  • Picasso at work, in time-lapse video

    Some of you may have already seen it on TV or in a theater, but here comes to Google the work of Picasso painting. All is converted into a time-lapse video that gives a very nice feeling about how the great painter was working.

  • A few nice bees

  • My WordPress plugins

    Some people seem to have wondered what plugins I am using to extend the basic functionality of WordPress. So here goes the list: AdSense Deluxe to help me handle Google AdSense advertising and some table inclusions in the posts. Akismet to protect Roumazeilles.net against comment SPAM. WP-email to allow users to email a copy of…

  • 40D, Canon leaks from China

    This time, this is for sure. Canon leaked information about the new D-SLR on its Hong-Kong web site. No technical data (only an empty page with the interesting name), but the name is now confirmed. We are probably only a few hours/days from real data coming from Canon. After less than 24 hours, Canon replaced…

  • All about Sushi

    You certainly heard about this most-symbolic meal of Japanese culture. They are probably nearly all what we, Westerners, know about Japanese food.

  • WordPress 2.1 is out

    Great news for the WordPress community of bloggers and web site designers: WordPress 2.1 is available for download. This is really a significant upgrade to one of the most successful blog-and-CMS software applications (the one I use for Roumazeilles.net). New features include (my own selection of the good things): A new tabbed editor allows you…

  • Big FPS games for 2007

    Everybody told you that 2007 will be the year to upgrade your PC configuration. But usually, this is supposedly because of the arrival of Windows Vista. I beg to differ. You can forget about Vista, but the upcoming games of 2007 will be a very good reason to shoot your old hardware down. 2007 will…

  • Sony PS3 and HDCP: It’s a mess

    We already talked about it here at length: Devices willing to handle High Definition (HD) video have to (or will have to) be all HDCP-compatible in order to be able to display anything. Recent Christmas holiday season sales will probably soon appear as somewhat lacking in this section (most of the HD-Ready TV sets don’t…
