Hatem’s Diaries

Just got today my new Nokia Bluetooth keyboard SU-8W, I grab it last month from Amazon US and just got it today. It’s just small and compact as I want it with two AA batteries, On/Off, and flexible support to hold my mobile. That’s my first gift from Amazon and I was lucky to get the last one. This week will be for mobile blogging !

Une semaine d’actualité IT, période disons de test pour voir un peu ce que ça donne, se débarasser du rodage de deux ans ou plus depuis que j’ai rien écrits en français ! Ah le bon vieux temps des rapports de l’école (que je faisait jamais) !! voici le résumé de la semaine :

1. Google, l’été et l’Open Source
2. Le Spam, de l’argent ou de la nuisance facile ?
3. Le Web Contre le Desktop, Que le meilleur Gagne !
4. OpenID, Votre Identité 2.0

Ca viens de se mijoter hier, ça s’appelle ITACTU, tout simplement L’actualité de l’IT. Ce n’est pas assez nouveau comme projet, mais c’est quelque chose que j’avais en tête depuis quelque temps et voilà il a fallu que ça sort hier à la lumière. J’ai un petit problème de clavier qui s’est résolu, mais le prolème maintenant c’est que mes doigts ont pris l’habitude de taper de l’anglais (qwerty) puis autre chose, tellement j’écrivais du français sans accents maintenant je suis plus sûr si j’ai omis un circonflexe ou un c cédille quelque part. Bref, je vais revenir à taper du français !

Revenons à nos moutons ! ITACTU ne sera pas la version française de phpmagazine.net même si ce n’est pas très loin. Cette fois c’est du pur et dur orienté entreprise, y’auras plus de codes comme ici, ni de la programmation, mais c’est plutôt tout ce qui se rapporte au développement des technologies de l’information et de la télécommunication. Voilà, le site est assez simple, très basique pour commencer. J’ai l’habitude de mettre plus de “S” qu’il en faut, comme si quelque chose me dis qu’on n’est pas seul au monde et il faut tout mettre au pluriels, alors si vous remarquer ça sera très gentil de me notifier. Si vous êtes intéressés pour joindre ITACTU, il suffit d’envoyer un petit email, je ne peut vous dire maintenant ni comment ni en quoi ça risque d’évoluer. Affaire à suivre …

I’m trying to clean my feed subscription and it’s really a very hard task, especially that everyday there are new blogs, many blogs are dead, lots of 404 and domain errors … and the most boring when feed url change without any redirection or notification. Most notable today, is feedster which become powered by splogs and no more serving any interesting results. Delicious is following but hope they find a solution before it will be too late. Technorati and Google are the only ones providing clean and relevant results.

Today unsubscribed from :

• — Scripting News I was subscribed since two years to this very active blog (10 years old), but realized today that I never read a single post.
• — * Feedster All feed’s search from feedster, it become splogs only
• — MSN Search All MSN search’s feed not relevant at all
• — Google Video Feeds Found nothing new/interesting over feeds
• — Unofficial Yahoo weblog One of the dead blogs of weblogs, inc.
• — “Yahoo” Flickr Too much updates and nothing interesting

Going to unsubscribe very soon From :

• - Delicious feeds started to be full of spammers and delicious seems doing nothing to keep it clean.
• - Mozilla Add-ons updates/approves very slow.
• - Flock’s, they are still updating, but not sure who is still using this.

Tabara3.com is a new website created by Abu Muhammed, which aims to connect blood donors and people in urgent need of blood in hospitals. I think it’s really great initiative that should be adopted by official institutions and organizations such the red crescent society.
