<p><a href="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Project-Runway-8.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1253" title="Project Runway 8" src="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Project-Runway-8-250x300.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="300" /></a>This season of Project Runway is a total freakshow. The previous season used to make me hate my computer screen because I simply couldn&#8217;t handle the snooze fest. All the contestants were the same, Tim was getting tired of being Tim and I stopped paying attention. We pretty much gave up on the show simply because reality/artcraft type TV shows are not our thing anyway. This season I had to beg my husband to download it. Having seen a few comments on the season 8 contestants, I knew this was going to be gold and it is.<br />
There a creepy creepy man/boy. He has the head of your neighborhood pervert on the body of an eight year old pedophile&#8217;s wetdream. Add a white bowtie, orange glasses and some leather and studs and you&#8217;re right on track. Then we move on to the sped up version of a Chinese sweatshop worker, half energizer bunny, half Mulan. There&#8217;s also the confused youngster and his many many personnalities and by that I mean &#8220;love boat attendant&#8221;, gold lame hipster and typical nerd. Which brings us to the manly man with a voice courtesy of Donald Duck and the Italian crybaby. Last but not least we have the Puerto Rican drama queen that fails to understand English&#8230;when the English doesn&#8217;t suit him and the season&#8217;s resident bitch&#8230;that&#8217;s even bitchier than the previous ones.</p>
<p>It all makes for great TV. Trust me on this one. I&#8217;m not really into fashion, I&#8217;m not really into TV shows, but I laugh my ass off watching this season.</p></span><span lang="fr" class="language"><p><a href="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Project-Runway-8.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1253" title="Project Runway 8" src="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Project-Runway-8-250x300.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="300" /></a>La nouvelle saison de Project Runway ressemble à la cour des miracles. La saison précédente m&#8217;avait fait détester mon écran car je ne pouvais pas supporter un show aussi soporifique. Tous les participants se ressemblaient, Tim en avait marre d&#8217;être Tim et moi, j&#8217;en avais marre de prêter attention à tout ce cirque. Nous avons donc laissé tomber ce show car n&#8217;étant pas très enclins à la télé réalité et à la mode&#8230;ce n&#8217;était pas notre devoir d&#8217;être fidèles à une bouse pareille.</p>
<p>Ayant vu la tête des nouveaux participants de cette saison, je tenais là une mine d&#8217;or et je me suis attelée à convaincre ma moitié de la télécharger. Il y a une créature avec la tête du vieux pervers du coin sur le corps d&#8217;une gamin de huit ans. Ajouter un noeud papillon, des lunettes oranges, quelques accessoires avec des pics et du cuir et vous arrivez à une approximation du personnage. Ensuite il y a la version accélérée de la travailleuse type des ateliers chinois, mi-energizer bunny, mi-Mulan. S&#8217;y ajoute un jeune homme bien confus et rempli de personnalités: un stewart pour la croisière s&#8217;amuse, un hipster en doré et un gros nerd, tout en un (avec la garde robe pour chaque). Puis on passe au mec viril avec les cordes vocales estampillées Donald Duck et l&#8217;italien qui fait le saule pleureur. Et pour finir nous avons la folle de Puerto Rico qui ne comprend pas l&#8217;anglais&#8230;enfin quand ce qu&#8217;on lui dit en anglais ne lui convient pas; et clou du spectale, nous avons la connasse de service, qui bat tous les records précédent dans le genre.</p>
<p>Epic win. Sérieusement. Je n&#8217;aime pas vraiment la mode, ni la télévision d&#8217;ailleurs, mais je me marre bien comme il faut cette saison.</p></span>

