Implantation Bleeding Or Yeast Infection?

Migration of this blog under Wordpress

Ok, that was long ago that running through my head is now done. After several weeks of work to create a new blog, edit the template so that it meets my needs, and then migrate, verify and correct the articles and comments looGeek on the new blog, I invite you to see the result the following address:

http://faaabulous.free.fr

It is therefore the new address of this blog (and its new name: faaabulous) . I invite you to update your bookmarks, the site will no longer http://loogeek.blogspot.com made day.

For the record, I used the excellent Blogger RSS Import plugin , which I greatly ease the task. It is on this kind of thing that we see the power of Wordpress as compared to other blog tools. For those interested on how to do, do not hesitate to contact me via email or in comments to this article.

Finally, for many subscribers to the RSS feed looGeek , I also invite you to update your player to the new RSS feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/faaabulous . That said, the old flow looGeek remain operational and will he, updated with articles which will appear on faaabulous (at least for a few months while everyone migrates ...).

Ip Wow Receiver Sweden

Google Reader in offline mode

Great news for all addicts to RSS feeds using Google Reader , leaving a small plugin made in Google, "Google Gears , to retrieve your RSS to view them in offline mode.


Concretely, once the plugin installed, you have a little extra button at the top of your Google Reader, which you must click to go offline. The items are then downloaded and stored locally. You can then go walk in the middle of nowhere, far from civilization, and any Internet connection, while viewing your favorite blogs. When you return, click on another button to re-sync everything, and you're back online. A breeze, I successfully tested for you!

short, definitely something that makes Google Reader, the RSS reader son the most convenient, in my opinion. Have now to implement this system on Gmail and Google Calendar , and I am the happiest of men.

What Noisemakers Can I Use At Cheer Competition

A new design for looGeek

Here, I'm working for some time, I could not stand the design of this blog. But courageous step for 2 under, especially with Blogger which is still not practical to re-designer, I had to find a template with a minimum of mouth.

I pass directly on the various templates provided by default on Blogger, all of absolute sadness. After some research, I finally falls on the elected: Erudite 1.0 , found on I Blog - You Blog (note the recent availability of Erudite 1.1 , but on the same template 3 columns). Advantage, this template is in xml, so I can now fully exploit the features of the new Blogger (formerly Blogger beta).

short, after some modifications and customisations by it, by then, I get something about right. I may make further changes in the coming days, but the base is there and presentable enough to switch the final blog on this new design.

Among the customizations implemented, I share with you some links that helped me a lot:
yet I would like to a modification, which is to integrate the form for adding comments directly into the body of the article and do not have that damn pop-ups. I have found a way to do, but for now I can not get it to work on my template. And on the few blogs where this hack is in place, the result seems to me completely stable. In short, it deserves to do some additional research, but I do not give up! (If one of you has a solution, I'm interested ... and thank you avoid "passing under Wordpress, loser!" O))

So, hoping that this new design will please you and be indulgent few days while I check if the result is correct in most browsers, and if I make the necessary adjustments. It goes without saying that for now, it works better on Firefox than Internet Explorer, but is it really a surprise? Meanwhile, I'm interested in any comments critical to further improve this design ...

Too bad as the rain, but that's exactly what I need. I who had the foresight to invest in a cordless mouse with battery (I would have done better to hang me on that day), I'll finally be able to save money. The pack of 2 AA batteries (or LR6) batteries costing about 16 €. It is available at USBCELL and available at no additional shipping cost for France.

For information, available shortly on the same site, the AAA (small), 9V batteries (the square) and batteries for mobile phones, always on USB rechargeable. Class!

Joining RoundedCornr I wrote about here , the site My cool button allows for him very easily generate pretty buttons style web2.0. In just 4 steps (define width, color, any icon and text), you get a nice button to display your blog / website to give it a style "fashion". Come on, hop on looGeek immediate implementation, with a new button for subscribing to the RSS feed. Below are some examples of the possibilities.

