Cherry-picking Pearls in San Francisco

Excellent Post sur Mr. “Wrong Guy”

Pierre revient sur l'histoire de Guy Goma, ce sénégalais (?) qui est passé en direct à la BBC malgré lui.

Déformation professionnelle (Pierre est expert en Gestion du Capital Humain) oblige Pierre analyse cette histoire qui a fait le tour du net 2 ou 3 fois (et qui ensuite est sortie dans des médias alternatifs comme la Presse ou la TV) sous l'angle de la discrimination à l'embauche. Ce post met en lumière les préjugés -- flagrants dans ce cas -- qui pourrissent la relation Recruteur-Candidat et repose la question du CV anonyme.

Je vote pour les CV anonymes. Reste à savoir comment mettre ça en place au niveau electronique. Est-ce qu'il faut interdire complètement les champs prenom, nom, nationalité, âge, photo ?
Est-ce qu'il faut les rendre simplement optionnels ? Est-ce qu'il faut créer un service de proxy email qui crée des emails du style Jean-Dupond23@cvanonyme.com ?

If you have ever wanted to know wtf w/r/t means exactly, you landed on the right page.
the exact meaning of this abbreviation is “with regards to” (w.r.t).

I know it's somethime difficult to find such a definition on the internet, and dictionnaries aren't of great help.

PS1: let's write it w/r/t the appropriate HTML tag.

PS2: probably a good helper list

Wow, seriously I think this [fr] is a huge step forward for getting my mother on blogs.

So yes, Microsoft Office will post on blogs. Microsoft Word is speaking Atom.

free.fr (indirectly) praised by Tim Berners-Lee

In this post (yes, tbl has a blog), he speaks about broadband in France, describing what kind of offer any french can get for 30€ per month. And face it, the market has been led by Free (iliad) the last years. Thanks competition ! (and thanks public institutions for ensuring the game of competition is played by the rules)

Get rid of Yellow Pages (Aka “Bottin” in France)

I didn't opened this kind of directory for the last 5 years.
As Craig is pointing out it's a waste.

Let's make them available in fewer quantities in Supermarkets/Post Offices only ?
