“Dès que nos instances auront validé le résultat [du] vote, (…) je veux dire à tous très simplement que je serai le premier secrétaire de tous les militants du parti socialiste car aucun militant ne doit manquer au parti” a déclaré Martine Aubry à l’issue du second tour qui la place en tête de l’élection du premier secrétaire du PS avec 42 voix d’avance. (et là j’apprends qu’on ne féminise pas “premier secrétaire” ?)

I’ve been in a pretty deep reggae phase lately, branching out and exploring some artists I’m less familiar with: Jacob Miller, the Congos, Bunny Wailer, the Gladiators… if you ever want to get lost and explore some reggae, go to Last.fm and start up Bunny Wailer Radio, or Culture Radio, or Jacob Miller Radio. Then grab a Red Stripe (or a Guinness), sit back, and enjoy.

Have you guys & gals seen Three Sheets yet? It’s already 3 seasons old, but I just started watching a few weeks ago. Zane Lamprey is the brilliant & hilarious host, and he has the enviable job of traveling from country to country, exploring local drinking culture (often followed the morning after by  finding the best local hangover remedy). It’s such a great show, and will have you laughing out loud no more than 3 minutes in.

Check out the Jamaica episode of Three Sheets here on Hulu.com. You’ll find out why Guinness is just as popular with the locals as Red Stripe. Trust me, it’s worth your while.

By the way, the channel that hosts Three Sheets, MOJO HD, will be going off the air on December 1st. Worry not, though, Three Sheets will be picked up somewhere, it’s just not clear where yet. Meanwhile you can catch up on all the episodes online for free at Hulu. And if you flip on Mojo today, you’ll land right in the middle of a Three Sheets Marathon. Cheers!

So the other day, I was flipping through my HD channels and came across a show called Music in High Places on Palladia. This episode featured Ryan Adams in Jamaica. Now, I’ve always been a distant admirer of Ryan Adams. I have a few of his records, both solo and with the Cardinals (and I need to get the Whiskeytown albums). But I can feel myself being drawn more and more into his music.

This performance of “Firecracker” on the show was my highlight. I’ve been playing the hell out of this YouTube video since…

Will a pwnage produced ipsw upload correctly using quickpwn?

I'm trying to determine if I can produce an .ipsw on a mac, then bring the file over to windows to do the actual upload. Is quickpwn the right tool to do that final upload, or should I just upload using iTunes?

Thanks,

Having kids is clearly impacting my assessment of applications... And there is no greater proof for this than a new product by IncrediMail called PhotoJoy, an application I would never have given a second thought were I not a father of two.

PhotoJoy is a free downloadable application that uses your photos to produce neat desktop widgets, 3D photo screensavers and wallpaper collages. You can either use photos located on your computer, or ones uploaded to your Flickr account. PhotoJoy can also use your Flickr stream to keep your photos fresh. Notably missing is the ability to import photos from your Facebook account, which is where I for example keep all my online photos on.

The application should run on most Windows XP setups. Sorry, no Mac support at the moment. I’ve been running it on my machine for a week and have noticed no negative performance impacts.

To see PhotoJoy in action check out the video embedded on the bottom of this post for a demo the company whipped up using some photos of my kids.

In many respects the product is similar to long gone Filmloop (remember them?) which both had a hard time dealing with increasing competition courtesy of Slide and RockYou and a blatant lack of support from one of its VC’s. Filmloop was also a one-trick-pony, whereas PhotoJoy is just one of several IncrediMail products—HiYo is another one.

Seeing no immediate business model and with the company’s history in mind, I requested a clarification on PhotoJoy’s ad-ware practices and its business model strategy. IncrediMail’s CEO, Ofer Adler, addressed my concerns:

“We are never going to push any other installation with this product.

We are going to use an advertising through search business model similar in concept to the one of picasa / yahoo messenger / now even AVG antivirus and that to have a free version that will suggest the user during the installation to accept our Google / other partner search properties such as homepage / toolbar / default search provider, assuming a certain % of the installations will accept them. (of course any one who doesn’t want will be able not to accept them). In addition there will be probably a premium version with some more features / content.”

So go ahead and call me a sap, but PhotoJoy puts a smile on my face and sometimes that’s not only good enough, it’s plenty!

Georgia's president urges unity as his country marks the fifth anniversary of the revolution that swept him to power.

Would you pay for a job search application if you could get two others free of charge? The people behind JobCompass are hopeful.

For $3.99, JobCompass [iTunes URL] gives iPhone users a device to scour for jobs with extra emphasis on location - the better to quickly see how far from home you’re willing to travel. Yes, there’s a reason “the daily grind” is part of the everyman’s lexicon.

Here’s what you need to know about the download:

Design

As far as design goes, it’s one of the best. The free options currently on the market, CareerBuilder’s “Jobs” [iTunes] and FICC’s “JOBS!” [iTunes], are noticeable less heavy on pizazz.

It’s not that browsing CareerBuilder’s more veteran alternative isn’t nice to use. It definitely is. Pardon the pun, but it gets the job done. It’s just that JobCompass wears itself better. Of course, whether it $3.99 better is something to take into account as well.

Utility

It’s also useful insofar as mobile access goes. Inputs are easy enough to make. Return data is conveniently arranged in pockets within a specified region. Subsequently, favored job listings can be emailed for future reference. (Applying while on-the-go perhaps isn’t the ideal way to seek gainful employment.)

Plans for Expansion

Currently, JobCompass scours US and English language listings only. (Via Indeed.com, with connections to Monster, HotJobs, and focused like Dice and Cybercoders in the works.) Its creators promise ample internationalism (Germany, Canada, UK, France and Spain, for example), however, as well as and multilingual support in the future.
