Obviously, time is the number one factor. Classes, exams, organising a sexy black &amp; white party, all that requires time, and come first in my list of priorities.
</p>
<div align="left">
</div>
<p align="left">
Another thing, which I think is related to the time issue, is the average length of my posts: too long! I also tried to implement some kind of dual-language capacity of the blog, but manually translating also requires a lot of time. It might be worth asking whether I should keep both french and english or only one of them. Also implementing this functionality messed up a couple of things in the website.

<p><span id="more-105"></span>
<p align="justify">
All these issues are more or less already being addressed. However, I<br />
also feel it is the right time to consider a different vision for my<br />
personal blog. When the website was developped, it was meant to be some<br />
kind of small community website, with a developed member page and<br />
interesting member facilities. Also included a plugin for photos<br />
(Expose4) and other tweaked features which meant that when I felt the<br />
will for blogging, I thought this could be a good start, and by<br />
changing 2 or 3 things I could easily transform it in a blog. This site<br />
is using Joomla, a powerful CMS, in its 1.0.x version. Very adapted to<br />
develop your own website pretty easily, without prior knowledge. With<br />
time, it led me to believe this is no really adequate for blogging. The<br />
template is too narrow, community is big but has started to migrate<br />
towards the 1.5 version, something I am not wanting to do.

Enter WordPress, leader of the blogging php<br />
scripts/CMS. Huge community, basic functions, but does what it is meant<br />
to be. I already have what is required to run it on my webserver so<br />
basically no technical requirements. I want to go back to blogging, and<br />
to blogging only. It&#8217;s <a href="http://www.monsieurdream.com/index.php/2009/02/17/1133-how-to-avoir-un-blog-de-merde/" target="_self">a post on Mr. Dream&#8217;s blog</a>  which made me start to realize many things were <i>OTT</i>.
</p>
<div align="left">
</div>
<p align="left">
The radio plugin is useless, in fact I used it so when I don&#8217;t have my<br />
music with me I can easily listen to something that I like. But<br />
actually I just need to go on lastFM to do the same thing, right? The<br />
last members module is also useless, and so are the &quot;fast<br />
navigation&quot;,Games, Tops, the detailed member page. In fact, except for<br />
admin purposes, there&#8217;s no need for any sort of login. Maybe close<br />
family or friends to give them access to my naked pictures <img src='http://www.ixday.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  .
</p>
<div align="left">
</div>
<p align="left">
Main problem with this migration would be the transfer<br />
of the contents, to find another solution for pictures and maybe<br />
videos. For pictures, there&#8217;s Picasa which allow 1GB of pics, I need to<br />
forget about FlickR, limitations are just crazy. Or I could have a php<br />
script or another flash gallery and put the pics directly on my server<br />
(I have 50GB, that should do it <img src='http://www.ixday.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ). For transfer of contents, I&#8217;ve<br />
seen so &quot;wizard&quot; to migrate from joomla to wordpress&#8230; I don&#8217;t know<br />
what it is worth, maybe I should give it a try&#8230;
</p>
<div align="left">

Anyway, I think pretty soon, things are going to change here!</p>

Ok IUJ coursework always keeps us busy anyway but last week was just&#8230; ouch! Multiple assignments / homeworks, quizzes every day, Japanese still there. Somehow I am still alive <img src='http://www.ixday.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . So this post is about my first time snowboarding &#8211; in Japan &#8211; and same resort as last time, the worldwide famous 浦佐スキー場. 3 runs at max, no big difficulties. Basically a decent place for beginners, who also have $$$ in mind. The weather was ok, sometimes sunny sometimes cloudy, but still enough to snowboard without goggles (which I don&#8217;t own anyway). The video of the day should land on the blog pretty soon.</div>
<p><span id="more-104"></span></p>
<p><img style="margin: 5px; float: left" title="empty ski runs" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3471/3267493693_dd3c3e2c5c.jpg" alt="empty ski runs" /></p>
<p align="justify">Again this time, the ski resort was pretty quiet (apart from the Japanese music that you hear going up on the lift). This time, the ski resort was completely empty from 11am til 1pm! No pressure, no people, no kids to bother you, and you can actually fall without anyone but friends noticing. Snow was fresh even though now after 2 weeks without snow it might be a problem.</p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify"><img style="margin: 5px; float: left" title="snowboard gear japan" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3536/3267493319_3dc67b3bcf.jpg" alt="snowboard gear japan" /></p>

