Moving soon...

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:01:06 +0100

I learned today that Posterous has been supporting custom CSS and design for a week.

I think my hesitations are over - cervelle.org will move over there as soon as I have the time to cook up a banner.

Digital natives

You’ve heard about them - you may even be one of them. Today I bring you the most important discovery in modern anthropology: I have met an MMO native.

Some explanations about this last post. Posterous.com allows you to blog via email: text, links, indents and pics, it seems to work fairly well. I tried emailing the same content, and all I got was the photo.

So I’m trying again, but with text only this time. I mean, if you can layout properly, what’s not to like? ==> This is right aligned. And a blank line here: Bullet points below: - One - Two - Three A link A word in blue.

EDIT: Obviously, it didn’t work. The italics above is the formatted text. FAIL. Not even a line break. Well, Posterous, there’s a point for you. Now if only you would accept custom CSS…

A Worldwide (Web) Moment

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:10:00 +0100

So last night was Worldwide Moment, a minute for the world to celebrate peace through the internet. At 9:09 GMT, on the 9/9/09, hundreds of people from dozens of countries took a photo of their life. Sounds corny, huh? Well, like you, I don’t really know how such an initiative can promote world peace.

But there’s something here. Something powerful. The web, social or just your plain old email forwarding vanilla flavor, proves every day how it can bring together people of all horizons. From social movements like the protests in Iran to charities such as Twestival, we now have the tools to reach the far corners of the earth and, maybe some day, become a real global village. A village that doesn’t look like this one.

This morning, as I was trying to recover from staying up late by drinking too much tea, a thought occurred to me: what about virtual worlds? If there is somewhere on the net where you get a sense of cross continental community, it’s on platforms such as Second Life.

After a quick google and Twitter search, it doesn’t look like the event was relayed on a virtual environment. It’s a shame, because residents of Second Life would have loved taking snaps what they were doing together at the time. And they’ve also showed how much they can do to further good causes - for example by raising over a quarter million US dollars to fight cancer last July. Argl. Now I really wish I had thought of this before.

Let’s talk about it for 10/10/2010.

I'll be back soon

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:09:37 +0100

The site is online (yet still being tweaked by my lovely webdesigner), the twitter page is reskinned, but I don’t have the brainpower to look into the CSS for this Tumblr. There’s a new, clean them though.

The rest will have to wait until tomorrow.

A new site-slash-blog soon

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:40:56 +0100

I’m currently working on my new online presence masterplan, and cervelle.org will probably become a real blog once again.

So please bear with me and there will once again be somewhat interesting stuff in your RSS readers.
