So Logical on Odeo

By 4 Comments

My music is not on Odeo anymore. You’ll them everything on Last.fm now. Please update your bookmarks :-)

I released my “So Logical” album around 2004 and quickly uploaded the tracks to my website. For the first few days, some friends, relatives and students downloaded the tracks but, very quickly, the frequency of downloads decreased.

I’ve now moved the album to Odeo which is a kind of YouTube for audio.

Incidentally, one of the goodies provided by Odeo is a customisable Flash MP3 player that you can see on the right. Feel free to toy around…

Here is a track listing:

  • Zygma
  • The myst
  • Feel free
  • Helium
  • Seduction (Millenium Mix)
  • This is real
  • Play
  • Beautiful sea
  • The end of time

I hope this will give “So Logical” a second lease of life :-)

The Web 2.0 Family

By 9 Comments

The Web 2.0 revolution is on. Blogs are everywhere.

I am happy to tell you that all members of the Meetoo family now have their own blog:

You will notice that the kids have their weblog on wordpress.com. In fact, in some days, Christina will move her own blog there. (Done!) Perhaps, I’ll do the same thing in the coming months

Incidentally, I suppose you know my profile is on LinkedIn, my photos are on Flickr, my books are on LibraryThing, my bookmarks are on del.icio.us, my music compositions are on Last.fm as well as the music I listen to…

The world is changing fast. Either you adapt or you disappear!

My books on LibraryThing

By Leave a Comment

In addition to the quality information found on the Internet, I also have a lot of books. Not all of them are reference quality material but they are all mine…

Yesterday, I have started using LibraryThing, a Web 2.0 application to manage my bookshelf.

LibraryThing will allow me to buy better and better books. I’m thrilled!

I have books on:

Computer Programming

Software Architecture

Hardware, Networking and Parallel Processing

Database and Artificial Intelligence

Operating Systems (Mac OS X, Linux, etc.)

The Web, HCI, Graphics and Multimedia

Various other things I like

By the way, I hope (?) that you have all recognised the cover of Kitab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala written by al-Khwarizmi (AD 780-850). This book is the first book on the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations and consequently Al-Khwarizmi is considered to be the father of algebra (al-Jabr). The word algorithm stems from the Latin version of al-Khwarizmi’s name.

In other words, Al-Khwarizmi is the grandfather of all computer scientists…