I don&#8217;t like mediocrity. I hate mediocrity when it gets a nice shiny coat of good intentions; good intentions obviously misplaced. You are mediocre. No detour to take, no artifices to place, nothing, juste an ocean smack dab in the middle of pathetic and void.</p>
<p>Now, when I make an effort to satisfy the cordial entente and not place my handsome palm in your face, I&#8217;m the one who becomes vacuous. Fool me once, shame on you. No fooling me twice. I was so vacuous that you put me on the same level as you. My mother&#8217;s one reproach was that I bore into people I deemed uselles. A blue tinted occular machine gun. She was right until I tried to be decorous about it. Now I know I am neither destined for a life of humility nor one with an overdose of modesty.</p>
<p>I made a banker cry. I made a young lawyer cry. I made my neighbor&#8217;s dog and a naked boy cry.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s your turn.</p></span><span lang="fr" class="language">
<p><a href="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/mediocre.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="mediocre" src="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/mediocre-244x300.jpg" alt="" width="228" height="281" /></a>Y&#8217;a des gens, pas moyen de les supporter. Je n&#8217;aime pas la médiocrité. Je déteste la médiocrité lorsqu&#8217;elle s&#8217;ajoute à de la bonne volonté, bonne volonté manifestement mal placée. Tu es médiocre. Pas de détour, pas de faux semblants, rien, juste un océan à mi-chemin entre navrant et nul.</p>
<p>Maintenant, lorsque je fais un effort pour satisfaire l&#8217;entente cordiale et ne pas t&#8217;en foutre une dans la gueule, c&#8217;est moi qui devient niaise. Je l&#8217;ai fait une fois, pas deux. J&#8217;ai été tellement niaise que tu m&#8217;as mise au même niveau. Ma mère m&#8217;a toujours reproché de lancer des regards foudroyants aux individus que je jugeais comme inutiles. Elle avait raison jusqu&#8217;à ce que je tente d&#8217;être potable. Maintenant je sais que je ne suis pas faite pour l&#8217;humilité ni la modestie.</p>
<p>J&#8217;ai fait pleurer un banquier, un jeune avocat, le chien de mon voisin et un garçon tout nu.</p>
<p>Maintenant c&#8217;est à ton tour.</p></span>

<p>It&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve written anything that didn&#8217;t have to include a large ostentatious image gallery. I miss writing for the sake of writing. The sake of writing being my taken over by my inherent need to bitch about anything and everything that crosses my path. I&#8217;ve never been a Meh person. Either I hate or I adore. I can be exasperated or gaga over something. But not in the middle.</p>
<p><em>In a totally unrelated statement</em>: Fuck you Lady Gaga. Give back the lady to the antiquated cunts over in Britain and let me keep gaga. I like to be gaga over something. But now, gaga just means some overly excentric (there is such a thing trust me) piece of flesh dressed in delirious clothing. All in all that description could be applied to me &#8211; hello, I actually once thought neon pink eyeshadow was a viable choice because it went great with my &#8211; hold it&#8230;hold it &#8211; neon pink bondage pants.</p>
<p>So here I am on a Friday night, thankful that I am done with the work week. I&#8217;m not going out. I&#8217;m doing a mini staycation in my empty apartment. I am trying to do a small rendition of the 100 things people. Whittling down my possessions to make this lodging seem a little more minimalist. As minimalist as it can be with two merry go round horses and goady Hungarian alcohol bottles. Strangely, it seems like my husband&#8217;s books are disappearing a hell of a lot more than mine. Strangely my clothing is disappearing a hell of a lot more than his. Yes, he buys things like dictionnaries and I buy things like ten black tops. Superficiality, welcome to my closet. Practicality, get out of our personnal library (and my shoe rack).</p></span><span lang="fr" class="language">
