I am very pleased to launch our own CouzFC forum today !

As stated, “[there] you’ll find active discussions and, sometimes, verbal insults among some Mauritian cousins who want to stay in touch. The Meetoo’s, the Nagawa’s, the Beeharry’s, the Persand’s, the Seereekissoon’s, the Gya’s and the Luckynarain’s welcome you all to CouzFC !!!”

Have fun !

WordPress is here to stay

WordPress

Noulakaz.net has been upgraded today to WordPress as a replacement to Movabletype for the weblog.

There are two main reasons why this is so :

  • Movabletype, being used a lot, is frequently targetted by countless spammers and I was becoming bored of having to delete spam comments every day from my blog. It’s possible to use Movabletype 3.x to solve part of this problem but the licensing issues bothered me. So I went for WordPress which is a 100% open source software.
  • WordPress claimed to be able to import all my Movabletype setup automatically. And effectively, all (well, most) configuration, all posts and all comments were imported in no time.

WordPress rocks !

End of an era…

IBM will sell its PC division to the Chinese company, Lenovo, in 2005.

Under this complex arrangement, Lenovo will become the third largest PC supplier behind HP and Dell.

As stated, “the deal would allow IBM to continue its shift from selling so-called commodity products toward selling services, software and high-end computers.”

Participate in the discussion at Slashdot.

For those who do not know computer history, IBM is the inventor of the PC so this is really the end of an era…
