Poésie Lagavulin

Ce soir, je m’accord un bon dram de Lagavulin 16 ans, et ça me donne envie de partager un des meilleur review que j’ai lu, toutes catégories confondues:

Est-ce que Montréal serait “game” de faire des viaducs piétonniers comme celui-ci ?

The Setup

Pour un power-user nerd comme moi, The Setup est un blog de rêve. Des figures inspirantes nous expliquent le hardware/software qu’ils utilisent.

Vidéo du Japon

Si vous n’avez pas envie de vous taper mes 500 photos du Japon, peut-être qu’un petit montage vidéo de 6 minutes fera votre bonheur.

Je vous conseille fortement d’allez le voir directement sur Vimeo pour la version HD.

Twitter Engineering Blog

On the Twitter Engineering Blog, Ben made a visual representation of their development work:

As a fun way to kick things off, I ran Code Swarm over a few essential production apps. Icons represent developers, and particles represent files added or modified. It doesn’t cover prototypes or contributions to open source, so it isn’t exactly scientific, but it still goes to show Twitter’s explosive growth mirrored in engineering.

Al3x and Good Things

Alex Payne is the lead developer at Twitter. I follow his blog because he writes interesting (long) articles about the things he cares about. His ideas are clear and easy to follow, which makes him almost relaxing to read. He also seems like a nice guy: once, I wrote him an email about a picture of his workstation that I saw on another website and he responded right away.

He’s starting a new series of post about things he likes. This is a good moment to start following him is you are not already.

Conception non-immaculée

Une jeune femme est née sans vagin. Ça s’peut.

Mais elle accouche d’un bébé en pleine santé 9 mois après s’être fait poignarder par son chum lorsqu’il l’a surprise en train de faire une fellation à un autre garçon.

Pas très immaculée comme conception, mais pas très loin du miracle non plus.

Wordpress to Twitter Test (and mini-guide)

This is actually a blog post to test my Wordpress -> Twitter setup, so I might as well explain why I attempt here, as a sort of mini-guide for those who want to do the same.

What I want is to post a tweet each time I add a new blog post on this blog. I want the tweet to be formatted as “Blog: The post title” with a shortened link that points to the post. Also, I want this link to contain Google Analytics tags so I can track if twitter is popular compared to my RSS feeds.

I was able to achieve this using a combination of :

  1. the Twitter tools plug-in, that takes care of posting to twitter
  2. and this code snippet that takes care of adding the Google Analytics tags and shortening the link.

Now, let’s hit that publish button to see if it works …