<p>Cela va faire quelques temps depuis mon dernier article ne nécessitant pas l&#8217;ajout d&#8217;une galerie d&#8217;images ostentatoire. Ecrire pour écrire me manque. Enfin écrire pour écrire étant une action victime d&#8217;un détournement de ma personnalité qui requiert un grognement désapprobateur envers bon nombre de choses sur mon chemin. Je n&#8217;ai jamais été du genre à faire &#8220;Meh&#8221;. Ou j&#8217;abhorre ou j&#8217;adore. Je peux être exaspérée ou bien complètement gaga de quelque chose. Jamais au milieu.</p>
<p>D&#8217;ailleurs une petite déclaration sans aucun rapport avec ma diatribe: Fuck you Lady Gaga. Je t&#8217;ordonne de me restituer le mot &#8220;gaga&#8221;&#8230;et au passage de rendre Lady aux vieilles peaux désuètes de Grande Bretagne. J&#8217;aime bien l&#8217;expression &#8220;être gaga&#8221;. Mais là, gaga ne fait référence qu&#8217;à un tas de chair excessivement excentrique (oui, l&#8217;excès d&#8217;excentricité existe) tarabiscoté d&#8217;habits délirants. Tout cela peut aussi bien être pris pour une description de ma petite personne &#8211; bonjour, il fut un temps où j&#8217;estimais que le port d&#8217;une ombre à paupière rose fluo était un choix viable car cela s&#8217;accordait parfaitement avec &#8211; attendez&#8230;attendez&#8230;mon pantalon style bondage rose fluo et ses chaînes.</p>
<p>Me voici donc un vendredi soir, heureuse d&#8217;avoir fini la semaine. Je ne sors pas. Je me prend de micro-vacances dans mon appartement vide. Je tente d&#8217;effectuer mon interprétation des gars aux 100 choses. Je réduis mes possessions pour faire comme si cela allait conférer un air de minimalisme à mon appartement. Enfin minimalisme, c&#8217;est un point de vue, surtout avec deux chevaux de manèges et des bouteilles d&#8217;alcool kitschos de Hongrie. Etrangement, ceux sont les livres de mon mari qui disparaissent plus les miens. Et dans la même lignée de fabuleuses coïncidences, mes habits disparaissent beaucoup plus que les siens. Oui, il achète des dictionnaires pendant que moi j&#8217;achète des choses du genre dix hauts noirs d&#8217;affilée. Superficialité, bienvenue dans mon armoire. Fonctionnalité, tiens-toi loin de notre bibliothèque et de ma collection de chaussures.</p></span>

Comme je l&#8217;ai dit précedemment, j&#8217;écoute le podcast sur l&#8217;histoire de Rome. Ce n&#8217;est pas tant que je suis une grande admiratrice de la Rome antique, mais  un millenium d&#8217;actions, de <a href="http://siliconelife.net/2010/04/25/hannibal-barca/">conquêtes</a> et de <a href="http://siliconelife.net/2010/03/01/roman-emperor-of-the-day-pt1-empereur-romain-du-jour-1/">meurtres politiques</a>, c&#8217;est toujours croustillant. Quand j&#8217;ai entendu parlé de la Forma Urbis, j&#8217;ai tout de suite tenté de rédiger un petit article pour le boulot.<br />
Cette énorme carte, faite de marbre, était placée sur un mur du Templum Pacis dans le forum de la Paix en 210. La carte était extrêmement détaillée, avec les immeubles, monuments et cages d&#8217;escalier de la capitale telle qu&#8217;elle était au second siècle. Malheureusement, la Forma Urbis a fini en poussière pour faire du ciment. 10 à 15% de la carte nous reste, sous forme de petits fragements. Durant la Renaissance, 250 fragments ont été mis en place pour reconstituer Maximus Circus et le Colisée. De nos jour, Standford University  a repris le flambeau avec un peu d&#8217;aide technologique. Il reste un peu d&#8217;espoir car les travaux pour la nouvelle ligne de métro de Rome permettent de faire des fouilles. Les scientifiques espèrent trouver d&#8217;autres fragments. During the Renaissance 250 pieces were placed together to reconstitute the Maximus Circus and the Coliseum. Pour voir les travaux de Standford, c&#8217;est par <a href="http://formaurbis.stanford.edu/">ici</a>.</p></span><span lang="en" class="language">
