Liking comments is just spitting in the wind
I’ve been struggling with the [loveMachine] during the past weeks. First, the main disk on my home server, from where the script is running, crashed beautifully. Second, Facebook has somewhat changed the rules lately about how much likes I can do in a certain period of time (will write more on that later). During one…

A facebook warning animation
Everytime the [loveMachine] runs over my profile, it takes a screenshot of the page when it’s done. At first, it was a way for me to see if it was really doing its job and to catch the Facebook warning messages that might have appeared during the process. But since a couple months now, I’ve…

15 sunsets and sunrises per day
What is weighting 400 tons, measures 100m wide and flies at 27,000 km/hour just 400 km above our head?

I’m not sure I would…

The number 1 fan of my cover Tuesdays rang my bell yesterday night, complaining that I didn’t publish anything this Tuesday, and the Tuesday before that and that I wasn’t really consistent anymore. And it’s true. I have a responsibility before you. I started this a year ago. And I never thought I’d run dry.…

Slides of the presentation @RecyclartBXL
Presentation of the [loveMachine] is in a couple hours at Recyclart and I thought it would be great to use the Facebook itself as presentation tool. So the obvious choice was to create a set of pictures and upload them as an album. Once the first picture of the album is shown, I could even…

100 views of summertime
Is George Gershwin’s “Summertime” the Mount Fuji of music covers? Looking for a cover I heard on the radio this morning, I stumbled on this blog that lists a hundred versions of the song. Apart from Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Mahalia Jackson or Ray Charles, I didn’t expect to find the Doors, R.E.M. or Morcheeba…

Finally Facebook implements the “dislike”… but it’s complicated
Since all my likes are handled by the [loveMachine], I found myself looking for other things to do on Facebook. That’s when I stumbled on the (hidden) “dislike” function. Since it’s a long awaited feature, I must warn you that it’s not as easy as the “like”. It requires at least 3 clicks, works only…
