Here is the SPIP skeletton I have been using since the creation of my website. It’s based on a skeletton designed by atypik{.biz} but I ended up modifying it a lot.

• Some SEO optimization: adding the title of the article in the < title > tag, use of < h1 >< /h1 > tags, increased use of < meta > tags, “alt” attributes for < img > tags etc.
• Full integration of the weather forecast page with the SPIP skeletton (not available in English unfortunately)
• Using script.aculo.us to give a touch of Ajax to the website (that’s what I am using to toggle the display of articles on the main page)
• Displaying a random image from my gallery, added Google statistics and search box as well as a CSS menu
• Management of 404-errors (returning the appropriate error-code in the HTTP header) in article.html
• Fully bilingual website (French and English)
• Added source code coloring
• W3C validation of the CSS files and of some of the HTML pages
• Enabled the website for RSS feeds with the following line in the < head > tag <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”BaroqueW - RSS” href=”http://www.baroquew.net/spip/backend.php3?lang=<:lang:>”>
• Changed the CSS to display logos in the articles header
• Fixing the boards and comments, adding a bubble style for the comments, offering comments a more important place on the website
• Major update: improved user experience when using Internet Explorer for those out there who still live in a cave. You will enjoy the website better using Firefox or Safari.
• Improved rendering and nicer colors on articles and on the main page, especially for notes and embedded code
• Reorganized article page to ease navigation on the website.

Final update: May 21st 2007 since I am now using WordPress.

For those of you who are still using Spip 1.8.3, you can download an older version of my skeletton here.

As you might have realized, I am taking back the activity here after some busy time at school. I even have a proof that I was working! It’s an article concerning the use of P2P in SIP networks, more focused on audioconferencing applications. I am planning to add some more posts in a while. Probably an article about LaTeX (in French only) among others. Expect also some new posts from Nikkitaa, including one about our visit at the Riksdag, the Swedish parliament.

Here is the report that kept me busy lately for the Practical VoIP class I took earlier. It deals with the integration of P2P technics on a SIP based audioconferencing application. More precisely we tried to demonstrate how it was possible to keep the same functionalities with a P2P environment and how to keep using SIP messages to support the P2P operations. Most of the times I used Chord as an example. Below you can find the .pdf file.

UPDATE: I added in attachment the correction of our papers by the teacher. That is the most complete correction I ever got on any of my assignments and/or exams.

Voilà un rapport auquel j’ai collaboré ces dernières semaines comparant les différentes solutions pour intégrer l’utilisation du P2P à un système d’audioconférence utilisant le protocole SIP. Plus généralement nous nous sommes attachés à expliquer comment il était possible d’intégrer le support du P2P en utilisant des messages SIP, le plus souvent en prenant Chord comme exemple. Ci-joint le .pdf en anglais : Rapport - P2P SIP.

Mise-à-jour : Ci-joint la plus complète des corrections jamais reçue à un de mes devoirs. Presque chaque mot, expression est commenté. Bonne nouvelle, le fond ne l’est pas tellement, c’est plus la forme, preuve que ça ne devait pas être trop mauvais
