RCL aims at being better than UML use cases. - Jean-François Declercq

Pas le temps de blogger. Il y a pourtant plusieurs sujets que je voudrais documenter : ORM, Salon des vacances, ILOG...

Sur 20 services web2.0 que j'utilise, je me demande combien vont survivre...Cfr http://www.jfdeclercq.com/index.php?pagename=SocialNetworks

Last monday I was in Lagaude (near Nice, France) for a visit of the IBM SOA Center of Excellence.

It was very interesting. It's also a very nice environment.

The goal was to brief one of our customers on several SOA and Industry Solutions.

At the end of the day, we also visited the Industry Solution Center which brings deep dive into most relevant business issues through scenario based demonstrations.

For example, solutions in the Consumer Products Center are presented using a scenario which is customised for you. There is a Consumer Home, Retail Store, Manufacturer/ Retail DC and HQ Office so that solutions can be seen in their proper context.




You can have an overview of Lagaude it here :

And with each other ! It will be on Feb 28th 2009 in Overijse.

Recently I blogged about FeedJournal and Tabloid to make your own newspaper in PDF.

The Printed Blog is the same but with articles selected by the website users. So you can get daily a PDF of the artciles people found the most interesting.

I had to re-upload the mp3s of "La légende dorée de St Georges". They had disappeared.

I had the pleasure to see they now have nice widgets like this one :

Last week I attended a very interesting BPM seminar provided by Denali, a Belgian BPM software company.

For me it's clear there are interesting possible synergies between the processes that Denali can model and document with FlexoBPM and the processes IBM can run and monitor with Webshpere Process Server.

It's also interesting to see that both Denali and IBM will be at Gartner's Business Process Management Summit , on Feb 23-25, 2009.

En fait, Google Desktop est un excellent espion. A chaque fois qu'on cherche sur son ordi quelquechose et qu'on clique "Search More" sans faire exprès, on dit à Google ce qui nous intéresse. Ca pourrait tres bien être des keywords "company confidential"

Everyday, I read the web just like I would read the newspaper. I aggregate news feeds in Netvibes.

Now what if you would prefer to read the news off-line or to print it ?

You can use some services which transform the news feeds into a PDF file.I have tested two of them : Tabbloid and FeedJournal, on my own feed. On the right you have Tabbloid, on the left FeedJournal.


For a deeper look, you can download the PDF files here :
What's nice about it: I can receive a daily archive of my blog by email.

Small problem : the services are not very reliable. You don't always get your email...
What we see today is a lot of Relaunch Plans.

Everybody thinks : "We need a relaunch plan for the economy".

But I think :

"Why do we want to relaunch something that is going straight into the wall ?"
"Isn't it a good time to change direction ?"

So, let's relaunch the competitive machine until we crash in the same wall again. Or should I say until we blow the next bubble.
In 2009, IBM's innovation will focus on a Smarter Planet.

The world needs to be smarter. There are challenges : food, energy, carbon footprints, climate, economy...

Some solutions will come from innovation and IT :
  • Today's transistors/human ratio has never been so high
  • Those "computers" are now interconnected in a huge network
  • They also are more clever, they can report intelligent things.
By using this power we can make better informed decisions and bring a smarter planet.

One day I decided to quit...

Il y a toujours dans la vie des convergences qu'on ne s'explique pas. Par exemple on recoit plusieurs offres d'emploi dans la même semaine. Cette fois ci, j'ai crée un miniblogue hier soir. Sur mon blogue, hier midi, sans relation de cause à effet que je puisse m'expliquer SouCaline a posté un commentaire sur un de mes blogs. Son URL est celui de ... miniblogue. Son commentaire est don antérieur à mon inscription à miniblogue. Moi j'ai découvert miniblogue via Wikipedia...

He is playing violin in the street. Nobody is listening to him. Who is he ?

Read a nice story here : The street musician.

-----------------------------------

Il joue du violon dans la rue. Personne ne l'écoute. Qui est-il ?

Voyez ici : Le musicien de Rue

Ce que j'aime dans le miniblogue c'est qu'il faut même pas chercher un titre. On dumpe directement ce qu'on pense et c'est un peu plus long qu'un Twit.

Je recherche un peu le bon mix pour le futur de mes sites internet. Mon laboratoire c'est ma page publique de Netvibes.

Voila encore un espace pour jouer...Un Miniblogue

This week, I followed a Twitt Post that made me dicover Issuu.

I'm impressed. It's the Web2.0 version of a FSI like application (cfr Playmobil on the Web with FSI).

Eventually some Landscape Layout that fit my screen. This really allows to read magazines on a PC. If you want an example, have a look here :

I'll try miniblogue just for the fun (http://jfdeclercq.miniblogue.fr/)
It will appearFor the moment the content will only appear on Netvibes (http://www.netvibes.com/jfdeclercq#My_Content)

I'm thinking about a review of the way I create content because with Blogger, Twitter, Delicious it becomes a mess...
In twitter I have followers who follow thousands of people. See for example http://twitter.com/chrisblake. I wonder how it's possible to do that. Why do they do that ?
