Live quoi ?
Atterant.
C’est excusable quand on se trouve dans une zone sous-développée et qu’orange est le seul à proposer de l’ADSL. Mais ici, en ville, c’est incompréhensible.
Et toujours cet utilisateur de Numericable, dans un quartier qui n’est pas câblé et ne le sera jamais. Ça me perturbe. Violemment.
L'école où l'on enseigne avec rigueur et honnêteté le cheminement personnel vers la paix.
À moi les bleus et les courbatures.
N’empêche, en moto, ça irait plus vite… 
My iPod shuffle is alive again!
Je le remets sur sa base, et là miracle, il monte sur le Mac. Il est juste vide, comme ré-initialisé. J'indique à iTunes avec quoi le synchroniser, et il charge sans problème sa playlist.
Super, je vais pouvoir me remettre au jogging.
Stop à sarko !
Un choix de couleur spécialement pour Framboise, tiens…
TPB AFK needs you!
Some people really deserve to be helped. And I’d really love to have $500 to give, for the pleasure and pride of having my name credited in the movie.
Here’s an excerpt of the presentation:
Two years in the making, TPB AFK is a documentary about three computer addicts who revolutionized the world of media distribution with their hobby homepage. How did Tiamo, a beer crazy hardware fanatic, Brokep a tree hugging eco activist and Anakata, a paranoid cyber libertarian, get the White House to threaten the Swedish government with trade sanctions? TPB AFK explores what Hollywood's most hated pirates go through on a personal level.

This campaign starts exactly one month before the Court of Appeal hearings start in The Pirate Bay trial in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2009 the founders of The Pirate Bay were convicted to 1 year in jail and to pay damages of around 4 million dollars for having 'assisted in making copyrighted content available'. The precedent in the Pirate Bay case will have consequences for the future of the internet. We will cover the upcoming trial closely.
After the court case we'll sit down with two years of footage and start editing a first roughcut. The money we raise here will go to studio rent and an editor.
Castrage…
Garance : « Oui, mais c'est comme pour les chats : si tu les castres pas, ils se reproduisent sans arrêt et ils finissent par être des millions. »
Voilà, ça calme.
Nike- or Zune+ ?
One major problem that is not evoked in this blog post is the very bad handling of the playlists and special Nike+ mixes.
First of all, and this one is not a Nike+ - specific problem, since it occurs also with the iPod application : I have BOUGHT two (absolutely fucking great, by the way) Nike+ Original Run mixes from iTunes store. The file type is, obviously “Purchased AAC audio file” and while it worked perfectly on the first generation iPod nano, it is impossible to synchronize them to my iPhone 4.
If I create a playlist, the playlist is copied, but empty.
I had to create an Apple Lossless Version (my default format for CD importing) to be able to finally synchronize them to my iPhone 4 and thus be able to use them in Nike+, to run.
Now I can sync them. Unbelievable. This is so Microsoft feeling. Unworthy of Apple.
But even then, they are not recognized as Nike+ runnings, but only as regular music files and thus do no appear in the Nike+ app in the special section, nor as being used in the Nike+ web statistics.
And of course, there are all the bugs and whistles already widely evoked, such as the sometimes inability to resume a run once paused or the fact that for the CASSIUSPLAY Nike+ Original Run that is composed of a 45:36 mix and a 5:02 looped Stretching Track, the damn thing plays only the 5:02 track, which is absolutely driving me mad, when I run for about an hour and don’t want to reset my run once I’ve started it.
All these problems didn’t exist on the first gen iPod nano.
Let’s now talk about the hilarious (because it’s better to laugh than cry) associated website. All the problems of the website already existed back then, when I used the iPod nano. They only became worse and/or different with the evolutions recently brought to the website.
I won’t get into detailed problems about this fucking site, but…
• it’s slow as hell
• won’t allow me to use 1Password to avoid having to enter my password every time
• the “automatically send workout data to nikeplus.com” setting only works if I hit the “Sync” button once I have plugged my iPhone
• it’s slow and buggy
• made in fucking Flash ! which is even more moronic, since it’s an Apple partnership
Come on. Flash. On an Apple-related website. Hello ? Do you realize it doesn’t work on iOS Safari ?
• it’s slow
• it’s buggy
• it’s slow
• it’s buggy
• the friend feature is bugged as hell : Z could find me, add me and see me on her page, but I can't find her, although she could add me and I agreed and thus it says I've added her but I can't see her stats, it's absolutely ridiculous
• and did I mention it's a fucking Flash site, slow and buggy ?
Too bad, because there are a lot of fun and nice ideas and features and it's very nice to be able to have one integrated system to track all the running stats. It would be really great if both the iPhone embedded app and the web site were not coded by lazy morons and it had been thoroughly tested.
Feels like a Zune+
There are so many complaining people on the Apple support site that I won’t even have to add my two (euro)cents.
I just don’t understand how or why this can go on like this. It’s just not acceptable, especially from a company like Apple and even worse when partnering with a company like Nike.
I’m really pissed off.
But I have to go running anyway.
Hmmm… not tonight. My stomach hurts.
Hail Mary B.
Second, the people who install a surveillance camera for their trash can only be psychopaths. Which was already obvious, since they own and love a… cat. Well, “the sun” being the piece of shit it is, no wonder they turned this into such an epic adventure for the damn cat.
