Ca devient plus compliqué pour les autres systèmes : il me semble qu’il est déjà arrivé à Wordpress ou Dotclear de sortir des versions qui n’étaient plus compatibles avec les templates précédents, et pour Movable Type il y a des inclusions de fichiers ou de plugins qui rendent l’idée peu pratique.

It gets more complicated with other systems: I think both Wordpress and Dotclear have at least once released updates that weren’t compatible with old templates, and when it comes to Movable Type you’ve got included files and plugins and whatnot that make it highly impractical. And as for homemade systems, such as mine, whose very PHP structure regularly changes… sure, I could save a copy of the final compiled HTML page for each post and monthly archive, and never let my CMS touch it again once the layout has changed, but… but… mmh… well, it’s a shame I never considered this before. There’d be no point in starting now, when my blog’s future is behind it.

Et si je bois une bouteille d’eau par-dessus le paquet que je viens de descendre, est-ce que ça va gonfler et faire exploser mon estomac ? En combien de temps on meurt d’une explosion d’estomac ? Comment ça se fait que le Coca et le Pepsi m’aient dissous les dents mais que je n’aie pas d’ulcère ?

You can die from heroin overdose (duh). You can die from water overdose. You can overdose on anything, it’s only a matter of quantities. So what would the quantity be for a Special K overdose? (I do mean the cereals.) And if I drink a whole bottle of water in addition to the full pack I just ate, will my stomach explode? How long would it take to die of a stomach explosion? Why is it that Coke and Pepsi dissolved my teeth but I haven’t got an ulcer?

(Parce que Candide, pour ceux qui ne se souviennent pas, c’est un peu gore — si je m’en souvenais un peu mieux, j’oserais comparer à Oz.) J’ai carrément du mal à croire que j’aie pu un jour être innocent à ce point.

Instead of which I’ll give you a thought that’s been lingering in my notepad, and that’s unrelated to anything: I can hardly imagine there was a time, not so long ago (well, actually, a dozen years ago, so it’s been a while, come to think about it), when, as the class was reading Voltaire’s Candide, everybody (well, especially boys, interestingly) had exclaimed that it’s impossible to rape a man. (Because Candide is hard stuff—if I had a better memory of it, I would dare compare it to Oz.) I just can’t believe I would ever have been that innocent. Must be that I didn’t have Internet access at that time.

Sans compter que je ne suis pas persuadé que la Wii aie vraiment besoin d’une reconnaissance des mouvements plus précise ; à moins qu’on utilise des wiimotes pour contrôler des bras-robots qui manipulent les barres de plutonium dans une centrale nucléaire, la recherche de la précision du mouvement n’est pas si compatible que ça avec un gameplay efficace, si ?

I can’t believe the “Wii Motion Plus” (ugh) unapologetically does just what the wiimote was originally supposed to be designed for, and it ends up being an accessory that you have to buy and plug into your wiimote — and it doesn’t seem like Nintendo intends to build this new technology into future wiimotes, either. What the hell? Not to mention that I don’t think the Wii actually needed more precise motion control; unless you’re using the wiimote to control a real-life robotic arm that handles plutonium bars, precision isn’t really that compatible with efficient gameplay, does it? Don’t Wii Sports or Wii Music work precisely because you can make very approximative gestures?

L’air trop sérieux, trop carré (le dernier film dans lequel je l’aie vu, c’est Dodgeball — pas si mauvais que prévu, d’ailleurs, mais pas blogué parce que je ne l’ai pas vu en entier — et là encore il jouait le rôle de la petite crevette geek), et surtout trop un petit peu connu au moins de vue.

Wow — when I’d seen the screenshot, I thought it looked like him, but couldn’t be. Too serious, too broad-shouldered (the last movie I saw him in was Dodgeball — not as bad as I thought, by the way, but not reviewed because I missed half of it — and once again he was playing the little geeky shrimp), and too famous well not quite but recognizable at least by some well definitely not by name but still. And yet it is him!

Première vidéo du FPS Command & Conquer, et une bonne surprise : non seulement la réalisation est irréprochable, mais le gameplay m’intéresse — et je m’en voudrais de tout ramener à moi, mais pour qu’un “FPS tactique” m’attire avec une simple vidéo, alors que je ne suis pas particulièrement doué en FPS et que toute idée de stratégie me fait plutôt fuir en courant, il faut que le jeu aie de sérieux atouts.

