In today's Ottawa Citizen was an interesting piece by Robert Sawyer (SF writer) about why many of his predictions of a decade ago had no forward movement. He had predicted major advances in nanotechnology, stem cell research and manned space flight.…

Life goes on

If life may began by the end we would see things from another angle. Another way to look at real-life very simply and with a natural elegance. We need to be assured/insure with confidence. This advertising communication is that of a French insurance group, which reinsures other insurance groups. The music is the same for over fifteen years and the theme of life everyday ordinary people.
Many major groups of life insurance are already following XML as CERN scientists who brings out… Continue

Work vs. Jobs

The good news - I think, after six months of at least irregular income, that things are finally looking up. I have a couple of development/documentation clients coming online as well as some secondary streams of income that look to be regular enough to get me back up to a solid, sustainable level, ironically without having to relocate.

Future Proof: Phase Transitions

It's been a while since last I wrote here. I fear that while I think these essays represent some of my best writing all told, they come at the expense of insuring that I have food in the pantry, the rent paid and the power on.

What changed between July 2007 and July of 2009? There are no fewer people (if any there are quite a… Continue

Décès de Francis Muguet

Nous saurons nous souvenir de Francis Muguet. Certains explorent déjà les nouvelles possibilités reposant sur les dernières publications de l' IEEE (WLAN - WiFi - 802.11). Francis ne verra pas l'après Web, mais cet après Web lui doit beaucoup. Je pense à un projet qui fera en sorte de faire découvrir à beaucoup cette personnalité scientifique qui a été un défenseur infatigable du libre accès aux documents fondamentaux que sont les résultats produits par les chercheurs. Les femmes e… Continue
