I recently dug out my old lego blocks coincidentally with the release of Toy Story 3. Here are a few snapshots taken with my E-420 for the photography class. If you like it, there’s this guy who makes terrific representations of famous images in Lego.

Lucky as I am, I got my hands on a bigger toy: a 70-200mm Canon zoom lens. Out of more interesting subjects, I took a picture of my dog. My default 14-42mm Zuiko lens feels boring now. Hello consumerism!

That being said, I don’t spend nearly enough time taking photos. I will try to bring some more color here.

This plugin will display a small ‘?’ icon that links to either the definition or the translation of the word. The plugin is a no-brainer to use: [define:dog] will define the word ‘dog’ and [en2fr:dog] will translate the word ‘dog’ from english to french. The plugin is language-sensitive; Spanish installation will return spanish definitions. Google Dictionary is used to define words, as it has definitions for technical terms in multiple languages. There is also built-in support for translation of the plugin.

Subtle but useful

Dashboard Admin Email

Dashboard Admin Email is a plugin for WordPress that displays the administrator’s email on the dashboard. It’s not rocket science, but it’s a time saver for admins who manage WordPress blogs for clients. I can confirm it works with WordPress 2.9.2 and 3.0.

Dashboard Message

Dashboard Message is a WordPress plugin that displays a custom message on the Dashboard. The plugin will display anything you throw at it, which can be useful for messages to users or quick-and-dirty plugins. I can confirm the plugin works with WordPress 3.0

Using the plugin is very simple: put whatever you want to display in the message.php file in the plugin’s folder. If you need any help, there is the comments section below.

I made those three buttons for a website I will never put online. The icons are still good and could serve someone else, so here they are. Use and distribute them at will, as long as you don’t claim them as your own. Some credit would be appreciated!

I also bundled the Inkscape SVG if you want to edit or resize them.

Ce message s’adresse aux étudiants du Cégep de Granby, et il est donc en français. J’ai créé un petit espace perdu sur le web pour faciliter la revente et l’échange de livres de classe. Comme ça coûte cher et que ça sert pas à grand chose passé la fin de session, j’ai l’impression que ça va servir à quelques étudiants!

Assez parlé, visitez L’ANTI-COOP

This is my current resume template. I thought some people here might find it cool and like to use it too. While thinking out of the box is a big no-no on resumes, I think this one uses it moderately and in a beautiful style. For linux users out there, this resume looks totally rad with the Sawasdee font. I used Arial to preserve compatibility, but feel free to go wild*

You might want to tweak the light gray font, since it will appear very light with some printers. Also, even if this is obvious, don’t forget to change the reference numbers!

Fresh out of its sandbox environment is the new website for Party en Beauté, a new Granby-based event decoration rental service. It’s my first public work as a web developer (unless you count Trly.gd) and I’d appreciate some input.

I just bought the domain deviceroms.com. This will soon become host to a Windows Mobile ROM catalog where cooks can post their hacked firmware. All the crunchy details can be found right here.
