How to create CSS layouts without using FLOAT →

Hollywood n'a (encore) rien compris

On en parle à gauche et à droite: Hollywood et ses studios vont proposer des offres de location “digitale” (via iTunes ou autres).

Bad Karma

Après les applications de 37signals vendredi dernier, c’est Tumblr qui souffrait de discontinuité d’accès hier. Personelement, je n’en ai pas soufert, mais ce fut visiblement assez mauvais pour qu’ils mettent en place un messages d’avertissement sur le site et publient des excuses pour leurs utilisateurs.

In fine, le Futzer amasse donc un masse de connaissance, a priori inutile et chaotique. Une fois la masse critique...
