I am cited in the IT part of the Journal du Net.

An excerpt in French:

Vous êtes-vous fait aider par des sociétés de services concernant ce travail d’optimisation des requêtes ?
Oui, par une petite société tenue par Nicolas Toper et Luc Bizeul. Ils nous ont aidés à faire des tests de montée en charge, d’analyse de configuration et de détection de points sensibles.

Thanks to 20minutes and Nicolas for having enjoyed so much our work, he mentions us in the press.

Update Everybody know this since three months… Well I live in the countryside.

According to Joseph, one of my close friends, we are transitioning from history to “post-history”. Prehistory to history was marked by invention of writing. Post-history by keeping everything online.

We are in this time because everything someone makes/write is digital. It can be kept for a cost approaching zero. Future historians will have more than a glimpse of this time: they will be able to experience this time.

Digging a little bit more, this is not yet true: currently most of the dataset are deleted but the time where everything will be archived is not far away. We can see it coming thanks to a few archiving websites.

Another example: phone operators keep the content of all your SMS. Right now, only the police can access them (in Europe) but historians will be able to… And you too !

I don’t know how new is this idea but I find this idea fascinating.
