SmartyPants for Moveable Type
If you're using Moveable Type and are interested in producing "proper" quotes, dashes and elipses , definitely have a look at John Gruber's SmartyPlants plugin. MT devient une plateforme de plus en plus, il faut que je retourve le lien de la discussion sur Joel on Software qui parle de la différence entre une application et une plate-forme (je suis offline et je n'ai pas accès à ma mémoire secondaire pour l'insant)... Update: le lien en question, merci à Dylan Foley qui me l'a envoyé par courriel.

Tracking Tux: Linux Research Round-Up
In this debut column, Butler Group declares Linux and .NET the OS winners, picks three surviving enterprise Linux distributors and calls for industry mobilization on the next generation operating system. Gartner and Giga analysts feed the populist view of Linux as a 2003 bright spot while IDC buckles both Linux and Microsoft into the server market driver's seat. META Group, as usual, is a bit more meticulous even with macro trends. Evans Data looks East and finds dotcom-worthy forecasts. Une excellente source qui fait une synthèse des différentes positions des analystes techniques sur Linux. Je l'écris parce que c'est en français et qu'il ne pourront pas le lire, mais je payerais certainement pour ce genre de service dans un futur pas très éloigné... #

Macromedia's ContributeReviw on Hypergene
Macromedia has unveiled their latest app, Contribute — which "enables anyone to easily update, add, and publish web content to existing websites without requiring technical skills." Applications such as this extend the potential of participatory journalism to the static HTML world. We put the trial version to test this afternoon (...) and it worked amazingly well. After only a few minutes of set up, and we were editing pages on our main site. Nice. This app is a boon for web designers, allowing them to easily deploy a design for non-tech savvy clients. For the content creator, it does a great job making HTML transparent. Pourrait me permettre de régler plusieurs problèmes actuels au boulot, défénitivement à suivre... #

Sending XHTML as text/html Considered Harmful
A number of problems resulting from the use of the text/html MIME type in conjunction with XHTML content are discussed. It is suggested that authors should use HTML 4.01 instead of XHTML until such time as the majority of installed user agents correctly support XHTML when delivered with an XML content type. Lecture intéressante pour ceux qui se nourrissent de Tag Soup... #

Je quitte à l'instant pour le Gala des affaires électroniques, nous (Messagia) sommes finalistes dans la catégorie innovation technologique. Ce n'est pas nécessairement le genre de sortie mondaine qui m'attire (195$ le couvert!) mais l'honneur d'être finaliste dans cette catégorie compense grandement. J'espère avoir l'occasion de rencontrer des gens intéressants... et d'en convainvre quelques uns des bienfaits de la discipline carnetière... #