<p align="justify">Fully equipped we were ready to go down&#8230; Urasa&#8217;s resort has no real snowboard facilities like rails, halfpipes or kickers, but one can still have fun.</p>
<p align="justify">Place was so quiet you could even check your emails in the middle of the lift arrivals!!!</p>
<p align="justify"><img style="margin: 5px; float: left" title="ryosuke checking phone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3268317412_a07ec0d8d3.jpg" alt="ryosuke checking phone" /></p>

Internship applications, homeworks, assignments, homeworks again, group work, group meetings, maintaining a social life, and, for the bravest people in IUJ, JAPANESE!!!! You spend long long nights not moving forward, and then you feel sleepy during classes, then you take a nap, it&#8217;s a vicious circle&#8230; Anyway, I&#8217;m not here to take about class, but about snow! Yeah cause right now, it&#8217;s winter (just in case you didn&#8217;t notice). As you might have seen in my pics, from my window you can see a ski resort. In fact, it&#8217;s Urasa&#8217;s ski resort. And guess what? As local students, we get discounts. It&#8217;s kind of a small resort, two or three runs only, but good enough to get you back in business.
</div>
<p><span id="more-103"></span>
<p align="justify">
So, last week, first time back on skis since&#8230; I can&#8217;t even remember but I think it&#8217;s something like 5 or 6 years. Let&#8217;s just say, &quot;a long time&quot;. Ok, first things first, we headed to the ski rental place. Big surprise, skis are like 30 years-old. As expected we had some troubles with ski boots but eventually the owner got it figured out. That guy also had a strange way of evaluating the right height for poles.<br />

Main thing about these chairs: no security bar!!! I was kind of used to it when I was in Europe, but here I guess they just let people fall off the chair and die (or break a leg). The things you see on the right are the nightlights, because yes, even on very very small ski resort, you can ski at night!!! I&#8217;ve not tried yet, but I might do it once just to experience it.

