Up. Cigarette and coffee (champion's breakfast). Work 2 hours. Get dressed, eat some french cake, cigarette and then brush teeth.
But it changes if I must go out early, I could kill someone with a simple kiss otherwise =)

I use DreamHost for a while for around ten websites (from simple sites to relatively big web apps).

I have tried before (since 2001) some french hosting, asmallorange, textdrive then joyent.

I really like them for:

- reliability (around two downtimes of two hours a year)
- quick et good support in one or two hours
- gigantic bunch of features, even rare ones (webdav, jabber, subversion, media streaming, cron jobs...)
- recent coding languages versions (php, mysql, ruby/rails...)
- virtually no space or bandwitch limit (for "reasonable" hosting)
- they listen and talk to their customers, they are permanently evolving and they can be both profesional and relaxed, even funky sometimes

The cons for me are:

- email servers are a bit slow
- my french websites are a bit slow (ping) because France is far from them ;)

I definitely recommend them.

Maybe all the books of Heidegger and those of Fichte: damn German Idealim!

Thanx :)

Yeah, I think we often pay too much attention to the "theme" categories (whereas we generally follow more a person in a blog than a strictly precise theme) and not enough to the structural form of the website. It really can obstruct the inspiration like you said it.

But damn, it's very hard to change our idea of the traditional blog system wich is so omnipresent today (and I often regret the freedom, the personality and the creativity of "ancient personal websites"...).

This is what motivates me in my projects!

In fact, the layout reminds me this maniacal rage version and the background this version.

But I like that, even the background is fine for me. For a better readability, maybe you could make a bit higher the opacity under the text and/or put some text-shadow in your CSS for the people with modern CSS specs supported by their browsers.

‘.entry p, .entry h2 {‘
‘ text-shadow: #333333 2px 2px 2px;‘
‘}‘

Maybe a larger line height for the paragraphs could improve the readability too:

‘line-height: 160%;‘

And a bit more space between to entries too.

Hope it will help ;)

Good job even if it reminds me a bit too much the beautiful theming work of Garret Murray (Manacial Rage).

Hey hthth, thanx for the welcome! Yes I'm new to the 9rules community, even if I follow Scrivs since his early Whitespace =)
I don't know if it requires a presentation in Notes as I'm a little bit shy (and a damn french with poor english) and don't know well the rules of this excellent community...

Nevermind. About my categorization, I look for a better/perfect way to publish on personal websites for years and in fact, I try to create websites as a reflection of mind on the web. After spending too much time in developing "social" web apps, I finally finished the first release of a tool to help people in managing their mind on the web and sharing / publishing contents.

So I sliced the traditional unique publishing system of blogs in 3 parts:
- Bookmarks / Favorites: ok it's pretty clear here, by category
- "Shredlog": quick notes, pictures, links, videos, like a tumblelog (or like a Pensive in Harry Potter ;) )
- Publications: real pages (articles, creations...) by project (wich you can attach some "shreds" to)
(I have added too some tools to communicate, manage friends, tasks etc.)

The publishing system allows to separate our best work (to keep it permanently by project) from the rest of the contents that usually tends to pass away in time. It's like a cure for the blog system wich kill your best thoughts, as an omnidirectional, uniform and expiring flow.

I hope it's a bit clearer. You can leave me a message if you want more informations on this and keep your Note close to the original subject ;)

I think different feeds can be interesting if the website is very large, with a big diversity in the categories or if more than five posts per day are published.

I don't think it's useful in your case, as Think Artificial does not risk to "spam" the feed readers with too much contents.

Or you may consider slicing your publications in two or three categories like "Articles", "Bookmarks" and "Notes", as I do on my websites... it could be more clear and so you could make the appropriate feeds...

I really do not. I just (re)lauch all this month (my websites, my business...) and damn, I really dislike Xmas!

After a big year of web design and development, it's time to do a bit of business (I'm weak in this field) and maybe find some partner to help me.

A pretty hard december in fact.

I use Skitch too, a nice tool but a bit young (it needs some improvements)...
