Disable hotlinking

(Friday, May 30th, 2008)

When you have a web site, it becomes quite common that some people feel so easy to just borrow your images that they do not even take the time to make a copy on their own web site. Not only do they use your artwork, but they also use the bandwidth you paid for.

Normally, there is a solution. You can modify slightly your website to ensure that if this happens, the image served is not the original one, but a modified one (either a big red X, or a message to the reader). But it is a little difficult to do by hand. A wbe site tool comes handy for this: HTMLbasix - Htaccess Disable Hotlinking Code Generator.

Free movie: B horror movies from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s

(Friday, May 16th, 2008)

Logo Internet Archive

  • List from Internet Archive

Hollywood in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s created a long string of cheap horror movies that never reached the top rating lists. However, some of them, despite being left mostly abandonned by their authors, are worthy of some renewed attention. In this context, it is interesting to notice that the Internet Archive has recently pointed to a nice list of these B horror movies. In there, you will find (available for free download):

Portfolio: Anne Roumazeilles

(Wednesday, April 30th, 2008)

You may think that I am partial presenting you this portfolio today. Yes! Anne Roumazeilles is my nephew. But I really love what she does while she only began shooting photos a short time ago.

I let you judge these images taken in テ四e de Rテゥ (on the Atlantic coast of France) and feel free to leave a comment (or constructive criticism).

Great coins for Great Britain

(Saturday, April 26th, 2008)

“You’ve got to love those coins!” Do you believe that I could tell you so? Surely not. Even better, you can be surprised to learn that I found that in a web site about design and arts (Baekdal.com). And it is defintely a great design for something as old as coins.

The new UK coins have been designed to be elegantly assembled in a single pattern:

Free nature wallpapers: Sand

(Sunday, April 20th, 2008)

Some abstract images of sand. Shot in Lagoa do Peixe (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) in 2008. To me, they looked a little like some satellite photos of the planet Mars.

Screenplay for “The Wall” (Pink Floyd)

(Sunday, April 6th, 2008)

We do not often see the sceenplay of a movie we like. Maybe it’s fortunate because they are hardly exhilarating except when they come from Alfred Hitchcock (the man was a maniac of detailed preparation) or when they describe all about animation movies.

The Wall, the Alan Parker movie created with the eponymous music album from Pink Floyd stays a monument of moving images. But, now, you can look at the pages of Roger Waters and Gerald Scarfe, the original screenplay (in PDF).

Supercomputer in a chapel

(Friday, March 28th, 2008)

The most powerful super-computer in Europe (and the 13th in the World), MareNostrum, is located in Barcelona, Spain, and has been installed in an old chapel. This gives us the most beautiful supercomputer in the world (this is nearly computer soft-pron photo).

Woody Allen love story with a typeface

(Wednesday, March 26th, 2008)

For those who did not notice, a disproportionately large majority of the titles to Woody Allen movies are written in one and only one font: Windsor.

Manhattan (Woody Allen) closing title

Apparently, this comes from a conversation with Ed Benguiat, famous American typographer, where Allen wanted to know what a good typeface was.

Musical scores

(Saturday, March 22nd, 2008)

Some musical scores are really out-of-this world:

  • One musical score drawing up the map of the whole world:

  • PI, the mathematical constant, can easily be transformed into a curious musical score may be honoring the memory of Bach and Pythagoras:
