New theme, new blog

I've decided to change the default theme, and during that process I made a lot of changes. I completely removed the archives - who browses blogs by date anyway ? do you often decide "Hey, today I'll try to find out what he blogged on August 11th 2007" ?. I removed the categories too, having tags and categories is simply stupid for such a small blog.

Moreover, I dumped a few of the old articles, and translated all the others to english. I'm sorry if you don't use JavaScript, but this is 2008 and we actually have powerful computers. No excuses. Anyway, I wanted a clean and simple design, and now it's done.

I've also transfered my domain name to another registrar, so the website might be down for a few hours is a couple of day.

A few blog ideas

There is a category of blogs which have some kind of success based only on their concept. I don't talk about usual blogs here, but about those crazy, stupid blogs which can be so amazing. Here are a few ideas for those who would like to start one:

Will it fit in my nose

Everyday a new object, and the same question Will it fit in my nose. A few pictures, some videos and a few words: a whole new way of comparing objects.

The Techno Test

Regularly (once or twice a week) a tech style test of an everyday's life object : plain corn, soap or the mailbox. Thoughts about the licence, accessibility or packaging might be interesting.

Feed Me Tonight

Everyday the blogger publishes the content of his fridge; the readers then make his dinner's menu. When the fridge is empty, the readers might suggest a few ideas. There is a high interaction, and it's a nice place to put some food pictures, videos and recipes.

Show Debugging

Studying movies and TV shows, tracking down all occurences of on screen source code in hackers movies and analyzing the code. Bonus : same thing with maths formulas.

Welcome

After a few weeks spent writing some code (mostly plugins), the new blog is up and running. You will discover over time various kinds of code, thoughts and whatever has its place on a blog