<p><a href="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/forma29.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="forma urbis" src="http://siliconelife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/forma29-300x201.jpg" alt="forma urbis" width="300" height="201" /></a>This piece of information made me very happy. As I have previously stated, I listen to the<a href="http://siliconelife.net/2010/03/01/roman-emperor-of-the-day-pt1-empereur-romain-du-jour-1/">History of Rome</a> podcast. It&#8217;s not that I am absolutely crazy about Antique Rome, but it&#8217;s a thousand years of <a href="http://siliconelife.net/2010/04/25/hannibal-barca/">exciting</a> stuff to hear about.<br />
When I read about the Forma Urbis, I was so happy I wrote a small article for work. This big map, made of marble, was placed on a wall of the Templum Pacis in the Forum of Peace in 210 A.D. The map was incredibly detailed, with buildings, monuments and staircases of Rome as it was in the second century. It got turned into concrete materials later on and so, most of it was lost. 10 to 15% remain in tiny slivers. During the Renaissance 250 pieces were placed together to reconstitute the Maximus Circus and the Coliseum. Nowadays, Standford University is trying to figure it out with the help of technology. Incidentally, drilling for the metro line in Rome is underway, allowing for archeological work and maintaining the hopes of finding more missing pieces. For Standford&#8217;s project, it&#8217;s over <a href="http://formaurbis.stanford.edu/">here</a>.</p></span>

<p>A week ago I was treated to a beautiful Sunday, a rare occurance here. So I decided to avoid lazing around in my pyjamas and go on an exploration of the city. Minimal heels donned on, a little scarf and here I am walking with determination toward the great big &#8220;Jardin des plantes&#8221; (in English: garden of the plants, not really fancy once it&#8217;s ridden of the French mystery huh?)</p>
<p>In the North part of this dignified public park stands the gallery of evolution. A giant building that became part of the Museum of natural history in 1889, the gallery faces the Parisian Mosque. Up until 1994, this building was considered as a zoological gallery. Now it is dedicated to evolution. A large amount of stuffed animals bravely put up a front to the hordes of children passing through on a regular basis.</p>
<p>The grand new attraction is the giant naturalized squid. Trust me, it&#8217;s not so giant. But it is a pretty cool squid. Amongst the three floors of animalistic wonders lay a small room, off to the side on the second floor. Not very many visitors pay attention to it, busy running after snot nosed evolutive disasters who spotted the cafeteria nearby. We see a Dodo statue before heading off to massive double doors and entering a place where faint daylight filters through. Though the haze we begin to say animals that are very unfamiliar. Most of them have disappeared or are in the process of disappearing from Earth. Some became extinct as far as the XVth century, others like the Tasmanian devil are still surviving, but barely.</p>
<p>That room is one of the few sanctuaries in this whole building: safe from marauding children and from cameras as it is too dark to take a decent shot of anything behind the glass cases.<br />

<p><img class="size-full wp-image-483    alignleft" title="photo" src="http://siliconelife.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/photo.jpg" alt="" width="346" height="461" /></p>
<p>Il y a quelques temps, j&#8217;ai eu droit à un beau dimanche, chose rare à Paris. J&#8217;ai donc décidé de ne pas glander en pyjamas. Une exploration de la ville semblait être la meilleure alternative. Petits talons, petit foulard et me voici en route, pleine de détermination, vers le Jardin des plantes.</p>