Premièrement, cette femme est mon héroïne et je suis atterré qu’elle soit ainsi traquée et obligée de présenter des excuses et dire que c’est une blague, alors que c’était un beau geste civique.
Deuxièmement, les gens qui installent une caméra pour surveiller leur poubelle ne peuvent être que des psychopathes. Ce qui était déjà clair, du fait que non seulement ils possèdent, mais en plus aiment un… chat.
Merci à Number One pour m’avoir signalé le comportement exemplaire de cette brave dame.
Éhonté…
Vous pouvez aussi aller la voir à la source : Comment se faire élire ?.
Pour reprendre ses propres mots : casse toi, pauv’ con !
Dermatophytose incarnée…
Le terme n’est en effet pas approprié, car sarko et ses amis n’ont même pas (plus) le respect de la famille qu’avaient pétain et ses acolytes. Même si eux l’instrumentalisaient, il avaient au moins une relative décence sur le sujet.
Ainsi, sarko et compagnie ne sont, finalement, que des émanations méphitiques du medef. Ce n’est même plus une idéologie politique nauséabonde qui sous-tend les actes de ces gens, mais juste des motivations purement vénales.
Et ça va jusqu’à, aujourd’hui, un discours et des actes que même le pen n’aurait pas osé tenir et accomplir.
La dernière prestation télévisée du duce français était d’ailleurs mise en scène dans un cadre et une dramaturgie dignes de benito. Et ce n’est pas un hasard, mais juste en totale cohérence avec la forme autant que le fond de la gouvernance actuelle du pays.
Un pays dont le gouvernant dit qu’on doit le respect à quelqu’un, juste parce que cette personne est riche. Et qui dit que les vrais ennemis du pays sont les mères de trois enfants ayant travaillé toute leur vie, qui bénéficient d’une retraite un peu améliorée… Je ne me sens même pas capable d’épiloguer sur ces divagations monstrueuses.
Il est temps de chercher où et comment fuir ce pays.
Déchéance…
- soit déchoir de leur nationalité française sarko et tous ses amis ;
- soit déchoir de leur nationalité française tous les autres français, à commencer par moi.
Parce que, visiblement, que ces deux groupes aient la même nationalité est insupportable aux uns comme aux autres.
Merci de faire au plus vite, parce que j'ai honte, là. De plus en plus. À tel point que je ressens ce que ressentaient les ricains qui n’osaient pas se définir comme tels, à l'époque de bush.
Run, baby. Run.
When I tried to plug my Nike + receiver to my iPhone 4, I got this message :
Oh great. I totally forgot they built this into the new hardwares, since the iPod Touch version 2, I think.
Anyway, the question was then: how do I make it work, since I don’t see a Nike + iPod application in the built-in apps?
Let’s try the App Store… Nothing.
And yet, on the pages that talk about the Nike + iPod, you can clearly see and iPhone 4 with the Nike + iPo app on the first page:
So…
I was feeling quite stupid.
And then after a few tries, I went to the Settings and scrolled down to the bottom of the page, where are all the apps… settings. And there it was !
Inside this, I could activate the function, which made the app appear in the iPhone pages, choose my Power Song and everything. And link my shoe sensor.
I still have to replace my Nike + watch remote batteries and find an iPhone 4 holster and it’ll be perfect.
Here I go, I’ll try to run as smooth as possible, to avoid hurting my knee again. And even smoother, to try to forget it still hurts.
For now, I’ll only run 5 kilometers at a time, for a while. And I hope I’ll be back to 10 kilometers soon. And maybe, this time, keep on running through the winter. But, damn, I’d really love to live in a place where the winter is warm and reasonably dry.
Disco is not dead, but MJ is, sadly…
In fact, this update led to a game that crashed just after loading finished on my iPhone. Fortunately, they fixed this quite fast, with the release of a 1.3 version. Now, that’s quite a giant leap, in terms of software development, when you go from version 0.0.1 to 1.3 in just a few days, isn’t it?
Anyway, this is is solved . And they added a few more achievements. Why not. Quite lame, compared to what everybody wants: the Zen Garden. But why not.
And a ridiculous French translation. Could have been avoided. Should have been avoided, in fact. But whatever, my iPhone runs in English anyway, so I don’t have to suffer this, at least.
But what is a very bad move is the withdrawal of the the Michael Jackson looking Dancing Zombie. This was the most cute and fun zombie of all. My favorite. And my family’s favorite, too.
It was a nice homage to Michael Jackson and I’m sure he would have loved it and laughed his ass off, while playing with it, if he had known.
And some tight asses, with nothing better to do, found it worthwhile to “object” this. And some even tighter asses at PopCap decided, among other bad decisions, to replace the much beloved “MJ Zombie” with a lame “Disco Stu Zombie”…
And there are some other little troubles, like the description text that is clear and readable on the previous version (upper screenshot, with MJ Zombie) and blurry and ugly (lower screenshot, with lame replacement Disco Zombie)… And it’s even more obvious if you see the images at full size. I’ve reduced them to better fit, here.
My best advice?
Do like my wife and kids: do NOT update PvZ and keep MJ alive. In fact, I will downgrade my iPhone to the previous version. Not the 0.0.1, no. The previous one. The working and cool one.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Disco. But not at the expense of Michael Jackson. I’m angry at the morons who thought they had to kill him a second time.
