La revue des ressources : Artaud ou le droit à l’existence littéraire
L’acte d’écrire est avant tout pour Artaud « la quête d’une reconnaissance identifiante de la part d’un interlocuteur mis en position d’Autre, de porte-parole » [1]. Sans cette garantie, il n’a pas la confirmation de son existence : celle de sa pensée tout d’abord, mais aussi de son être tout entier. Il risque alors la déperdition, l’anéantissement de sa propre personne. Pourquoi Artaud écrit-il à Rivière qu’il veut savoir s’il peut continuer à écrire ? Et à écrire des poèmes ? Parce qu’il a bien senti que la poésie est étroitement liée à cet effondrement de la pensée qu’il ressent avec autant d’acuité, que c’est la poésie qui l’engage dans cette perte centrale, et que c’est aussi la poésie qui « lui donne [...] la certitude d’en pouvoir seule être l’expression et lui promet, dans une certaine mesure, de sauver cette perte elle-même, de sauver sa pensée en tant qu’elle est perdue. »

Myths about code comments - Jason in a Nutshell
It seems to me getting good at writing comments is an under-appreciated part of a Programmer's development. However, I feel that this is a part of programming that's almost as important as writing code itself.

APIs and Lists from Jeni Tennison on 2009-12-13 (public-lod@w3.org from December 2009)
Dave (Reynolds) raised the point that lists are an integral part of most APIs. This is another thing that we know we need to address in the UK linked government data project, but are unsure as yet how best to do so.

Shifting focus - Edward Bilodeau
Thanks to Ed for his wonderful piece of work that is his weblog.Shifting focus
Posted: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 ~ 4:54 PM
This is the last new post that I'll be making on this blog. I decided a while back to shift the focus of my web activities, and thought it was time to formally close things off here.
Why stop posting here? Mostly just a feeling that I needed to shake things up a bit, to put some serious effort behind a few other ideas that I've wanted to work on for a while. Making a clean break just felt right.
There may still be some activity on this site as I back-fill some old posts from other blogging platforms. My goal is to eventually have this as a (more or less) complete archive of my personal blogging from early 1998 to this year. That's a background project of mine that I plan on allocating a bit more time to in 2010.
A huge thanks to Karl Dubost for hosting this blog for so long. In addition to providing this infrastructure, Karl has supported and inspired me in more ways then he may realize. That you are reading this today is due in no small part to him, so you can thank (or blame!) him.

An open letter to Eric Schmidt « @vanelsas
ahahahah. I told you so ? :DThis imbalance is unhealthy. It leaves Google with almighty power and the user with little. It is impossible for a user not to be part of this exchange, unless he doesn’t connect to the Internet.

schemata architecture office: flat project
bois siliconéearlier, in june this year, japanese architecture studio schemata poured color epoxy
on the top board of school desks which were used in elementary schools. the now 'flat'
desks were before uneven due to time deterioration or scribbling. although the school
desks all have the same shape, they gradually gain individual character through the personal
items of the pupil, like a school bag or a hat. however, in this project, the individuality of
the desks is regenerated through colors, thanks to the craftsmanship and expertise
of nakamura shuhei. he reset the the unevenness to 'flat' with translucent color epoxy.
deep points are mirrored by dense colors and shallow points by more transparent shades.
this project is part of the 'flatproject' series.

Ten Rules for Being Human by Cherie Carter-Scott
- You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
- You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
- There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
- Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
- Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
- "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
- Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
- What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
- Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
- You will forget all this.
