So, after a 10 year hiatus (ten years !!), I'm rebooting this blog. New WP theme, no new topics except less (much less) WordPress. Cya soon :)

One year younger than WordPress
A quick ping today by Jeff Chandler reminded me that nine years ago this blog started running on WordPress. Time flies when you're worry-free :) So, before everyone celebrates WordPress' 10 years birthday, I'll blow a few candles first: happy 9th birthday planetOzh :)
Christmas Giveaway: Win a Copy of The Smashing Book
Christmas is around the corner, so how about a little giveaway? I feel like offering one of my readers a copy of The Smashing Book (313 pages, paperback, full-color images on coated paper, seems like a pretty book indeed). Drooling yet? Enter the giveaway!
Bye Bye Trackbacks
Lately I realized that I absolutely don't care any longer about trackbacks. At the beginning, it was fun to get a notice every time someone would link to my blog, and I would religiously check their site and probably discovered cool blogs this way. But now? While I value comments, I just don't see the point of trackbacks any more.…
No, I Didn’t Read Your Email or Twitter
Hey, guess who's back! After roughly 4 weeks offline I'm almost back to my computer. This has been a very enjoyable month: one week on the beach in the south of France with kids, ten days diving in Croatia with my wife, and visiting family in between. So, if you've sent me some mail, a Twitter message, or left a…
Got Five Bucks?
I find most online advertising from little to very annoying, but I admit I somehow like those 125×125 pixel banners and always pay attention to them on other websites. I've been wanting to play with these banners for quite some time now, but never really spent the few minutes to do so. I've applied to Buy Sell Ads, got approved…
Back On The Saddle!
Hello my dear Readers, guess who's back? My holidays were pretty enjoyable. I spent a lot of time with my two kids, and had a very enjoyable week with my wife in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico where we had a taste of all the great stuff this country has to offer: white sand beaches, warm sea, fantastic scuba dives in…
Offline For a Month
Yeepee, it's that time again. During the whole month of July, I'll be mostly offline: sporadic infrequent internet access to check any urgent email, but probably no activity on this blog. That means no code update, no great stuff for WordPress, no support for my plugins. I'm on the beach with my kids :)
DreamHost Invitation Codes (for Ridiculous Bandwidth and Storage)
For nearly 3 years now, all my online activities including this blog have been hosted at DreamHost. Nearly 3 years of overall positive experience then, otherwise I'd be obviously somewhere else :) The reason of this post is that I've just received five DreamHost invitation codes, that are worth the following: 4 times the normal disk and bandwidth (that is:…
How to Increase your Feed Subscribers: Don’t Miss Twitter
Increasing the number of your subscribers is (or should be!) one of any blogger's goal. You write to be hopefully read, and your subscribers are people you are sure do read you. Now, what about increasing effortlessly your loyal readership by (at least) 20%? Twitter is a fun little tool I've never really found any need for. I actually use…