Coffe Tables , Small Tables To Buy

News Google's time ...

first new on Gmail , with the ability to attach up to 20MB per mail, instead of above 10MB. Well, of course, most ISPs do not receive emails of this size, so it will be necessary to send such mail boxes as Gmail or Yahoo Mail + others, etc. ... (Ah, because you still use the mailbox of your ISP you?). Finally, coupled with the excellent Firefox extension dragdropupload , which can attach files in Gmail by simply drag and drop, it becomes very very comfortable.

second new Google Translate on , now offering to translate your research into a desired language, search for sites that match you and write them down in your mother tongue. Example, you search the term "computer" on the German sites, so Google translates as "informatik" (ok, not hard!), Conducts research and offers two columns of results: the right, the original sites in language German, and left their translation into French. Quite effective!


Finally, the release of Google Calendar / Calendar mobile version, available on phones that supports xhtml, cookies and SSL. Coupled with SMS notifications , this function proves very convenient to not miss any appointments.

Kates Playground And Riven Riley

4 days completely "offline"

The WE of the climb, with its bridge, allowed me to go and decompress a little land of foie gras, truffles and duck confit. Program, relaxation, sun, good food and scenery. Only drawback major of these 4 idyllic days, a total and forced offline mode: no internet connection and no phone either (no network access on a perimeter of 300m around my resort), just a phone that nobody know the number anyway, not even me. The opportunity therefore to test my addiction to computer online, and make a withdrawal from a few days. Assessment ...

DAY 1 - I'm fine, everything is fine
Ok, one day is part of a frank laugh. No mail? pffff no big deal ... No IM or Twitter? and then ... No RSS? back to good old paper journals ...
It's been very good to enjoy the sun, lie in an hour "reasonable" to catch a little behind in my viewing of DVDs (including the documentary series Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, "The Staircase "(" Suspicion "in VF), which I only saw the first episode before you purchase the complete series and well worth a visit). In short, I feel good without my PC without my cellphone.

DAY 2 - Early itching
some discomfort is felt ... I turn all the same laptop that I could not help but to bring in the secret hope of capturing a signal WiFi unprotected from a neighbor, or even a fonero . Not a chance, I forgot that I am in a village with an average age of my senior neighbors approach the century ... No, without wishing to youth culture, I doubt that the major ISPs are very interested in this potential market "of the world." The FTTH is not won here. Mocking the message "No wireless networks were detected in range" makes me angry. I also want to run a defragmentation of my hard drive (something I never do ... I'm a fan of the re-install "from scratch" to clean a disc). I go to the air much of the day and then finish my evening until late at night by some "solo" (arfff) Virtua Tennis 3 on Xbox 360.

DAY 3 - Numbers full head
Today I believe in numbers ... How many emails piling up in my gmail box? How many items unread in my Google Reader? How many hours before they can see my twitter, my Skype, my MSN and what are my friends? To pass the time between ballads and restaurants, comes the idea of this article for my blog. It allows me not to think of other figures: the number of items that I could write if I had been logged in recent days, the number of visitors daily on this blog, the number of subscribers to the RSS feed ...

DAY 4 - If you came home?
This time it was decided, it is not beautiful now, it's a return to earlier. Even if half of France had the same idea as me and I hit the half of the road in traffic. Okay, as long as my internet connection works when I arrive ... Appraisal: sixty emails "not spam" on hold over a thousand unread items in Google Reader and a few people who were concerned about my fate, quickly reassured via IM. In short, my next vacation spot? anywhere in the world, provided that the term "broadband" means something to the natives.

My Leg Will Not Stop Twitching

MusicMesh, another Pandora-like social network

After closing for non-resident U.S. Pandora, here's another music discovery service affinity Musicovery after I wrote about here .


MusicMesh you to find an artist / group or select from a cloud of tags and displays a corresponding album, as well as 6 other albums more or less similar (or even the same artist). Surprisingly, MusicMesh based on the videos available on YouTube you play the tracks on the album selected. You will generally be entitled to the clips shown on various TV channels, but sometimes fall on videos like a strange guy who plays guitar on a song by Radiohead ... However, it is possible to switch to another video of the song very simply.

Among the tips in addition, critics of the album, the Wikipedia page the artist or group, a link to Amazon to buy the album and the ability to tag your favorites. Only drawback in my opinion (beyond the fact that this service is by default illegal), the titles do not follow themselves. We must systematically click on the song you want to listen. Not very practical. In short, despite careful design, the ergonomics could be greatly improved. But let us hope that the service, if it does not close quickly, will not fail to become more effective over time.

finally accessible Free testing a new webmail

It's called RoundCube is sauce AJAX and finally allows to write messages in HTML format, so a little more pleasing to the eye. RoundCube interface is quite nice, nothing to do with the webmail previous, very austere and not practical at all. In short, it was time for Free, usually one step ahead, to catch up (at all confident case, if the tests are successful, this new tool to see finally adopted).


