I'm only interested in the Best Project category of the SourceForge 2008 Community Choice Awards, as you can see we can find again my beloved Drupal in this list, that's good, so I voted for Drupal in several categories. You can do so too at https://sourceforge.net/community/cca08-vote

I know, I know, I'm not stupid, I know a blog isn't meant to be abandoned like that.
I let it down for reasons I'll explain later when I'll post again.
Now today I just want to speak about why I transfered my blog from WordPress to Drupal and how.
I bought the domain on october 2007 in order to install WordPress and MediaWiki and start using them in collaboration to see and show that money can be better made by using a blog and a wiki working together.
In fact I went as far as installing WordPress, then I blogged a little, I learned about plugins, and installed a few.

I had this avatar on EntreCard since over 2 months when today I received this message:
Greetings, Your avatar has been changed. We are implementing a rule against "exploitative marketing" which includes using an avatar of scantily clad females when your site has nothing to do with scantily clad females.
The recent surge in avatars of scantily clad females is devaluing our network and we are taking action against it. Thank you for understanding.

I'm happy that finally Drupal 6 is out, about a month after Joomla 1.5 has been released.
After one year of development we are ready to release Drupal 6.0 to the world. Thanks to the tireless work of the Drupal community, over 1,600 issues have been resolved during the Drupal 6.0 release cycle. These changes are evident in Drupal 6's major usability improvements, security and maintainability advancements, friendlier installer, and expanded development framework. Further, from bug fix to feature request, these issues follow-through on the Drupal project's continued commitment to deliver flexibility and power to themers and developers.
It was a rather long wait since last summer I was expecting Drupal 6 before the end of the year, but now it's done... I only have a dozen sites worth upgrading to do!

About 2 months ago I read a blog because it was somewhere on Entrecard and the blogger was saying that his blog contests don't have much success and that he's trying to do another one, the closing date was close and there was only 2 persons who applied for 16 prizes.. I said, how well, all I have to do is subscribe to his blog by email? OK.
And surely I won and have my ad on his blog for a month ;-)
After a while, I received an email asking if I would like to sponsor his next blog contest, I said ok I'll send worldwide my harmonica DVD to a winner,even if he/she doesn't like harmonica. And now his contest is live, see the information below and decide for yourself:
Contest Duration - 1/11/08 'til 1/31/08 (11:59:00PM PST)
Prizes
There are going to be 12 different groups of prizes, which means there are going to be a total of 12 different winners.

You don't understand the above sentence? Hahaha! If there are some words you don't get I'll explain briefly, but if you get all the sentence's words then you might want to try Drigg right now on a new Drupal install...

Update: my Harmonica DVD is now available on Entrecard's shop for 650 EC and still at my music site for $30.
Entrecard is opening its shop, where you can buy (with Entrecard Credits or ECs) several items such as T-Shirts, Stickers, Ads, Reviews and more from other blogs, and upgrades to your Entrecard account as well! It's a great idea to really transform ECs in a currency. They're looking for bloggers like me who are ready to sell "something", anything, in their shop. I could sell ad spots, or other digital services, but I want to sell something close to myself and that's a DVD full of videos I recorded while playing the chromatic harmonica..

You know, most of the time things happen in the english speaking part of the internet. Since I look into the french web too, I can tell you that not much originally happens there. Innovation comes from the US, UK and north of Europe countries.
Well there's probably the most successful buzz on the french web since a few days, it's because naked pictures and a video of a famous french swimmer and olympic gold medalist have been leaked, so lots of searches from everybody in France make a lot of small blogs hosted on shared servers go down. The buzz is called "Photos De Laure Manaudou Nue". Laure Manaudou has a muscular body and is often seen in swimming suit, as you can imagine it is not the most concealing outfit...

I'm reporting today on the Metabolic Surge diet and training program I've been following and the fat loss results I got. I'm definitively happy about it if you want just a quick summary, I'm happy of the results, it's boring to do because eating anything whenever I wanted was way funnier, but that's life, I now get my kick out of thinking about how lean and muscular I can get if I put my mind to it, it's just a switch of perspective, I'm not there yet but I'm confident I can do it because I know have a recipe for success...
Quick reminder: Metabolic Surge is a 46 days fat loss program, including 36 days of specific diet / training and 10 days of "rest" with a more relaxed nutrition and lighter training schedule with no cardio.
In the month of september 2007 I followed the preparation program in order to get my body up and running and then I started Metabolic Surge on 5th october. I started the Level , the "light" version of the program, so that the workout exercices were less demanding than the full program. I then finished the 36 days of diet on 9th november and after 10 days of rest with only strength building workouts (2 days on, 2 days off) I started Metabolic Surge again, but this time the full, more demanding, program.
