Ça c'est pas bien de voler la clientèle du Figaro !
Bande de cons.
Des portraits…
Olivier Roller m’impressionne par sa façon de capter des choses puissantes, à travers un dispositif apparemment très simple, en cherchant à accentuer les traits, en ne cachant pas, bien au contraire, les rides, les défauts, les irrégularités, les imperfections, les asymétries.
Un seul est raté, dans cette série, mais c’est la faute du modèle, qui n’a rien compris, chez qui le «métier» prend toujours le dessus : Jean-Louis Debré, qui n’arrive pas à rester neutre, à se départir de son sourire d’homo politicus, gâchant ainsi la série, belle par l’atonie des expressions.
Jeanne Moreau, déjà impressionnante au naturel, devient ici une sorte de créature mythologique, qu’on imagine dévorant l’aventurier imprudent.
Je vous laisse le plaisir de découvrir cette trop courte série.
Et prenez le temps d’aller voir les autres. Ses portraits de portraits (des photos de bustes romains) sont assez fascinants et la mise en abyme devient ici une façon de donner à voir ces portraits avec un regard nouveau.
Et que dire de ses visions backstage des défilés de mode.
Son œuvre est vraiment forte.
Et je n’en reviens pas de voir que ce site a été fait avec Claris Home Page !

Ahlala, encore une frustration, tiens, un métier que j’aurais aimé faire. Photographe, pas politicien, hein. Mais bon, comme mon père me le rappelle si souvent, je suis un raté.

Among other problems, was the fact that Aperture 3’s memory usage was quite insane and he sometimes even claimed it needed insane storage space, for the sole purpose of Library upgrading.
For example, a user got this quite disturbing request, trying to upgrade a vault he just created:
"Not Enough Disk Space
The vault “ApertureVault” does not have enough space to hold your library.
17179869183.16 GB is needed, but only 68.86 GB is available."
The hilarious answer of a contributor made me laugh and certainly helped lighten the mood, in those days:
Hello Reebo:
I think this is just another example of excess complaining. Disk storage is cheap. I think you should just run out immediately and but a new 17179869184GB disk drive.
Just my 2 cents

Fortunately, the 3.0.1 update solved most, if not all problems. And I’m now patiently waiting for the last faces to be detected, for the second time. And this time’s will be the good one.
iFaceBook
Anyway, the instructions on how to configure iChat (and other clients, but we don’t care) are here. The good thing on this link is they will give you your “Screen Name” if you’re already logged in, saving you some time.
Here they are if you’re too lazy and you know your screen name.
Go to the iChat menu and select Preferences… you can also press ⌘, (command and coma at the same time) as in almost every Mac application.
Click on the Accounts tab.
Then click the + at the bottom.
Select Jabber from the Account Type pull-down menu.
Then enter the following info:
Account Name:
Password:
Click the arrow next to Server Options and enter the following info:
Server: chat.facebook.com
Port: 5222
(the box labeled "Use SSL"”should be unchecked)
It should look like this:
Finally, click Done. And close the Preferences window.
If it’s not done automatically, or the next time you relaunch iChat, open this Facebook buddy list window in the Window menu of iChat and select the
Afterwards, you already know how to use iChat, it’s the same.
But you will only be able to use text chat. No audio, no video and no file transfer (that includes images embedded in the chat). Not as useful and polyvalent as the real iChat, using an AIM or @mac.com or @me.com account, in other words. But I’m sure many people will be happy to be able to chat on Facebook without having to keep a browser window open.
Besides, it allows to use any Jabber compatible chat client, on any platform, even mobile.
And yes, I confess: I made this blog entry, speaking about a new feature of Facebook for the sole purpose of testing if it generates more hits on this blog. Not that I’m looking for big figures anyway, since it’s not a day job (not even moonlighting, only a pleasure) ; no, only because I’m curious. ;o)
Earth Hour 2010
C’est le moment de rédécouvrir le feu de bois et la bougie. Et les étoiles au-dessus des villes, pour celles qui éteindront assez de leur pollution visuelle…
Malgré ça ?
« Je t'aime malgré tes goûts musicaux. » est tout de même excellent, vous ne trouvez pas ?
Mais ils ont aussi « N’oublie pas, ce qui est à toi est à moi. » dans leurs suggestions…
Delicious iBooks?
It can be because they bought the developer, Delicious Monster. But wouldn’t they have announced that proudly already?
Or because it’s a coincidence, although quite unlikely.
Or because Redmond is not the only one, anymore, knowing how to use photocopiers…
In the first case, it’s good news for everybody and a scoop you’ve read only here (I think). In the second and third case, they’ll have a lawsuit on their desk by tomorrow.
Come on, Apple, don’t fall as low as microsoft, you’re better than this.
iPad
And I was certain I couldn’t get excited by whatever else would be announced.
But they released a sublime hardware, with the aspect I wished for the iPhone. And the iPad is perfect for my needs, as long as I could afford a WiFi + 3G model with 64GB and the corresponding data plans. If the ones available where I live are as affordable as the ones AT&T announced for the iPad release, it’ll be nice.
Anyway, this will make a wonderful tool for students.
And inventory keeping will be so easy and cool, with this tool.
And, and…
And I’m sure some people will develop the hardware/software combination to transform this into a graphic tablet for the Mac. It will be wonderful for graphic design photo retouching and so on.
I like the tongue in cheek humor with the first background showed, for the iPad. A slate, to mock the “iSlate” rumors:
Oh, and did you notice the filenames of the iPad pictures on Apple’s website: herosomething. Seems like a nice code name for the iPad, “Hero”.
Ok, now, when will this be in our hands? Can’t wait.
