Yesterday, I committed to the Cocoon svn repository a new Tree widget for Cocoon Forms. Trees and more generally hierarchical structures are traditionally some of the most complex and painful things to implement in web applications. And ready-made implementations often don't allow much flexibility in the presentation. Cocoon Forms ...
About 3 weeks ago, my 14-year old son had his own PC, which is now installed in his room, at the first floor in our house. 14 years is also the age where kids listen to the radio all day long. And he likes hard-rock. So how do we, parents ...
A very interesting read on the possible hidden plans behind Apple's move to Intel processors: it may not be about leaving IBM for Intel, but about uniting to kick Microsoft's ass... Really, really interesting times ahead! Via Matthew .
So Apple is switching to Intel processors. A major change that would seem totally crazy in the Windows world, but that isn't that much a problem here. Why so? Well, Apple already switched from 68k to PowerPC processors 11 years ago. At that time, I had a Macintosh SE ...
Yes, I am strongly disappointed...

Some new members of the Apache Software Foundation have been elected at the recent members meeting. Among them, special congratulations to Torsten Curdt and Upayavira, old time fellow Cocooners and Vincent Massol, 5th ASF member living in France.
The training session is over. As usual, I saw people having some "technical illumination" during the training. That's very funny to see them suddenly grasping the incredible power of Cocoon and the body language expression of this revelation. Some open their eyes and mouth wide, other put their hands ...
Starting tomorrow, I'll be giving yet another Cocoon training during 3 days. This time, 10 people will be coming to Toulouse from various locations in France, all working on a large university portal infrastructure. Some of them already use Cocoon, and we're likely to work on their project ...
Daniel (when will he finally have a blog?) posts an interesting RT on cocoon-dev, after having investigated OSGi and the good things it could bring to refactor Cocoon as a set of plugins. OSGi has been running in my head for a long time as an interesting way to explore ...
An interesting article at xml.com explaining how to use XMLHttpRequest to post client-side Javascript errors to the server, where the log files reside. As AJAX brings more code to the client, it also brings more bugs there. And it therefore becomes important to catch errors and provide some fallbacks ...