Very nice view&#8230; And the good side of being a student, you can go skiing while others are at work. The resort is almost always empty during daytime!!!! Anyway, to show you how it looks, a short video:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img title="panasonic 921P" src="http://www.whiteshop.jp/shop/item/whiteshop/picture/goods/1206_2.jpg" alt="mon panasonic 921P" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="200" height="200" align="left" />Je vais enfin presenter mon telephone portable, ou keitai en japonais. Il s&#8217;agit du Panasonic 921P de chez SoftBank, en noir. En fait je ne l&#8217;ai eu qu&#8217;il y a deux mois seulement vu qu&#8217;il me fallait l&#8217;alien card. Toujours est-il qu&#8217;apres plusieurs recherches, et surtout consultations d&#8217;eleves deja present au Japon depuis un an, il s&#8217;avere que Softbank etait le plus interessant, dans ma situation en tout cas. Meme les etudiants japonais l&#8217;ont confirme. Pourquoi? En fait c&#8217;est plutot simple: tous les appels entre mobiles Softbank sont <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>gratuits</strong></span> sauf entre 21h et 1h du matin. Comme 95% des etudiants de l&#8217;universites sont chez Softbank, je vous imaginer le tableau.</p>
<p>Donc le White Plan (formule de base) coute 800 yens. C&#8217;est un genre de pay-as-you-go (paiement au fur et a mesure de l&#8217;utilisation). Le principal cout a supporter finalement est celui de l&#8217;achat du telephone. En effet, c&#8217;est plutot cher generalement, mais vous avez la possibilite de payer en plusieurs fois (12 fois pour un an et 24 pour 2ans), seulement il faut faire attention a la duree du visa et prendre en consequence. Avec un visa de 2 ans, j&#8217;ai pris la seconde option, et finalement pour 15 euros je paie le telephone ainsi que le &#8220;forfait&#8221; de base.</p>
<p>Au forfait de base s&#8217;ajoutent tous les appels entre 21h et 1h du matin, et tous les appels vers des mobiles autres que Softbank. Autant dire que j&#8217;evite ces deux cas de figure et mon surcout est generalement proche de 0. Les SMS sont  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>gratuits</strong></span> eux aussi (mais impossible d&#8217;en envoyer a d&#8217;autres operateurs par contre). Les e-mails se paient au prix du paquet de communication (relativement derisoire, pour une centaine de mails je paie environ 400 yens). A noter le fait qu&#8217;on puisse envoyer et recevoir des e-mails entre telephones et ordinateur. Ainsi, je peux envoyer un email depuis le telephone et on peut y repondre sans aucun souci. Le wap (internet mobile) consomme par contre pas mal de paquet, et la facture peut grimper tres vite&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Cote caracteristiques, c&#8217;est sur que compare avec mon telephone francais, c&#8217;est le jour et la nuit&#8230; Premierement, l&#8217;ecran fait a peu pres deux fois la taille de mon ancien portable (bon j&#8217;exagere un peu la) mais le rendu est bien superieur. Le nom est d&#8217;ailleurs sous-titre VIERA, comme les televiseurs Panasonic (bon de l&#8217;autre cote les telephones Sharp ont AQUOS de marque dessus). Une memoire interne ridicule, mais heuresement il accepte les cartes micro-SD et il se trouve que j&#8217;en ai une de mon ancien telephone</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">Concernant l&#8217;appareil photo, le capteur est un 5.1 Megapixels. Bon il se trouve que j&#8217;ai egalement un appareil photo numerique Casio avec la meme resolution, donc la comparaison est assez facile.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">1) Ce telephone n&#8217;a pas de flash! Plutot useless un appareil 5.1Mpixels sans flash, mais bon peut etre qu&#8217;on n&#8217;a pas le droit de prendre des photos la nuit, aucune idee.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">2) Si en pleine journee les photos sont de qualite se rapprochant de mon appareil numerique, des qu&#8217;il fait un peu sombre et meme avec le mode nuit, on ne voit quasiment rien. C&#8217;est bete parce que quand j&#8217;ai envie de prendre des photos c&#8217;est justement en soiree&#8230; L&#8217;interet d&#8217;un gros capteur sur un telephone serait justement de pouvoir me passer d&#8217;un APN compact, mais bon c&#8217;est rate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">3) Le mode video est correct, mais enregistre dans un format moisi et lourd qui fait que j&#8217;arrive pas a convertir les videos sur mon pc (surtout j&#8217;ai pas envie de m&#8217;embeter a ca). La encore mon APN avec son M-JPEG moisi, fait mieux.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">Sinon le telephone a un GPS, mais bon faut payer pour l&#8217;utiliser donc&#8230; je l&#8217;utilise pas. Un petit ecran exterieur qui affiche date et heure, appel manques ou mails recus, avec  de jolies couleurs flashy genre violet ou rose. L&#8217;appareil a egalement le Bluetooth 2.0 et l&#8217;infrarouge (pratique pour s&#8217;echanger les contacts). Par contre j&#8217;aime pas trop trop le clavier trop plat a mon gout. Jolis menus en fausse 3d, c&#8217;est reactif, rien a dire. Je ne m&#8217;attarderai pas trop sur les fonctions gadgets genre calculatrice ou agenda&#8230; Quelques jeux, bon je m&#8217;en fiche un peu&#8230; L&#8217;appareil est Osaifu Keitai, i.e. il a une puce sans contact (utilisable pour payer le metro a tokyo ou regler certains achats).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">L&#8217;appareil a une fonction TV. Il peut recevoir la TV numerique japonaise, et ce gratuitement. Marche tres bien en ville, beaucoup moins bien la ou je suis, en rase campagne&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify"><img title="921p tv" src="http://www.softbankmobile.co.jp/ja/news/press/2008/20080603_06/img/010_pic_02.jpg" alt="921 tv" width="250" height="143" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">On peut ouvrir le telephone comme ca pour regarder la TV, c&#8217;est assez enorme je trouve. Un ami a moi a un autre style:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify"><img title="ami tel" src="http://3gweek.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/sharp_sh-920_aquos_1-thumb.jpg" alt="ami tel" width="450" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">Chacun son style&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">Truc que j&#8217;aime trop a propos de ce telephone, il y a un bouton a gauche de la charniere, quand on le presse le telephone s&#8217;ouvre. J&#8217;utilise plus que ca maintenant pour l&#8217;ouvrir!!! Sinon question autonomie eh bien je suis plutot tres impressionne, je recharge peut etre une fois tous les 3-4 jours (quand j&#8217;ecoute pas de musique ni ne regarde la TV, sinon c&#8217;est tous les jours/tous les deux jours). Il faut egalement que le telephone n&#8217;est pas fourni avec un chargeur (enfin il le font payer quand on achete quoi).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">Je terminerai par la fonction media player. Surement une des pires que j&#8217;ai jamais connue sur un telephone portable&#8230; Premierement, il faut un adaptateur special pour les ecouteurs, jusque-la c&#8217;est normal je trouve. Par contre, tous les fichiers musicaux doivent etre au format WMA ou M4A. Inutile de dire que la conversion m&#8217;a plutot bassine. Les boutons a l&#8217;exterieur du telephone ne sont pas utilise pour gerer le lecteur, ce qui est fort dommage. En ce qui concerne les videos, j&#8217;ai essaye 50 formats a 50 resolutions differentes, j&#8217;ai bien lu le manuel, mais rien impossible d&#8217;en lire une seule&#8230; A noter egalement l&#8217;impossibilite d&#8217;utiliser une musique comme sonnerie&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">
