I just added Feedburner’s subscribe by email service to this blog. If you would like to have me invade your inbox instead of your browser or RSS reader, subscribe here.

Je viens de passer ce blog à la dernière version de textpattern. Il y a pas mal de choses qui deviennent beaucoup mieux mais… Mais comme une mise à jour ne se passera JAMAIS sans que quelque chose ne fonctionne plus les liens permanents ont explosé, et donc désolé pour tous ceux qui liaient vers ce site vous tomberez probablement sur la homepage (et la recherche à droit vous aidera à retrouver ce que vous cherchez).

Les nouveaux liens permanents ont la forme suivante: /section/id de l’article/titre.

I just upgraded this blog to the latest version of textpattern and everything is better but permalinks that can’t seem to work the old way. Sorry for all people linking here you will (probably) be redirected to the homepage rather than the article you are searching.

The new nomenclature is now /section/article id/title.

For some reason the old way, involving the article date, does not work anymore.

- the feeds do not work as they are supposed to. The Atom feed is OK but Nicole sez “you shall use RSS” and when Nicole sez me does.
– my host went down yesterday at the worst possible time (2 secs after pressing the “Save Template” button)
– the subdomain blog.ballpark.ch has not been activated by these same people (I wish I could googlebomb them “à la Scoble”: bad hosting, bad hosting)
– the site was quite nice (clean at least, the real design team will start working later) on Firefox, then I checked it out on IE who is quickly becoming the Netscape 4 of the 21st century (HTML people will feel the pain)

I was discussing last week how software (most notably open source software) has matured, how it better covers these standard needs like blogging. Still there is a long way to go before software simply works the way it is supposed to work. You knew that.

It’s been a while I was considering moving my “work related” posts away from my historic blog. I started bohellz more than four years ago and it’s been (and will continue to be) a really cool ride. Lately I feel like I have been blogging on two increasingly incompatible directions (personal vs work) and that time has come to separate things a bit.

As I’m now starting my own company (coming on July 1…) I decided to create this pro blog (using lovely textpattern) while I will continue publishing the more personal posts on bohellz.
As I intend to discuss here with all the great “European practical visionaries” I met last week at reboot, I will try to write in English all the time. Sorry in advance for that, MS Words help but…

A great new adventure starts today, finally.