<p>Au nord de ce parc public à mi jardin à l&#8217;anglaise, mi jardin à la française, on peut trouver la galerie de l&#8217;évolution. Une construction massive qui fut intégrée au musée d&#8217;histoire naturelle en 1889. Cette galerie fait face à la Grande Mosquée de Paris. Jusqu&#8217;à 1994, l&#8217;endroit était estampillé &#8220;galerie zoologique&#8221;. De nos jours, tout l&#8217;espace est dédié à l&#8217;évolution. Un large armada d&#8217;animaux empallés tiennent tête aux hordes d&#8217;enfants passant par là tous les jours. Une horde qui les prend pour des animaux en peluche &#8211; chose que les plus petits animaux ne semblent pas vraiment apprécier. J&#8217;ai pu ainsi voir un porc-épic sans pics sur le flan gauche.</p>
<p>La nouvelle attraction est le grand calamar naturalisé. Croyez-moi, il n&#8217;est pas si grand que ça. Mais malgré ce manque de gigantisme poignant, il est très intéressant.</p>
<p>Parmis les trois étages de merveilles animales, il y a une petite pièce dissimulée dans un corridor au second. Peu sont les visiteurs qui s&#8217;y aventurent, bien trop occupés à courir après leurs petits désastres évolutifs qui se précipitent vers la pseudo cafétaria. On voit une statue de Dodo avant de s&#8217;élancer vers les double portes massives. La lumière se fait discrète au profit d&#8217;un flou presque photographique. Tous les animaux sont étranges car aux antipodes de notre répertoire animalier. La plupart d&#8217;netre eux ont disparus ou sont entrain de s&#8217;effacer de notre planète en ce moment même.  Certains specimens datent du XVème siècle (siècle de leur extinction officielle) et d&#8217;autres, comme le Diable de Tasmanie tiennent à un fil.</p>
<p>Cette pièce est l&#8217;un des sanctuaires de la galerie, à l&#8217;abri des crapahuteurs et des flash offensifs car il n&#8217;est pas envisageable de photographier correctement ces reliques.</p>

<br />
Encyclopedia Dramatica has an entire article dedicated to the <a href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Raptor_Jesus">raptor Jesus</a>.<br />
Raptor Jesus is an internet meme. Basically it&#8217;s just a raptor&#8217;s head photoshopped on many religious images. We can thank 4chan for this. This is some flying spaghetti monster kind of deal. Raptor Jesus is the only true savior. We are all waiting for The Velocirapture.</p>
<p>I have to admit that this whole religious raptor thing made me like Jessus a lot more.</p></span><span lang="fr" class="language"><p>J&#8217;ai adressé la perte de mon article fabuleux sur les dinosaures. Je vais tenter de recréer la magie du premier jet. J&#8217;ai décidé de diviser mon exploration des dinosaures sur le net en un triptyque. Première partie: le raptor Jésus. Seconde partie: les tricératops nous ont menti. Troisème partie: les gadgets et autres bizarreries.<br />

<br />
Encyclopedia Dramatica dédie un article entier au <a href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Raptor_Jesus">raptor Jésus</a>.<br />
Raptor Jésus est un internet meme. Toute la démarche peut être définie en quelques mots: le photoshoppage actif et incensé d&#8217;une tête de dinosaure sur le corps de nombreuses images religieuses. Merci 4chan. C&#8217;est un peu comme le pastafarisme, en moins complexe. Raptor Jésus est le seul et unique sauveur de l&#8217;humanité. Nous attendons tous l&#8217;heure de la Vélocirapture.<br />
Je dois admettre que depuis que je connais cette histoire de raptor religieux, j&#8217;aime Jésus un peu plus.</p></span>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span lang="en" class="language"><p>I’d like to make a point. Usually to make a point, I either consult with an encyclopedia or a dictionary. But this time, I think Google will be the most appropriate partner. For some reason this reaction is getting more and more common.</p>
<p>A friend of mine, as previously stated in this blog, absolutely loves unicorns. It goes along the lines of mystical logic that even *I, Silicone Life* cannot follow. I mean, unicorns on your iphone cover?! A facebook group destined to people who complain about the daily difficulties of having a unicorn as a pet?</p>