<p style="text-align: justify">Enfin dernier point, il est impossible de couper le son en mode appareil photo, donc ca fait toujours un GROS bruit quand on prend une photo&#8230; Pas tres discret. Selon un ami japonais, cela serait obligatoire sur tous les mobiles japonais, afin que l&#8217;on sache qu&#8217;on est pris en photo (qui a dit une mesure anti-pervers?).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="left"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3254/3047657328_49e9eef241_m.jpg" alt=" " title="snow" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="209" height="157" align="left" /> La voila! La neige! La semaine derniere, gros coup de froid, et hop au lieu d&#39;avoir de la pluie, il s&#39;est mis a neiger, pour la premiere fois de l&#39;annee. Alors que c&#39;est un evenement plutot banal pour moi petit Europeen, meme si il neige rarement a Bordeaux, Albi ou Aiguillon, c&#39;est un evenement pour beaucoup d&#39;asiatiques qui n&#39;ont jamais vu de neige de leur vie. D&#39;ailleurs, la region ou se trouve l&#39;universite est surnommee &#38634;&#22269; (yukiguni), litteralement &quot;pays de la neige&quot;. Mes contacts locaux m&#39;ont souffle que l&#39;enneigement en pleine saison varie chaque annee entre 200 et 300cm, ce qui doit etre plutot impressionnant a n&#39;en pas douter. D&#39;ailleurs la region est souvent frequentee par des tokyoites qui viennent pour skier l&#39;hiver. En parlant de ski, 80% des etudiants n&#39;ont jamais skie de leur vie, ce sera egalement une grande premiere pour eux, tandis que pour moi cela ne devrait pas trop poser de problemes, meme si je ne me rappelle meme plus la derniere fois que je suis alle au ski. Ca doit surement etre comme le velo, ca ne &quot;s&#39;oublie pas&quot;. </div>
<p><span id="more-91"></span>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Toujours est-il que alors que la neige se transformait en pluie en fin d&#39;apres-midi, je pensais que ca allait s&#39;arreter la. Mais en fait le froid aidant, j&#39;ai eu une petite surprise de ma fenetre au reveil:</p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3151/3046839341_55ff3a9982.jpg" alt="neige bis" title="neige bis" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3246/3046838807_73248c704c.jpg" alt="neige" title="neige iuj" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>6-7 centimetres tout au plus, mais bon tout etait blanc! Comme tous les jours, j&#39;allais de bon matin en cours de japonais, j&#39;ai donc pu prendre des photos de l&#39;universite &quot;blanche&quot;:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3053/3046840369_17e906ac66.jpg" alt="neigee " title="neigeee" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3248/3047676758_4124e7be5b.jpg" alt="plaza neige" title="plaza neige" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/3047677364_d38b8e1796.jpg" alt="horloge neige" title="horloge neige" width="375" height="500" /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Le reste de la journee etait plutot ensoleille, ce qui rend beaucoup mieux en photo:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3152/3047682334_7460157f57.jpg" alt="soleil neige" title="soleil neige" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">Je m&#39;arrete la sur les photos, car toutes ces photos sont disponibles dans la partie &quot;Photos&quot; du site (en haut de la page, cliquez sur &quot;<a href="component/option,com_expose/Itemid,55/" title="Photos">Photos</a> &quot; . Les photos sont dans Japon ==&gt; Snow!</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">Pour la petite histoire, meme si il reste encore de la neige ca et la, la quasi-totalite a fondu du fait de la remontee des temperatures, du soleil. Mais bon vu que le staff de l&#39;universite installe des protections un peu partout pour lutter contre le poids de la neige ou l&#39;enneigement tout court, je me dis que il ne devrait pas trop tarder a reneiger. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Qu&#39;est-ce que je fais pratiquement tous les samedis? Je vais a JUSCO. Il s&#39;agit d&#39;un supermarche de taille moyenne, enfin je veux dire grand par rapport a ce qu&#39;on pourrait trouver a Urasa. Il y a aussi quelques autres magasins: un magasin d&#39;electromenager, un magasin de sport, un 100-Yen shop, une droguerie, un magasin d&#39;occasion, et pas mal de petits restaurants, en incluant un Makudonarudo (mac Donald&#39;s, vous l&#39;aurez devine).<br /><span id="more-87"></span>
<div align="justify">Chaque samedi donc, l&#39;Universite fournit deux bus qui emmenent gratuitement les etudiants a cette commerciale. Il y a environ 15 minutes de trajet. 3 horaires disponibles, le premier bus partant vers 10h et le dernier vers 13h. C&#39;est donc gratuit mais le nombre de places dans le bus est limite (environ une 40aine de places). Surtout, il faut un ticket pour monter dans le bus, generalement les tickets sont distribues une heure avant le depart du bus, donc pour le bus de 10h il faut etre la a 9h le samedi matin. Ca peut arriver facilement d&#39;etre recale car on n&#39;est arrive que 30 min avant le depart&#8230; Une fois arrive a JUSCO, on donne environ deux heures aux etudiants pour faire leurs courses, pas plus. Bon en meme temps c&#39;est vrai qu&#39;il y a pas grand chose a faire mais il est par exemple impossible de prendre le bus d&#39;apres pour revenir.</div>
<div align="justify">&nbsp;</div>
<div align="justify">D&#39;une maniere generale, faire ses courses a Jusco est moins cher que faire ses courses en ville. Le choix y est egalement plus varie, taille du magasin oblige. Mais finalement on se retrouve plus a aller a Jusco pour meubler son samedi et flaner dans les memes magasins qui n&#39;ont pourtant pas change depuis la semaine derniere.</div>

