A l’ère de l’« informatique en nuages », par Hervé Le Crosnier Tel un fluide vital, l’information numérique se trouve partout dans nos sociétés ; elle circule dans les réseaux, s’affiche sur les écrans, s’écoute sur les téléphones mobiles... Tous les artefacts matériels autrefois intimement associés à nos pratiques d’accès à l’information — livres, journaux, disques, affiches, tableaux, albums photos — cèdent du terrain devant les outils électroniques. Les entreprises aussi se convertissent au numérique. Bons de commande, factures, suivi de livraison, archivage comptable et légal, documentation des produits, relation avec la clientèle : le cycle de vie du document organisationnel passe, dans la majorité des cas, par un circuit informatique. On parle de « dématérialisation » pour désigner cette séparation entre le support physique et le contenu. Mais l’expression est illusoire : il faut bien que toutes ces informations soient stockées quelque part, que des tuyaux soient enterrés, des câbles posés au fond des océans...

cufón - fonts for the people UPDATE Oct 24: We have released version 1.09i, which is the same as 1.09 but IE9-compatible. 1.10 is on its way as well. Keep in mind that you do not need to convert your font files again, just replace your old cufon-yui.js with a new one and you're good to go. As it currently stands, version 1.09 does not work in IE9 beta which was just released. Just in case it doesn't work in the final version either, we've implemented a fix in the latest development version. There will be a new release some time in the near future. You might also want to take this opportunity to try Typekit, a hosted, @font-face-based alternative. On Windows, you may first have to copy the font file out of the Fonts folder and paste it elsewhere in order to be able to select it. Currently only TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), Printer Font Binary (PFB) and PostScript fonts are supported. Useful if you're using multiple variants of the same font (bold, italic etc). Cufón is distributed under the MIT license.

ActiveInbox -- Turn Gmail into a GTD task manager (If you were on the Beta, please go back to the mainstream release to resume automatic updates). After a year of trying and refining new features (with your feedback – thank you!), we’ve finally clicked the last couple of pieces of the jigsaw in place… ActiveInbox 5.0 is ready for all existing users. What were those last two pieces? ActiveInbox now feels instantaneous Tom has been incredibly busy ripping out the battered, rusty old engine of ActiveInbox, and putting a brand new sports engine in its place. I can’t stress how big a change this is… It’s not a simple bit of optimisation work (although we did that too), it’s 22,000 new lines of code. So now when you load Gmail, click Action, set a due date, or change something in Active Results, it happens in the blink of an eye. Beautifying ActiveInbox A caveat: everyone who’s tried the beta has initially had a shock when seeing the changes. Colour and Icons Have Meaning We Defined ‘Task’ and ‘To Do’ Other Things You Should Know Coming up next…

Deploying Font Servers « 318 Tech Journal Mac OS X has come with the ability to activate and deactivate Fonts on the fly since 10.5, when Font Book was introduced. Font Book allows a single user to manage their fonts easily. But many will find that managing fonts on a per-computer basis ends up not being enough. Which begs the question: who needs a font server? A very simplistic answer is any organization with more than 5 users working in a collaborative environment. This could be the creative print shops, editorial, motion graphics, advertising agencies and other creative environments. Lack of font management is a cost center for many organizations.

Evernote, Hello? This is an App Only Sheldon Cooper Would Love Evernote Hello is a fine example of a really good idea that, when executed, doesn't work at all well. In concept, Hello is brilliant. Who doesn't have a problem with remembering names, especially when you're at a party or work function and being introduced to a half-dozen people simultaneously? As I said, it's a really good idea, and the execution is almost perfect. First Impressions of Hello Let's start with the good. Once you have someone's contact information, it's relatively easy to put them into the iOS contacts. Worse, Evernote seems to have forgotten that you may have met people before the company was kind enough to grace us with Hello. Hello has a few other problems that are more minor, and will likely be sorted out before too long. There's also the small matter of Evernote Hello only working on iOS for now. Then there's the whole "hand over your phone to a stranger" thing. For a first release, though, the Evernote folks have made a pretty nice little app. Fatal Flaw
