    #blog: Building my own URL shortener.

    As I was looking into the different options to Publish on my Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere (see POSSE), I came across the idea of having a custom permashortlink service.


  • On my way to the IndeWeb

    As you might know, I’m taking some distance from Twitter and I’m trying to get back ownership on the content I publish online. Clearly I’m not the only one to take that path, neither the first one… In fact, there is a whole community of people or companies who share those values and principles. This community identify itself as the IndieWeb.

    TLDR: This website is now free from Google Analytics tracking. I’m giving a try to GoatCounter as a privacy-friendly alternative


  • Moving away from Twitter, to Mastodon & my own website

    It’s been a while since I published something here. Last post is from 2013! That’s almost exactly 10 years ago! For the last few years, for many different reasons, I didn’t take the time to write anything that was worth publishing. When I had to share something online, I was mostly relying on Twitter by default, without even thinking about it. It was easy, convenient, and quite a direct way to interact with the small circle of friends and relatives I have online. As many other people, I was also relying a lot on Twitter to keep myself up-to-date on both work-related and more personal topics.

    But here is the thing: I don’t want to use Twitter anymore.

  • Starting a "Reading List" posts series

    I read several articles on the Web every day.
    When discovering an article, if I find it interesting, or if I don’t have time to read it at the time, I put it aside on Pocket in order to easily find it later.

    The downsides are :

    • I put aside too many items
    • I often forgot to check out my reading list on Pocket
    • Pocket doesn’t provide a easy way share a bunch of links
    • I don’t want to save those on Pocket without a backup somewhere else

    Ce soir, pour la première fois depuis la création de mon compte il y a environ 3 400 tweets, je me suis fait agresser sur Twitter.

    Bon, d’accord, j’exagère un peu. C’est bien moins grave que ça en a l’air mais cette prise à partie m’a tellement surpris que j’en écris un article à chaud.

    A few weeks ago, a gave a quick talk about Grunt at @JSSophia, our local Javascript User Group.
    During this talk, my purpose was to quickly present the tool and show some example use cases.

    Over the past few weeks, I realized that I added grunt in every little side project I worked on.
    Thinking about it, I’m not sure if I can even imagine to start a project without this tool.


  • Compte-rendu du Riviera Coding Week-end

    This post is about the Riviera Coding Week-end, a geek event that took place in Nice (France) from 10 to 12 August 2012.
    As this post is closely related to a French event, I think for once, it’s more appropriate to write in French, even if I usually blog in English.
    If you’re anyway interested, I’m sure Google translate or any other translation tool can fit your needs…
