I don't use the photoshop unsharpen anymore - I prefer the high pass filter especially for applying selective sharpening. Don't hit it too hard though or the results will look artificial.

A new style of recycle-shop in the Marunouchi’s Brick Square. The website is built to capture the links between an object to a person, and a person to an object, in a flat and simple manner.
If all you had was an email address, would it not be nice to be able to have a mechanism to find someone's home page or OpenId from it? Two proposals have been put forward to show how this could be done. I will look at them and add a sketch of my own that hopefully should lead us to a solution that takes the best of both proposals.
This lists unique words and word frequencies occurring in a Python string. You can ignore or take account of letter case in distinguishing words, and you can pass it your own inclusion list of characters allowed in words (e.g. is "import123" the kind of word you want to list, or not? It might be if you're a programmer.) By default only alpha chars are allowed in words.
- A writes a new test and sees that it fails.
- B implements the code needed to pass the test.
- B writes the next test.
- A implements it.
Infrastructure provides the basic needs for society, and sustainable infrastructure systems are essential for the survival, health and well-being of a society. For developing countries, the civil and environmental engineer are at the epicenter in seeking means to enhance human life through modernization of infrastructure as evidenced by provision of shelter, water, and transport, amongst others.
The current rate of urbanization and industrialization has caused a rise in environmental issues, involving environmental mismanagement which has been associated with unforeseen global catastrophes. The problems are further aggravated with environmental degradation such as soil erosion, depletion of water resources, etc.
In order to meet these multifaceted challenges, proper planning, implementation and verification exercises are required, via an integrated, multidisciplinary and holistic approach. The global momentum for sustainable development must now lead to practical applications of the engineering and science of sustainability.
It might surprise parents to learn that it is not a waste of time for their teens to hang out online,” says Mizuko Ito, University of California, Irvine researcher and the lead author of the most extensive U.S. study to date on teens and their use of digital media. The study showed that America’s youth are developing important social and technical skills online often in ways adults do not understand or value.
ARCHIGRAM dominated the architectural avant garde in the 1960s and early 1970s with its playful, pop-inspired visions of a technocratic future after its formation in 1961 by a group of young London architects – Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron and Michael Webb.
“A new generation of architecture must arise with forms and spaces which seems to reject the precepts of ‘Modern’ yet in fact retains those precepts. We have chosen to by pass the decaying Bauhaus image which is an insult to functionalism. You can roll out steel – any length. You can blow up a balloon – any size. You can mould plastic – any shape. Blokes that built the Forth Bridge – they didn’t worry.”
So wrote David Greene in a poem published in the first issue of Archigram magazine or, as Greene’s co-editor, Peter Cook, called it “a message, or abstract communication”. It was published in 1961 on a large sheet of the cheapest available paper. Filled with Greene’s poems and sketches of architectural projects designed by Cook, Michael ‘Spider’ Webb and other friends, the magazine voiced their frustration with the intellectual conservatism of the British architectural establishment.
Human development is about putting people at the centre of development. It is about people realizing their potential, increasing their choices and enjoying the freedom to lead lives they value. Since 1990, annual Human Development Reports have explored challenges including poverty, gender, democracy, human rights, cultural liberty, globalization, water scarcity and climate change.

You're not alone. According to a 2009 Forrester Research study, 60 percent of companies are using IE6 as their default browser at work, as their IT departments are reluctant to upgrade and support a current browser. If you're in this situation, we've put together a letter you can pass on to your IT department. Just copy and paste it into an e-mail and customize it as you see fit. Get your colleagues to send a letter too.

Au sujet de reCaptcha… dans un échange par courriel, Karl Dubost propose une autre interprétation de l’intérêt de Google pour cette technologie:
« Je vois ReCAPTCHA comme un enjeu différent. Bien sûr c’est utile pour corriger les mauvaises numérisations de livres par le crowd sourcing, mais ce n’est pas la priorité numéro 1. Google a perdu le lead sur l’information extrêmement fraîche à cause de twitter. Re-Captcha est un cheval de troie des blogs. Il permet de savoir quels sont les articles de blogs qui sont commentés en temps réel. Et donc d’envoyer un bot d’indexation quand le contenu réel est vraiment modifié (plutôt que des headers HTTP mal configurés). »
J’adhère!

Over the last couple of years I have researched the design and use of typefaces used for signage, especially road signage. While road signs in general are scientifically researched for many decades in western countries, little is known about the parameters that lead to a maximum legibility of typefaces used in signage. And therefore the range of typefaces used on road signs is pretty wide.

The good news is that the eco-friendly trend seems to be growing. Chinese factories produce a third of the world’s solar cells and China will soon lead the world in wind turbines.
Unfortunately there is a lot misuse of GET over POST and vice versa. Both HTTP methods can achieve the same goals, but an incorrect choice between them can lead to unexpected and potentially harmful outcomes. So, to make sure we get things right, I present to you the definitive guide of choosing between GET and POST.
