TOKI WOKI. Blog

I'm still having a hard time believing what I'm about to write, but hopefully you will.

That was my intro, buddy.

A little bit of context

I listen to music, I try as hard as I can to be eclectic but let me confess that: I've always loved Hip-Hop. Of course my Hip-Hop heroes have changed through the years, but there's one that never left my inner podium... He's Canadian, he's weird (proof: he's worn a platypus shirt, once), he's probably the most subtle writer I know (OK, with Yoni Wolf) and he's evolving.

He's Buck 65. › Continue reading...

WordPress' Shortcode API is a really cool thing, and since I'm working on a Drupal site these days I've been looking for something similar. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything... There are some implementations out there but the ones I found and tested always come pre-bundled with specific tags and don't always provide an extensible and stable logic.

So I made mine!

Introducing Boks, my latest and most ambitious AIR app to this day!

Do you design web pages? Do you write HTML and CSS? Ever heard about the Grid System and Blueprint CSS? Thought it was a pain to implement? Think again, fool! › Continue reading...

Hi there folks, this is simply a quick post to wish you a happy 2009!

I've updated WebKut, Shrink O'Matic and Kwot (that hopefully will not get spammed anymore). I've also refreshed the homepage and blog header... Subtle changes, for sure!

Doubts? Here's a before/after:

A new project is online! It's called Kwot, and it allows you to share and store your favorite quotes.

The UI is quite minimalistic, with focus on simplicity. Navigate through quotes with your mouse wheel, your keyboard's left and right arrow or the mini timeline at the bottom. Add a quote by clicking on the plus button at the bottom right hand corner. If you don't pick any color they'll be automatically chosen via a magic algorithm! Another magic algorithm will rotate your quote in 3D space. But don't worry you will preview that in real-time, ha!

I might add user (login) support, language tagging, an RSS feed and stuff like that but don't expect that too soon, holidays are coming!

If you don't have the Flash plugin or if you visit the site on an iPhone the site will look quite different but everything will remain!

I'm home, sick, so I've had time to do something I should have done earlier: add an Apple Touch icon to the site. So here's what it looks like!

Despite what the official docs say, I've followed Playground Blues' advice. So my apple-touch-icon.png is 158x158 pixels.

Geeky post? True.

Finally a new AIR app! It's called FFFFOUND Desktop and if you like FFFFOUND you'll love it.

Un billet en Français, pour une fois.

L'idée est simple : j'écoute beaucoup de musique et j'aime la nouveauté ; je connais des gens dans le même cas ; en parler c'est bien, l'archiver quelque part c'est mieux !

Voilà donc "Ébruiter" : un petit blog entre-nous, sans prétention, pour partager nos points de vues sur nos écoutes respectives. Probablement sans intérêt pour plein de monde mais on s'en fout, on est des dingues.

Nicholas et moi avons ouvert la danse. Alex, Rox et Renaud, faîtes chauffer !

Here is Shrink O'Matic, my new AIR application!

Simply drag and drop images on it and they'll be resized as you wish.