<p id="article_credit" align="justify"><em>NIIGATA — </em></p>
<p align="justify"><em>A bear attacked two people on Sunday morning in Minami-Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. The victims suffered severe injuries to their head and face, police said Monday.</em></p>
<p align="justify"><em>According to police, the bear attacked Hatsui Toda, 75, around 6:40 a.m. when she was collecting nuts in the forest. About 20 minutes later, Kazumasa Ishida, 68, was also attacked by what is believed to have been the same bear on a road about 2 km from the forest. </em></p>
<p align="justify"><em>Police said the bear is about 1.6 meters tall. Local hunter groups have been mobilized to find the bear.</em></p>
<p align="justify">

<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">Pour info Minami-Uonuma City, c&#8217;est la ou je me trouve actuellement&#8230; Et effectivement nous avons ete informes d&#8217;une attaque d&#8217;ours non loin du campus. C&#8217;est assez marrant dans un sens car je n&#8217;ai vraiment pas le sentiment que je pourrais me faire attaquer par un ours en allant en cours <img src='http://www.ixday.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">Par contre ca reste moins marrant pour les personnes qui ont ete blessees&#8230; On a eu droit a des affiches un peu partout sur le campus comme quoi il fallait faire attention et prevenir si on apercevait la bete, qui apparemment court toujours. On nous a dit que les gens du coin portaient des sortes de clochettes pour tenir les ours a distance en montagne.</p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">Sinon je peux toujours faire le mort:</p>
