As I’ve been doing some vari­a­tions on the tra­di­tional cheesecake recipe, with more or less success, this post will help remind me of some of the suc­cessful variations.

One of the reason for all of these testings, apart from a taste in exciting new culinary exper­i­ments, is that the typical ingre­dients to make those yummy New-York style cheese­cakes are not that easily found in France.

I was searching for some Textpattern (the CMS pow­ering the Jorid) plugin which could give me the pos­si­bility to display a playlist of some of Jib’s ani­ma­tions, and decided that cre­ating my own plugin would be quicker.

It uses Jeroen Wijering’s Flash Media Player to be able to insert Flash movies (.flv) into a webpage, in the manner of a local “youtube”.

While looking for flash appli­ca­tions and other geeky stuff, I redis­covered yes­terday PicLens, a plugin for web browsers that allows people an immersive expe­rience into pic­tures galleries.

I remember how I was really impressed the first time I saw it; and I wanted to implement it else­where, but didn’t have the time to have more fun with it than with standard web­sites like Flickr, or Google Images

Anyway, now I’ve done the nec­essary things to have it imple­mented on my website (once you’ve installed the plugin, hover the mouse cursor over the pic­tures thumb­nails and you should see a little icon that you can click on to jump into the wall of pictures).

It’s also imple­mented on my photo gal­leries.

Now, just have to sit back and enjoy the show…

Blogged with the Flock Browser

EDIT: It had been a long time I’ve not been enthu­si­astic about a browser. Firefox was a great improvement back then, with the tabs fea­tures, and all sorts of add-ons, but Flock adds a really impressive list of fea­tures in a very inte­grated expe­rience which makes all sorts of keeping track tasks a breeze.

  • email checking (from last version, available only with Yahoo! Mail and Gmail)
  • Pho­to­bucket and Flickr inte­gration (feeds, people noti­fi­cation, and bulk upload)
  • Feeds tracking with import/export fea­tures (OPML)
  • Integral pages indexing, which allows for a more effi­cient search into the visited webpages
  • blog posting directly from the browser (for blogs having an XML-RPC API that allows for such a thing) — to date, Yahoo! 360 does not propose this, nor Mul­tiply (while lots of others do, MSN Spaces included appar­ently). This Word­Press powered blog obvi­ously does it  :D
  • A Web Clip­board that keeps all kinds of clip­pings in the browser for further blogging/sharing etc.
  • Other ser­vices inte­gration like Youtube, and deli­cious bookmarks
