Ben quoi alors? C’est pas parce que ça fait trois ans que j’ai pas écris dans ce blog que j’ai plus le droit de le faire quand même ! Je voulais juste écrire que je viens de mettre Wordpress 2.7 sur un site à propos d’énergies renouvelables, qu’on appelle aussi des énergies vertes, et qu’il n’y a pas de doutes, il esté infinimment supérieur au système de blog que j’utilise ici… Comme comparer une 2cv et une C5, je suppose. M’enfin bon, même s’il est plein de bugs et tout simple, c’est mon bébé.

même pas de page “statiques”, non mais vous vous rendez compte ! c’est un vrai blog dur de dur ! Bon enfin tout ça pour dire que si quelqu’un est intéressé par le code source, n’hésitez pas à demander dans les commentaires, je le mettrai en ligne. Je doute qu’il y ai une forte demande étant donné le peu d’intérêt de la chose, mais bon…

I recently installed the latest Wordpress on another website I designed, about renewable energy and it’s really powerful when I compare it to the ridiculous simplicity of this blog I’m using here… If anyone would like to try it, I’ll gladly pass on the source code, though I’m sure I will be so ashamed of showing my poor coding skills to the world… Anyway, leave a comment if you want to take a look at it.

Ok, my blog is back online after about a year in the meanders of my hard drive. Most of the stuff here is probably out of date, such as the Worpdress plugins, most of them written for pre-1.5 versions. As I don’t use WP anymore, I’m unlikely to come up with more stuff, unless I decide to come back to it at some stage.

I think I will now write about other things, what exacly I’m not sure yet…

J’ai finallement mis a jour mon autre site, salamba.info, avec Wordpress 1.5, et pas doute, il est bien, tr?s bien m?me. Un des meilleurs ajouts est selon moi la possibilit? de configurer les plugins. Ca manquait vraiment dans les anciennes versions.

Une autre chose int?ressante est la possibilit? de cr?er des pages “statiques”, pour du contenu hors du syst?me normal du blog, mais c’est aussi un point faible, car le systeme de th?mes est devenu plus complexe. C’est plus flexible, mais en m?me temps plus de travail… ” />

Super, je viens de finir un projet qui me tenait coeur, un petit cat boat de 5 mètres, de croisière cotière et de raid pour deux personnes. vous trouverez plus de détails sur la page du CC5

Enfin bref, vu que c’est un peu plus calme en ce moment, j’ai décidé de faire un peu de stock (concevoir des voiliers ou cas ou un client serait interessé par quelque chose de similaire) pendant mon temps libre, et mon dévolu est tombé sur un vieux projet que je n’avais jamais mené à terme, la “barcasse”. C’est une petite plate de 3m50 environ, avec une voile au tiers, pour de la petite balade dans des eaux traquilles. Je suis sûr qu’il y en a qui traverseraient l’atlantique dessus, mais bon, l n’est pas le propos ” />.

J’aimerais le proposer en téléchargement gratuit sur marinetechs.com pour voir un peu les réactions qu’il peut y avoir…

In case you’re using a syndication software that can read RSS2.0 feeds, and if you don’t like the layout of this blog ” /> I offer syndication feeds for its content as well as the comments posted on the posts. You can get feeds for the comments on individual posts from the link at the top of the comments section:

The main feeds are:

The entries rss feed

and the comments feed.

New! the My Life feed let’s you know everything I do on the web.

Ok, I finally got the captcha working. Wasn’t that hard, but it was more the concept that was kind of eluding me… Where to send the data from the image and from the text box, how to compare them and so on.

I like the way my little script works, because if for whatever reason the commenter didn’t fil the captcha field properly, they wil be sent an email containing a link allowing them to publish their own comment. I’m wondering if spammers would learn how to make their robots do that… Anyway, doesn’t matter because I haven’t had a *single* comment spam since I changed over from wordpress yesterday. Wait and see, I guess.

So this is it. I’ve been working on it for the past few days, and I’m quite happy with what I’ve got now. Of course, I’m sure many of you will not feel that way. I myself feel somewhat like having betrayed Wordpress…

Anyway, the move is made now and I don’t think there’s any going back. I feel such a freedom from being able to hack the code in any (bad) way I want, it was like a breath of fresh air for me.

There are still a lot of features left to implement, like pingback (that one is a toughie!), a proper calendar, ideally using XMLHttpRequests, comments feeds, Atom feeds and a few more things. I would like some suggestions from readers as well, to see what can be done.

For now though, trackbacks should be functionnal (feel free to test it) and the RSS feed for articles is available. I reused some code from a few wordpress plugins, and I would like to give credit to Michel Fortin for Markdown, to Phu Ly & Dunstan Orchard & Michael Heilemann for Dunstan’s Time of day and Time Since, to Daryl for his Amazon wishlist plugin, although I don’t know if that will stay there for long, and to Bitflux for the LiveSearch functions. Thanks go out to all of them.

Since the release of Wordpress 1.5, I’ve been wondering what to do with this blog.

I looked at upgrading, but that would mean a few days of work to have the blog the way I like it again. I hacked WP 1.2 so much that it would be very difficult to just upgrade and expect everything to go smoothly. Also I asked to myself: do I really need a blogging tool to do coffee as well as allow me to publish stuff easily. I guess I mean that Wordpress now has many more features than I have use for, and I don’t really see the point of it.

So there you have it, I decided to design a blogging software from scratch. Yes, it takes some work, but maybe not much more as what I put in to hack wordpress. It’s a great learning exercise anyway…

I just got myself one of the longest email addresses of the world, over at ABC… Whatever(via)!

I just couldn’t stop laughing when I saw their ’sales pitch’ on the home page, so I just had to open an account with them.

So, feel free to write me at jfoucher@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com

Ooops, looks like that address is too big for my layout!
