DidTheyReadIt? Not In France

DidTheyReadIt? Not In France 07/02/2004 02:57 PM
You may recall the somewhat pointle ss hype over a product called DidTheyReadIt, which was simply taking a common spammer tool, the web bug, and letting anyone use it to track who opened their email messages. While they claimed it was "undetectable," that was simply not true, and the product wouldn't work at all for anyone who didn't have HTML email turned on (which everyone should do). Anyway, now reports are coming out saying that France, who has a history of over-reacting to internet fears, has declared DidTheyReadIt illegal. The link is translated from French, so it may not be the most accurate. It's not entirely clear what this means. Does it mean that anyone using DidTheyReadIt is breaking the law if they email someone in France? Or does it just apply to people who are in France trying to use DidTheyReadIt? And, do we really need a law to protect us from something that is easily stopped by technology? Update: The American press is now picking up on the story, suggesting that it applies to subscribers in France and they risk a five year prison sentence for using the technology. Seems a bit... extreme.

Found France

Found France 01/07/2004 06:47 PM
I was doing a little cleaning on my computer and I came across some restaurant reviews I wrote when I was in Paris in November 2002. In case you'll be heading over there sometime soon, I repost them for you. And for myself, since they bring back such nice memories for me. Apparently it's "Reminisces and Nostalgia" week at megnut.

Les 3
3, rue Saint Croix de la Bretonnerie (Marais)
Paris, 75004

Another amazing dinner at Les 3 around the corner from our house. This place was recommended by Gil, who's a chef and whose apartment we're renting. He was not wrong about this place. More au current than Le Colimaçon and similar to something one would find in San Francisco, the food was spectacular. I started with a cream of chestnut soup, accompanied by a slice of fois gras on toast (YUM!) and then had rouget in a sauce of some sort and a side of potatoes gratinee. Wow. So good....chestnuts are my new favorite thing. I'm going to buy a little bag of roasted ones to try out soon from the guys that sell them on the corner. Was going to today in the cold rain but forgot. Will report on how they taste soon. Expect most reports from France to be about food and nothing else. Musee d'Orsay was good, but you would have expected that.

Ginette de la Côte d'Azur
101, rue Caulaincourt (Montmartre)
75018, Paris

Very nice lunch in a stylish café in Montmartre. While the entrees (English entrees) were fairly expensive, and much more than we wanted to spend for lunch, the salads and omelettes were priced more reasonably and were delicious. I had an omelette provençcal which was filled with wonderful cooked veggies like red peppers, eggplant, and zucchini. It was served with some nice red leaf lettuce dressed lightly in a simple vinaigrette. A glass of red wine bouch du Rhône accompanied. 21.30 euros for two.

I got a ping last night from some folks at U-blog, one of the leading French weblog companies, asking for a friendlier interface for all the blogging frogs out there. Best of all, they sent over all the internationalized HTML I needed to convert the pages for them. So, now you can see the French homepage with top 100 french language weblogs - seems like the French aren't using the high-priority indexer much yet, so only a few major weblog services are currently represented. I'm sure that that will change over time. Note to weblog developers: There's an XML-RPC interface and instru ctions on how to use it available as well.

To say thanks to the u-blog folks, I put up a special u-blog top 100 just for them. Kudos guys - working code is always the easiest way to my heart. Thanks Loic, for pulling it all together.

France to Get Nationwide WiMax

France to Get Nationwide WiMax 09/23/2004 03:18 PM
Altitude Telecom, the only owner of a nationwide 3.5 Ghz license in France, plans to use Alvarion gear to build a broadband wireless network in the country: The Alvarion gear is based on WiMax, though not yet certified as WiMax because the certification process hasn't started yet. Altitude will start out with four counties and move on from there. It's interesting to note that Altitude plans to use the wireless network to serve small to large businesses. That target market is the same market that broadband wireless operators have traditionally targeted. WiMax, however, has often been touted as a DSL replacement that could be used to serve the residential market. Perhaps Altitude will use the next generation of WiMax gear to target the residential market....

France Falls Far Behind Neighbors

France Falls Far Behind Neighbors 12/09/2003 03:51 PM
France has far fewer hotspots than any of its European neighbors: In fact, it's on par with Slovenia in terms of number of hotspots. It seems mostly the government is to blame. One conspiracy theory is that the government stands to benefit from the success of 3G networks so it wants to prevent Wi-Fi from becoming a competitor to those mobile networks. Government mandates, such as one that held until last November that prevented any Wi-Fi coverage outdoors for fear of interference with military operations, surely slowed down build out. Just last summer the government dropped to demand that municipalities get federal permission to hang APs....
