Just a followup. And a second one
my SecurID is dead again. The 8888888888 disease. Be happy, I wrote that without using a blink tag nor 'text-decoration: blink'. AOLTW should use a more stable hardware anyway, it's the second time in 3 months and that becomes painful.
As a consequence, I am totally unable to read my @netscape.com mail so use the link in the previous blog entry below if you have to mail me. Thanks.
You don't have the right to look at specs, drafts, emails, nothing. Please try to guess what each proposed CSS property below does looking only at its name and send me a mail with your guesses. Please do NOT send direct mail to my @netscape.com address. Thanks a lot for your cooperation.

This article is great. A consultant from Cap Gemini Ernst & Young France is interviewed by the webnews service Le Journal du Net about the future of WiFi. His conclusion is crystal clear : it will be a niche market or a mass market. He could have said success or failure....
Hey, reader! If you want to be famous, be recognized as an expert, and are able to call a journalist to tell him pure tautologies, change of job: apply for a Consultant position at Cap Gemini Ernst & Young France.
Can't believe the yogurt I had during my breakfast was 227 grams! This is about twice the size of a french yogurt. 99% fat-free, looks like bubble gum, tastes like bubble gum, has the consistence of a jellyfish. The list of ingredients show stuff that you would never find in an european yogurt. If this is fat-free, our french yogurts should be caloric bombs, and they are not. I guess everything here is a question of quantity. People won't buy products packaged in small quantities, and when they open something, they finish it. Nice vicious circle indeed.
What's a torus? You don't know? United Press International can explain: that's a donut!
We should, in the CSS WG, make a graph showing the hourly rate of proposed keyword additions to CSS, correlated to the number of posts in w3c-css-wg. This would be quite funny. We could easily see when Hixie is awake or not, see when we start working on CSS white-space treatment, and so on. I clearly remember one of the main concerns expressed by our norwegian bork-bork-bork komrad Håkon Lie: the more keywords you add, the less embeddable is a CSS engine. I wonder if we reached a point where we can just call CSS "bloated". We'll see, our meeting starts in two hours and a half from now.
Sérieusement, c'est du foutage de gueule. Colombani appelle ça un débat? J'ai progressé dans la lecture du livre dans l'avion; mon opinion n'a pas changé. C'est une enquête apparemment minutieuse et fouillée.
Therefore, I consider totally dropping my daily reading of Le Monde even if my reasons are totally different from some others'. What I learn in this book is really shocking and sometimes frightening. But I have a problem: there is no replacement in France and my brain needs to read information on paper with opinions attached; not only pre-digested copies coming directly from AFP, Reuters, AP without any additional value. And that's unfortunately what most of the news network are today. I am currently watching CNN in my hotel room, and that's a real shame. The ads are better than the news... Blogs are not well enough written or have no journalistic background guaranteeing the quality and fairness of the contents. Hmmmm...
I'm in Boston for the CSS WG meeting. The flight was not very funny, with that fat italo-american sitting next to me, stinking and taking part of my place all the time. Saw Vincent who goes to the W3C Plenary Meeting too; we were students together and had dinner together in Boston. The restaurant was quite good but there was enough food for 3 persons with each order... No wonder people are getting so fat in this country. My bruschetta was made of 5 big slices of bread and enough tomato/basilic/stuff to feed a whole mafia! It's actually not so cold here, only 1-2 celsius. A car alarm just rang below my hotel window and I am now awake even if it's only 6am. Btw, my hotel, Hampton Inn in Cambridge, 5 minutes away walking from the expensive Sonesta, has free high-speed internet access in all rooms. To be compared to the $10 daily fee at the Sonesta!