<p>You see how far we can peer into the abyss. But I’d like to take a special Google detour and show that unicorns are never a good idea on you. As a rule of thumb, mythical creatures never look good as tattoos, except satyrs and nagas because those are creepy fuckers to begin with. You’d think it’s not that hard to achieve a unicorn: horn, white horse, sparkles. Let’s see how wrong we can be.</p>
<p>Here are the first page results for “unicorn tattoos”, bow down to a gallery of horrors:</p>

<p>Let’s keep it short and sweet.</p>
<ol>
<li>This doesn’t count as it’s a <em>My little pony </em> but still, it’s a freaking cartoon with Wolverine riding it…I don’t think my body could handle the amount of dope I would have to take in order to find this a viable tattoo option</li>
<li>A pedophile, baby crushing, rainbow loving unicorn…I can’t say much more on the subject, now can I?</li>
<li>This one is a little hard to interpret. It’s a rainbow pissing unicorn. That particular rainbow leads to a pot of gold which obviously makes the unicorn number #1, so it rests on its laurels and eats a flower. Did I get it right?</li>
<li>Apparently this one is pissing rainbows as well. Are unicorns associated with rainbows somehow?</li>
<li><strong>The best one. It’s on a buttcheek. With a nazi arm band, rainbows AND a white power sign. WTF?</strong></li>
<li>Rainbows again *sigh* fucking a dolphin, now that’s a novel way to approach “digusting”.</li>
<li>Fucking each other…with rainbows.</li>
<li>This one is pretty awesome, it’s a little zombie in the eyes, it has a goatee and flowers.</li>
<li>Dedication unicorn.</li>
<li>We’ll call this one Lil Wayne. Bling bling.</li>
<li>Ok, that one is a cute one. I threw it in there so that my friend won’t despair.</li>
<li>On a boob, with a cartoon character. This stupidity needs to be put to an end. Really.</li>
</ol></span><span lang="fr" class="language"><p>J’aimerai démontrer quelque chose. D’habitude lorsque je m’y prend pour faire ce genre de choses, j’ai un dictionnaire ou une encyclopédie à l’appui. Mais cette fois-ci, je pense que Google Images est un choix plus judicieux.</p>
<p>Une de mes amies adore les licornes, cela a été dit précedemment. Cela a engendré la mise en place d’un autocollant sur le pare brise de son iPhone, un attroupement facebook et des discussions désordonnées sur des créatures qui finalement n’existent tout de même pas.</p>
<p>Une <strong>licorne</strong>, de base, ça doit être inratable: corne, cheval blanc, paillettes blanches et basta. Mais il y a une règle générale qui s’applique à toutes les créatures de mythes: un tattouage ça rend toujours merdique. Bon, peut être pas pour les satyrs et les nagas parce qu’ils sont flippants de base. Mais pour le reste, c’est toujours une mauvaise idée.</p>
<p>Première page de recherche Google pour “unicorn tattoos” (en anglais mais bon une <strong>licorne</strong> est une <strong>licorne</strong>):</p>
<p>On aller droit au but:</p>

<li>Mon petit poney avec Wolverine dessus. Pas tout à fait dans le thème mais, bordel c’est quoi cette idée?</li>
<li>Une <strong>licorne</strong> pleine d’arcs en ciel, tuant des bébés. Ok, pédophile et meurtrière. Le tattouage bien sous tous rapports.</li>
<li>Cette <strong>licorne</strong> peut se reposer sur ses lauriers tout en machouillant une fleur car elle est numéro #1 dans son domaine. Vous en connaissez d’autres qui pissent des arcs en ciel avec un chaudron d’or au bout vous???</li>
<li>Encore une <strong>licorne</strong>, des arcs en ciel, du pipi…thème récurrent il semblerait.</li>
<li><strong>La grande gagnante: tattouée sur une fesse, avec un brassard nazi, un motto de White Power et toujours ces foutus arcs en ciel!!!</strong></li>
<li>Une <strong>licorne</strong> se tapant un dauphin…pas très…enfin…je sais pas…</li>
<li>Plus accessible, deux licornes et des arcs en ciel, bien comme souvenir porno dorsal!</li>
<li>Une <strong>licorne</strong> fleurie, légèrement zombie dans le regard</li>
<li>Une <strong>licorne</strong> dédiée à quelqu’un…</li>
<li>La <strong>licorne</strong> gangsta rap…oui oui ça existe et c’est bling bling</li>
<li>Une jolie, juste pour que ma copine ne perde pas son rêve</li>
