  • I ♥ Phaune Radio

    Je n’écoute plus la radio. Tsé bien, celle qui diffuse encore sur les ondes. Enfin, je l’écoute, parfois, quand je loue une camionnette pour déménager. C’est te dire que c’est pas si souvent, je suis développeur, pas déménageur. Bref, je ne l’écoute pas en ligne non plus. Ça m’arrive d’écouter un podcast, quand on m’envoie…

  • Github, why u no show more media files?

    Maybe you’ve noticed, it’s impossible to search for media files on Github. Searching Github is for code only. You might find references to media files in code, but no more. This is pretty annoying although understandable for two reasons: Github targets developers and, as such, focuses on tools that are relevant to them. The open…

  • Send us a picture of your laptop with stickers

    For a research project with Dorothy Howard, we ask you to send us a picture of your laptop cover with stickers. There could be one or many stickers, just as long as you agree to license the picture under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (or equivalent, or Public Domain is fine too). Write your name (how…

  • Teasing : the most popular media file formats on Github

    In my process of studying collaborative tools for designers, I took a deeper look at Github to find out how much media files were hosted there, of which type, etc. I’m just using the API provided by Github. No magic trick here. Although it’s a long process due to the API call limitations. There is…

  • Collaborative tools for designers − part 6 : the Githosters

    Part 6 of this series of posts around my quest for tools that would encourage or facilitate collaboration with and between designers, this time, I went over what I’m calling the Githosters, also known as Github, Gitlab or Bitbucket. Github is so popular these days it might become a verb one day and for some,…

  • Rendering WordWars on radiators

    TL;DR: Testing the private beta Python API from Qarnot About a month ago, while keeping an eye on the Libre Software Meeting (RMLL) in Beauvais and watching the news about WordWars spread on some blogs and magazine, I stumbled on a video presentation about open source software tools for animators and Blender 3D rendering using…

  • Ma collection de portables timbrés

    Dans tous les brols que je peux alimenter sur le web, il y a entre autre, ce compte Instagram, démarré à Leipzig il y a un peu plus d’un an. J’y collectionne, au gré de mes balades, des couvertures de portables couverts d’autocollants, une pratique assez répandues chez les bidouilleurs informatiques. On a déjà comparé…

  • Collaborative tools for designers − part 5 : Adobe Creative Cloud

    Episode 5 already. Damn, so many collaborative tools for designers. Yes. And this post is about the one everybody talks about, but what they are actually referring to is something else: Adobe Creative Cloud. Let me rephrase that. When you tell people you are trying out Adobe’s cloud, they think you are using Photoshop or…

  • Collaborative tools for designers: part 4

    TL;DR: Tools I will not review and why. Three weeks ago, I started a series of publications regarding tools that encourage collaborative practices for designers and that use some form of versioning at their core. You can read the previous chapters and especially the first one to understand what I’m looking for (links to part…

  • Collaborative tools for designers – Part 3 : Pixelapse

    Reviewing tools for collaborative practices and version control for designers, this is episode III. And to my surprise, I’ve discovered Pixelapse, an online tool that promises to do just that. It’s been a while since I had found about Pixelapse, but never took the chance to study it deeper until last week. Mainly because they…

  • Collaborative tools for designers – Part 2 : Dropbox

    Last week, I promised I would be exploring some of the tools promoted as helping designers in their revision control and collaborative process and that I would do this by comparing them to a list of benefits I extracted from my use of Git. So in this post, I’ll be reviewing the (in-?) famous Dropbox.…