And/or be too casual for the taste of serious gamers.

Mmm, I like the idea: everytime I post an article, automatically recording the context (news headlines, weather, and other gadgets). It’s completely useless, but can be perfectly automatic, so it’s no waste of time for me. I’d only have to read Yahoo’s French news page and get headlines, weather and even the stock index. It’s fortunate that I’m too lazy to look up information about extracting data from an HTML file, otherwise I’d get at it right away.

Le seul logiciel de gestion de notes que j’aie pu trouver qui aie des fonctionnalités complètes à ce niveau est Mori, mais il est à la traîne sur les autres points : je le trouve pire que Yojimbo pour gérer des to-do d’une ligne (même si je ne saurais pas bien expliquer pourquoi) et, surtout, il ne fait pas d’archives web mais stocke juste un lien hypertexte quand on lui glisse un raccourci dessus.

That’s no good — you can’t trust the internet to store the information you need forever (and forever in the same place).

Il se pourrait donc que les “first Revolution screenshots” qui ont fait le tour des blogs, toujours accompagnés de la mention “mais ces développeurs n’ont même pas de dev kit Nintendo”, n’aient pas été si loin de la vérité.

Compare text pagesCompare HTM pagesOpen source URLOpen target URLDefine garoo.net as primary domain

Nintendo has a patent on hardware optimization for displacement mapping (that’s, basically, describing mountains, for instance, not as polygons but as a a height bitmap — looks better and more natural). So maybe those “first Revolution screenshots” that were all over the web, always followed by a “those guys don’t even have a Nintendo dev kit yet” disclaimer, weren’t actually so off the mark. Cool. Reminds me of the old Comanche game (the first), the only flight simulator I ever found pretty: it used voxels for terrain mapping (which amounts pretty much to the same as a displacement map) and looked much better in 320x240 than the latest Flight Simulator on any hi-res screen. (But I’m nearsighted, so I may have a slightly peculiar vision of the world.)

It had to happen. It just had to. I’m sure that, if I switched to DSL (and it’s not gonna happen right now, I’d need to have a bit more cash ahead of me first), my provider would start not working just as soon as I’d get used to its comfort. Well, it’s Murphy’s law, everybody knows it already. So now my ISP saturates and I have to call three or four times in order to get a line (which amounts to about twenty attempts per day, considering I’ve been regularly disconnected for a few weeks now) and I’ve got this nagging feeling it’s not going to improve over time. Before computers existed, you didn’t have all this problems. To think that I could be quietly breeding goats in Larzac, if only I had never known about the Internet.

Okay, nothing like a little stroll by the messageboards for Pink TV (the French gay TV channel) to convince me that I really have better things to do with my money. If I have to be militant, I’ll just subscribe to Têtu — the historic French gay magazine. My satellite network’s website is a messy and poorly coded as ever, but it now announces the possibility to remove an option by email (it was until recently only possible by snail mail… yeah, in 2005 still), so we’ll see if they follow through. I don’t like the fact they demand your cell number, and I like even less the fact I caved in so they wouldn’t use it as an excuse to ignore my request and let me linger. They’re particularly famous for doing everything they can to prevent you from ending susbcriptions (like, allowing you to add options on the web, but only removing them by snail-mail), so I wouldn’t put anything past them. And I’m scared of what kind of spam SMS I’ll be getting in the following months.

Ce que j’aime bien dans cette théorie, c’est qu’elle justifie joliment le fait que j’aie si peu de souvenirs de cette période : ce ne serait pas que j’ai refoulé toute mon enfance (et pourtant), ni que j’ai un problème de mémoire, mais simplement que je me leurre moins que les autres, que je ne m’encombre pas de souvenirs factices parce que je ne vois que la vérité, que j’y vois clair dans la vie, que je suis lucide et zen, bref, que je vaux mieux que vous.

What I like about this theory is that it’s a sweet justification to the fact I have so few memories from that age: it wouldn’t be that I was traumatized and forgot all about it because it was so bad, nor that I have memory troubles, but just that I’m less delusional than others, and I don’t drown my mind in fake memories because I only see the truth, I see clearly through life, I’m lucid and zen—in a few words, I’m better than you.