<li>Encore cette foutue combinaison cartoon sur <strong>licorne</strong>, POURQUOI?!</li>

I&#8217;d like to thank my faulty driver, my computer, mySQL database, <strong>WordPress 3.0.1.</strong> and my own carelessness.</p>
<p>Oh yes, let&#8217;s not forget 1and1, my lovely internet host. <strong>1and1</strong>, I like you, simply because you are cheap and reliable. But when it comes to WordPress, you just plain suck. I had to fight to delete my .htaccess file and then upload a new one with modified contents to trick you into letting my CMS work just fine.</p>
<p>For those of you that did not understand a single word of what I just said&#8230;just you wait. Having a blog is like having a kid. Everyone thinks that at some point, you&#8217;ll cave in and produce a little piece of you somewhere.</p>
<p>But let&#8217;s move on to another great piece of info you probably won&#8217;t care about! Google cache saved part of my magnificent online ass. One of my co-workers reminded me that there is always Google Cache. Basically do a search with one criteria, that the contents be from your blog URL. This way I recovered snapshots of my contents. Not all mind you, but enough for a copy-paste parade to retrieve the text parts of my posts. I went from saving 30 posts to almost recovering all of them. The most awesome post about dinosaurs was of course MIA. But fear not, I can rebuild it, better, stronger and with more RAWR than ever!</p>
<p>If you actually arrived here just for the .htcacess modification, well, here it is.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the new .htaccess file you need to create in wordpress:</p>
<blockquote><p># BEGIN WordPress</p>
<p>RewriteEngine On<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]<br />
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php<br />
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php</p>
<p># END WordPress</p></blockquote></span><span lang="fr" class="language">

<p>Je tiens à remercier les sponsors de ma faillite de blog: mon ordinateur, mon driver de carte graphique, ma base de données mySQL, <strong>WordPress 3.0.1.</strong> and ma propre néglience (ou négligenceté comme dirait ma mamie).</p>
<p>Sans oublier, 1and1, mon hébergeur internet. <strong>1and1</strong>, je t&#8217;aime bien, tout simplement parce que tu n&#8217;es pas cher et qu&#8217;on peut toujours compter sur toi. Mais dès que je pense à WordPress, tu pètes les plombs. Après une bataille hardueuse contre mon fichier .htaccess, j&#8217;ai fini par réussir à le faire crever pour le remplacer par un clone. Maintenant tout va mieux.</p>
<p>Pour ceux qui n&#8217;ont pas pu analyser le dernier paragraphe et en tirer quelque chose de censé&#8230;attendez un peu. Vous allez voir. Avoir un blog, c&#8217;est un peu comme avoir des gamins. Tout le monde pense qu&#8217;à un moment ou un autre vous allez faiblir et en faire au moins un.</p>
<p>Changeons de sujet, parce que je pense que cette histoire d&#8217;erreur 500 ne passionne pas grand monde. Google Cace a sauvé mon magnifique derrière. Un de mes collègues de boulot m&#8217;a fait tilter sur Google Cache. Pour tenter de récupérer quasimment n&#8217;importe quoi, il suffit de faire une recherche dans le moteur avec un seul critère: que les contenus émanent uniquement d&#8217;une url particulière. C&#8217;est comme cela que j&#8217;ai pu remettre la main sur un lot de mes articles perdus. Pas tous bien sûr, mais suffisamment de contenu pour organiser une petite parade de copier-coller. Mon merveilleux article sur les dinosaures est manquant, mais je vais tenter de reconstituer la merveille qu&#8217;était le véliciraptor Jésus.</p>
<p>Si vous avez atteri ici juste pour la modificition du fichier .htcaccess, elle est ici.</p>
<blockquote><p># BEGIN WordPress</p>
<p>RewriteEngine On<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]<br />
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php<br />
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php</p>
<p># END WordPress</p></blockquote></span>
