Who’s the evil?

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

I found this information at Microsoft Website
In contrast, Linux and other open-source software vendors provide limited, if any, indemnification coverage.
I don’t understand, this page is supposed to promote intellectual property and to show the advantages, I won’t comment on that, but what the heck attacking for? Is Microsoft staff so frustrated and so worried […]

Enfant prodige

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

Je viens de trouver cette blague dans un site brésilien :
Une instutitrice demande à un élève : Un chasseur trouve 8 oiseaux sur un arbre, prend son fusil et tire sur trois, combien reste-t-il ?
- aucun
- Voyons, 8-3 = 5, il reste 5.
- Non, mais les 5 autres écoutent le bruit du […]

Listening to: Bob Marley — Redemption Song

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I from the
Bottom less pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
All I ever had is songs of freedom
Won’t you help to sing these songs of freedom
Cause all I ever had redemption […]

Feel the CSS beauty

Friday, April 28th, 2006

I am only technical when talking of Web design. Like all webmasters, I know how to make a style sheet from a blank file, give definitions to elements, classes and ID’s, put HTML tags and respecting the standards; but I’m not artist in anyway. Art requires feelings, passion, mastering, whereas I make HTML/CSS templates […]

Democrats buy most of the books that have been banned somewhere.
Republicans form censorship committees and read them as a group.
 
Republicans consume three-fourths of the rutabaga produced in the USA.
The remainder is thrown out.
 
Republicans usually wear hats and almost always clean their paint brushes.
 
Republicans study the financial pages of the newspaper.
Democrats put them in the […]

Finally, installed Captcha

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Spammers made me shit: over 100 spams per day obliged me to install a Captcha plugin that works fine for now; I choosed fonts that can be read by human beings, hope it doesn’t bother you, serious people of course.

Malnutrition…

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

Received a call this morning from King Panga that made me think a lot:
- King Panga: A customer needs you, when can you get here?
- Me (not willing): Well, the evening.
- King Panga: No, she can’t, it’s urgent.
- Me: Okay, At lunch time.
- King Panga: When exactly?
- Me: When I say “lunch time”, this […]

Flirting with AJAX

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

I started to find out about AJAX, a fashion Web technology, which stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML; Hatem’s blog helped me a lot, and the Internet is a huge source of information.
A “hello world” application is like the following: it requests data from page.php and writes the content between div tag identified by […]

Habana Blues

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Todavía sigo con mi delirio cinematográfico. Ayer fue la película cubana (decimos franco-cubano-española) “Habana Blues”, y como la mayor parte de las películas cubanas que he visto, no me decepcionó.
Es la historia de dos músicos cubanos que sueñan a irse a Europa, los productores españoles vienen y el sueño parece cercano, pero muchos eventos […]

As it’s difficult to find cultural non-commercial movies in Tunisia, the European movies days is an occasion to find out more about movies in Eastern Europe: For 1 dinar, you may watch all the day’s high quality movies!
“Tato”, from Poland is a story of a divorced man who is obliged to let his daughter […]

Othman Empire: a dark epoch

Monday, April 24th, 2006

I remember in school when teachers used to highlight Othman Empire’s “exploits”, and to incite us to be proud of Turkish Army, that was the strongest at the time, and that owned almost all the Arabic countries, and reached Wien.
However, history is not always full of glory, and has all the time cruel sides, […]

La tigre e la neve

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

Un autre chef d’œuvre de Roberto Benigni est “La Tigre e la Neve”. Un film impressionant racontant d’Attilio Giovanni professeur de poésie qui cherche à séduire Vittoria ; elle est allée en Iraq où elle est gravement blessée, et voilà qu’Attilio la rejoint pour tenter de la sauver, sans même savoir qu’il y a […]

Escuchando: León Gieco — La colina de la vida

Friday, April 21st, 2006

(Gracias Susana )
 
Casi, casi nada me resulta pasajero
Todo prende de mis sueños
Y se acoplan en mi espalda y así subo
Muy tranquilo la colina de la vida
Nunca me creo en la cima o en la gloria
Eso es un gran fantasma
Creado por generaciones, pasará
Atascado en el camino de la vida.
 
La realidad duerme sola en un […]

When Khrushchev pulled his shoe off

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

 
 On 1960, in the United Nations General Assembly (…) The Filipino delegate had charged the Soviets with employing a double standard, pointing to their domination of Eastern Europe as an example of the very type of colonialism their resolution was critical of. Mr. Khrushchev thereupon pulled off his right shoe, stood up, brandishing it […]