Well, having said that, for me it's too late, with the Gmail Mail Fetcher , need the Free webmail (or any other for that matter).

Free Editable Map Of The Uk

Gmail pop your other messaging

Listed here several weeks, the service Gmail Mail Fetcher to finally accessible to me, so probably is also the largest number. As a reminder, Mail Fetcher enables you to use Gmail as your email client for your other email addresses. After configuring POP settings your other mail accounts (up to 5) you can view all of your messages in Gmail, and play tag and filters to sort it all automatically.

Small precision, however, this feature is currently only available on the U.S. version, so you need to change the display language settings in Gmail, appear to show the option in question ( to configure Mail Fetcher, see using ).

With the new possibility of obtaining a Gmail address uninvited last few days, it's missing an offline mode worthy of the name and Gmail will be almost perfect (apparently coming soon too) ...

Tongue Ring Too Short?

RSS reader: Netvibes Google Reader

For several weeks now, I switched to read the entire feed on my son Google Reader . In fact, I looked above the stream via Netvibes , but it is clear that after a number of son (+ 100, and increasing daily), the viewing mode Netvibes suited me more (too laborious have to position each wire into a tab, unable to score some interesting articles to come back later, navigation impractical, too much manipulation to read an article, etc. ...).

To return to Google Reader, it gives me comfort that I need to quickly look up my favorite sources of information: label / folder to classify son by subject, displaying in one page of all the new articles, marking the favorite items, simple navigation and keyboard shortcuts quickly addictive. I also like the stats on the different son: those that you read the most, those who are most frequently updated, those who lag behind in publication, etc. ... All this is quite handy to sort through your readings.

Obviously, everything is (or was) not perfect in the beautiful world of Google Reader. But there are solutions to everything. By example, video Embedded (embedded in the articles) from YouTube and Google Video, among others, were thus not visible in the player directly. Luckily now possible (since the end of January). De même, certaines fonctionnalités existant dans Netvibes par défaut, comme la recherche dans vos flux, n'existe pas sur Google Reader. But, again, a solution via a Greasemonkey script can solve this problem. To improve your daily use of Google Reader, I invite you to read two excellent articles Get More From Google Reader Guide and Hack Attack: Getting good with Google Reader , particularly thorough and full of practical tips, such as extending Google Reader Notifier for Firefox , for example.

short, I am completely satisfied with my choice for Google Reader (my Netvibes remains essential for other functions) and following the news a bit in recent weeks, I realize I'm not the one and a craze for Google Reader arises. As proof, many articles on the benefit of readers including web-based/online for Google Reader on TechCrunch.fr and Read / WriteWeb here and there , among others ...

And you, what RSS reader son has your preference? Rather web-based/online or desktop?

Bicycles That Look Like Motorbike

two practical tools for editing HTML / CSS

The first Intype , is a leading multi-code (HTML, XML, C, Java, Javascript, Ruby, etc ...), running under Windows and very light in size. Its uniqueness and hence its major interest lies in the use of a completion system very efficient. Thus, for HTML, start typing the tag name, then press the Tab key, and automatically, the beacon is closed, the various option fields are already set, etc. ... To see a little system in action, screencasts are available on the official blog .

The second make 2, is a site that has been around long enough, but I find it very convenient to carry out some tests on a web design. You can view real-time changes that you apply to your HTML and CSS. On the home page, and you see a window containing a tab in the HTML page and in the same another, the CSS code. Just edit them to see the home page change in realtime. You'll understand if you replace the entire code with yours, you get a real-time editor. And the little thing that comes to crown the whole, the proposed script for Greasemonkey that lets you open the publisher directly to any web page, simply by pressing the [Pause / break] on your keyboard. Ideal to test design modifications quickly.

And since we are in the design, Adobe Labs offers Kuler, which lets you create or choose a theme color to the sauce web2.0 for your site. Practical and nicely done.
