For those who still think I was attending class in university circa 1994, I have to make a confession. Check the Historical List of BBSes in the 819 Area Code!

Comme il ne semblait rien se passer aujourd’hui, j’ai cru bon attirer l’attention sur le carnet de Michel Dumais, journaliste au Devoir et collègue au C.A. de FACIL, qui a changé son outil de carnet de Drupal à Wordpress. Curieux!

C’est la rentrée pour tout le monde - y compris Mozilla - et comme à chaque année, c’est une période très intense, pas seulement à l’école . La fondation Mozilla lançait aujourd’hui de nouvelles versions de Thunderbird, Firefox et de la suite Mozilla. Impressions à chaud. (more…)

Dans le cadre de la Semaine Québécoise de l’informatique libre plusieurs événements auront lieu à travers le Québec.
J’animerais une formation et un atelier couvrant divers aspects de la sécurité informatique et Mozilla, ouverts au public. (more…)

(via Digital Copyright Canada) - Well, I don’t want any jealous people out there but it seems Canada now has its very own version of the Creative Commons (cc-ca) licences ! (more…)

I found this interesting and detailed document while searching for good ways to explain why sending Word attachments is not good practice, in my opinion. It’s strange how my adaptation of its titles can give you a good idea of the arguments! (more…)

Apparement les utilisateurs de WinZip doivent se procurer un correctif pour une faille de sécurité importante. On a oublié de mentionner l’alternative libre, 7-zip.

This will probably break a few things out there, but I am changing the category name for Free/Libre Open Source Software to simply “Libre” which means Free in both french and spanish. I’m doing this because I find myself wanting to write a lot more about other “libre” stuff like open standards and formats, copyright and intellectual property, and of course open house parties FLOSS doesn’t seem to be a very friendly acronym either.

A new preview release of version 1.0 of the Mozilla Firefox browser is just about to be out next week. Here’s some information about security improvements and fixes that will be included. (via Burning Edge) (more…)

Sans tapis rouge ni communiqué de presse (pour l’instant), je procède au pré-lancement de Diffusion Libre, un projet que j’ai initié parmi les nombreux en cours à FACIL. 800 invitations, déjà un premier communiqué, fil RSS, je crois que tout y est. Euh… non, il manque le plus important… (more…)

The Open List se define como una lista de web logs y una comunidad. Se les olvidó la palabra “colombianos” Caerá también en la definición de “Colombia Planet” ? (more…)

Although I don’t use these Windows versions anymore, I thought it was interesting that TrueCrypt is available for XP, 2000 and 2003. It’s based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, which I used for a good while. I previously mentioned options for Windows and Linux users. Thanks to RYM for this update (more…)

My father-in-law had been complaining about the popups and endless advertising spam he was getting on his Windows 98 + IE install so I swtiched him to FF about 6 weeks ago. (more…)

[via Sunbird’s FAQ] Outport aims to be a generic program for exporting data from Outlook (Outlook + export = Outport).

Of course there is a catch and these guys are in for the money. But as a SIPPhone.com customer, I can’t see how this offer is not fair. Get free calls for you and your network pals, collect a server first. (more…)

From their FAQ, “Mozilla Calendar is the calendar extension for Mozilla products such as Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird. Sunbird is the standalone form of the same application.” (more…)
