soon, I'll fill it up. If you like to hear about, just bookmark it and come back some time soon.
