| 10-27-06 / 12:17 AM : iTTUSB-05 : vinyl through USB (cjed) |
 Thanks to Macgeneration we learn the avaibility of an original product, the iTTUSB-05, a semi automatic (with automatic return) turntable that provides USB... allowing to be recognized as an audio input in OSX (and MacOS9). This model is classical type, but there was yet another model, DJ type (arg...), the iTTUSB. At 179 euros that could be interesting if the audio quality is present, to listen back to classical pieces, jazz or old JMJ concert !We can find a comprehensive review through the Cobra site. But be aware that an old good turntable and a good audio card allow the same...s |

| 10-26-06 / 02:26 PM : Ecological footprint (vincent) |
| The ecofoot website calculates the number of planets Earth that we would need if everybody was consumming like we do. This is a rather fashionable topic, propably too simplified, but at least it might make more and more people aware of the problem. Even though I use only public transports, my footprint is equal to 2 planets Earth ! |

| The site just reached a total of 1000 news posted (1006 exactly with this one)... all that in less than two years (22 months). So it's time to use the included search engine, as sometimes we found on the internet news relating old informations ever posted ! Also we could compute the time spent writing the (short) news (and making selection/searchs) :).s |

| 10-07-06 / 02:29 AM : News full text search feature added (cjed) |
| The site now provides a search field for searching in news. Of full text type (fulltext index on the Mysql table) it searchs for the criterias in title and article text content (in the two languages), that are automatically indexed. The search uses the boolean method, that allows fine grained search rules (see the doc for syntax). However the decoding (URLDecode) of criterias parameters doesn't return the minus and plus signs passed in the request, so the search is for now limited to a simple multi-criteria search. Results are ordered by decreasing relevance.s |
