Let’s see, I’m American by birth and Swedish by choice. (I hear your shocked intake of breath and respond with a :Þ ) As for the rest of me, it’s harder to label.

Meilleurs vœux !

Bonne année à tous !

Un peu en retard certes, tout comme les cartes de bonne année que j’ai postées de Suède. Rentré de France à la toute fin de Décembre, je me suis mis en quête de quelques cartes dans le style suédois pour envoyer à ma famille. Et bien, en deux semaines, impossible d’en trouver une seule ! Pas de gott nytt år, pas de god jul, rien !

Renseignements pris auprès d’un Suédois, il semblerait que les cartes de vœux en Suède sont échangées avant Noël, ce qui explique sans doute que Posten/la Poste fournisse dès la mi-novembre une liste des dates limites auxquelles il faut envoyer ses cartes et colis à destination du monde entier afin qu’ils soient reçus à temps pour Noël.

Notez donc dans vos petits carnets d’envoyer en avance vos prochaines cartes de vœux à vos amis suédois !

BarosqueletteW

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.

Announcement

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.
