Structured CV Editing my CV is my bane, but I am recovering. Whenever I would work on the content of my CV, I would inevitably switch to the format of the CV. The inverse was often true as well. I also have challenges with Microsoft work, sometimes preferring water-color and ink. Another theory could be that I was a bit afraid to venture to the job market. Whatever the reason, it has taken me 1…

New Mann.fr Almost Ready on Gatsby Technological Stack Oh, my, I've been working on this for too long a time, but, boy, oh boy, I am getting to something that is really satisfying! This website is pretty, it is modular, it is lighting fast, and it tells a story with my photography. There is a lot in it, and Gatsby (Gat what? I'll tell you, maybe) brings significant advantages to the table. So…

I installed a Gollum server with an improved OmniGollum plugin with a design for acces to web folders as an extranet for clients. Here is the code I contributed to OmniGollum Here is the guide I followed I documented the whole thing here Update, I just pointed the content of gatsby.mann.fr to the gollum.mann.fr . That means that I can edit through the web a staging version of my new website…

ghost-to-md Ghost-to-md is an opensource program to which I have made significant contributions. I assume my contributions are on https://www.github.com/chris2fr/ghost-to-md . This was part of my effort to transition from Ghost to Gatsby.

Ghost.io tech for ghost.mann.fr I have installed Ghost.io servers for my own use. They work pretty well and provide a valuable service. https://alpha.mann.fr/en/https://gatsby.mann.fr/ I first went with a trial period on ghost.io and then installed my own server on 1.contabo.mann.fr. The translation infrastructure didn't enchant me, so I went with . Themes Here are some themes I like: Fizzy…

Keyboard Layouts I have experimented with my own personalized keyboard layouts in DVORAK modified for French accents and COLMAK, as well as simply French, but optimized for programming, and QWERTY (US) optimized for French. I just didn't feel confident changing keyboard layouts when changing languages, but that would have been so much easier. The tool I ended up using is "Keyboard Layout Creator…

I've used MKDocs for a few projects. It is a good way to publish and maintain static content with a Git repository. In addition, in my configuration, I allowed myself to set up a continuous integration on GitHub. A whole part of my OneDrive folder is also in a Git (apart from OneDrive, because below) which only publishes the images and markdown content to pi.mann.fr. I also set up ConfigMagic.com…

Files disappear! The solution? The Cloud. Cloud services save all your files in real-time ! And your computer and your cloud are always synchronised ! . Never again will your files be lost. Cloud services are not free. But hey can be cheaper : we at Mann.fr propose that we buy these services by groups of three or four users. For example, Office 365 costs 80 euros per year for one person or 10…

The computer drive has three components: collect process distribute In the collect phase, we can offer three options: donors drop off their PCs and we erase them we can pick up the PCs from the donors and process the erasing in front of them we can give USB keys with which the donors can erase their own computers Of course, we would accept tablets and phones as well, each would have their own…

The goal of configuration management is to master IT configurations with tools, repositories, and practices. #TODO Find CMAP describing Configuration Management and export it here. The website ConfigMagic.COM and its corresponding git server were intended for this service. There is also a CMAP Tools site on using CMAP Tools for configuration management.

The main question here is to establish different needs: The portfolio should be beautiful and promote the photos / videos in aesthetically pleasing ways The photographer should have some mastery of the portfolio contents and organization There should be a…

Diazo is a proxy server able to re-theme any existing website, local or distant. You may find more info on diazo.org. As far as I understand it, outside of Plone, the deployment is always a challenge. The idea is that you take a theme that is an XSL file (the XLS file is generated by Diazo) and HTML output of a web application to have a new web application. Nginx is a light-weight webserver…

Dear reader, This blog post is much more detailed in French. I will just tell the general story here. I was minding my own business when Lei asked me if I knew anyone who could use a custom iOS or Android application. Nope. Hmph, perhaps we could revive Managence and look for business with that!  Below is a concept map with the general idea. So, the obvious place to start was a website. Of…

This post will describe how I set up and use my personal Git repository server.  Git is a time machine, and useful for tracking changes in source code, but also office documents. Git also provides a way of synchronizing remote files.  I have been using a personal version management software ever since I read a Lifehacker article about it. Git has some overhead.  This post is intended to describe…

Today, I am going to write about my project to get SeeShoot.com off the ground. It is a bilingual website to promote myself for photo gigs, and to promote those around me.  In general, I want it to be a useful site. I had started using a free website and free-software product called “heritage.io”. I found that to be both in line with my philosophy, my technical approach, and my needs. I had also…
