Il s’agit aussi d’une plate-forme à partir de laquelle différents sujets et phénomènes liés à l’histoire et à l’informatique sont abordés. À terme, ce blogue pourra devenir un point de rencontre pour ceux et celles qui sont actifs dans le domaine ou qui souhaitent découvrir ce milieu, ses gens et ses réalisations.

By Cory Doctorow at 2:09 am Monday, Jan 24 Siobhan Ambrose went looking for a WordPress theme; of the top ten free WordPress theme sites listed on Google, eight had hidden, obfuscated, or encrypted code buried in them that rendered spammy keyword links that were part of a deceptive search engine optimization scheme; in some cases, Siobhan couldn't figure out what the offending code did and speculates that it might contain malware. Of the remaining two, one hosted themes that didn't validate. The remaining site, WordPress.org, is the only site in the first ten Google results for "free wordpress theme" whose themes don't contain deceptive backlinks, obfuscated code, or non-validating themes.

At the big gala on Saturday April 28 I'm thrilled to say that my novel, To the Edge of the Sea , set during the Confederation Conferences of 1864, with John A Macdonald and Mercy Coles, daughter of the PEI delegate and Father of Confederation George Coles, won the First Book Award. (I've blogged on Mercy's take on the conference goings on in this blog in October and Nov.) Judges Joan Barfoot, Christine Cowley and Katherine Gordon said: In the mid-19th century, three young Prince Edward Islanders explore their disparate futures at home and away, in a debut novel that is lyrical and precise in its descriptions of land, sea and people, and powerful in its accounts of both personal and political histories of the province and country.Michael Geist - Blog
The government's vision of fostering new competition is somewhat limited. The primary goal appears to be the creation of a strong, national fourth carrier in the market. The spectrum caps and foreign ownership changes are both geared toward giving a fourth player the necessary spectrum and capital to compete with Bell, Telus and Rogers. That suggests consolidation of the current smaller players in the hope of a single, stronger competitor - possibly foreign owned - challenging the incumbents.I'm Christopher Moore, a Toronto-based writer, blogger and commentator.
