SPOILER ALERT: Somehow, By The End Of This Post, I Will Have Convinced Myself I Have Schizophrenia — a life in translation. You see, I’ve been in a little bit of a situation lately when it comes to what I consider, “entertaining reading material.” As in, “entertaining reading material” apparently, to me, is “horrifically sad and disturbing reading material, which makes you rethink who you are as a person entirely.” You should know that this post will include some spoilers to books I’ve read, but you shouldn’t stop reading here, because what I’m trying to say is that you should not read any of the books I’ve subjected myself to. Essentially, you should me for spoiling these books so you are not tempted to do anything crazy like . See, I’m what one might call a wimp. When was out in theaters, I made the crippling mistake of watching it and then could not sleep without a light on for at least six months. I don’t enjoy the occasional slasher film, nor do I understand any of the reasoning or excitement behind gory movies such as the series.
What I’m saying is that I don’t like things that aren’t pretty. A quoi peut bien servir un réseau social en bibliothèque ? L’exemple de Facebook… Ce billet est publié simultanément dans la revue Bibliothèque(s) n°47-48 de décembre 2009, sur le bibliolab, rubrique le billet des hybrides et sur ce blog. J’ai 800 amis sur Facebook ! Ce qui nous gêne, ce qui revient comme une antienne dès que nous parlons d’un réseau social sur Internet, c’est le nombre d’amis que nous pouvons avoir. Car, sûr, dans la vraie vie, donc non-virtuelle, nous avons un, deux, voire une dizaine d’amis au maximum… Avoir un profil avec des centaines ou des milliers « d’amis » nous pose problème en tant qu’individu et en tant que bibliothécaire.
En fait, ce terme d’amis est mal choisi. On devrait parler plutôt parler de liens… qui nous rapprochent. C’est d’ailleurs, en sociologie, un des éléments de la définition d’un réseau social Quelles utilisations ? Se créer un profil Avant de détailler les usages, rappelons un fait important. Important, votre profil peut être ouvert à tous ou fermé. Dans ce cas, vous avez la main (pas celle de…) pour accepter l’ami ou pas. On Misuse Of Powerpoint. If this isn't exactly right I don't know what else is. A good powerpoint presentation is the exact opposite of reading the slides out loud. Yet again and again I find myself in presentations where people do exactly that. It's a reminder to me that Powerpoint, intended as an aid to presentations, is much more frequently used in what can seem like a conscious effort to obfuscate. For instance, don't ever show anyone whose respect you want a slide that looks like the one to the left.
This is way too busy, way too much by way of graphics, and not nearly enough explanation to figure out what in the hell is going on. A graphic image on a powerpoint slide should be simple, direct, pertinent, and not distracting. What's more, bad background and color choices can ensure that your audience is completely unable to read whatever it is that you wrote and intend to read out loud to them.

An anti-piracy firm has found a shortcut to obtaining the personal details of account holders connected to pirating IP-addresses. Instead of having a judge decide, Rightscorp obtains so-called DMCA subpoenas which only a court clerk has to sign off on. A worrying development that could lift the copyright troll business… After almost three years the suspected operators of a private BitTorrent tracker have finally been prosecuted for their alleged crimes. Said to be one of Sweden's biggest file-sharing cases in terms of content shared, the pair face accusations they spread at least 1,000 movies, some which belonged to Warner Bros. Google has secured a patent to help keep pirated applications off its Google Play store. Millions of users lost access to their personal files when Megaupload was raided, and there's little chance that they will have them returned in the near future.
Bon anniversaire, Wikipédia! Wikipédia aura 10 ans le 15 janvier 2011. Je le sais parce que je l’ai lu sur… Wikipédia! Vous n’utilisez jamais ça, Wikipédia? Pas confiance? Jamais? Mais revenons à votre recherche : Google.ca, on cherche « triplex », premier résultat… Wikipédia. Autre exemple. Mais ça n’a pas l’autorité d’une « véritable » encyclopédie, vous dites? On pourrait aussi ajouter que des mesures ont été mises en place par les responsables de Wikipédia pour éviter que des pages clairement fausses y soient ajoutées ou que le contenu soit l’objet de modifications intempestives, voire de vandalisme. Mais au-delà de ce débat (plutôt stérile, selon moi) sur les erreurs qui pourraient se retrouver sur Wikipédia, il y a cet outil tout à fait extraordinaire et surtout absolument unique que NOUS alimentons. Wikipédia est une ressource gratuite, indépendante, relativement fiable et mise à jour avec une régularité qui frise l’obsession.

Top WordPress themes on Google riddled with spamlinks and obfuscated code. 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.
Exploit scanner came up with 17 severe warnings for this theme. Since there are only 4 links showing at the bottom I think we can assume that this theme is either packed full of hidden backlinks or there is something else going on. Why You Should Never Search For Free WordPress Themes in Google or Anywhere Else (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)

Une petite intro… | Chronique d'histoire des Cantons de l'Est. Une petite intro… Comme première publication, je pensais vous donnez tout mon pedigree, puis je me suis dis "ceux qui vont lire mon blog le savent déjà et les autres s’en foutent totalement. " C’est donc pourquoi je vais me contenter de vous expliquez en quoi consistera ce blog. Dans un premier temps, je me concentrerez sur mes recherche. Non, ce ne sera pas un résumé de mes recherches (ça vous pourrez le lire dans mon mémoire), mais plutôt les détails croustillants de la vie professionnel d’un politicien et hommes d’affaires prolifique de Stanstead dans les Cantons de l’Est, j’ai nommé Charles Carroll Colby (C.
C. pour les intimes). Je partagerez aussi d’autres découvertes historiques que je ferai dans le futur (espérons que j’en ferez), des détails intéressant qui ne mérites pas nécessairement une thèse de doctorat mais une mini-analyse ou simple mention.
