March 2009
(Back to the beginning of this year)Added the "Shop" section. To see it, go to:
From there you can buy DVDs, music, books, videogames and much more! Thanks for your support!
February 2009
(Back to the beginning of this year)Tip of the Day: Add videos to your diary!
When you add a new entry, click on the button and insert the URL of the YouTube video. The video will then appear in this entry! You can even create an entry type called "Video" and associate all entries containing videos with this type. So when you consult your diary, from the search box, you can filter the "types" of entries and select only the "Video" type. When you'll click "Search" only entries with video will be displayed!
December 2008
(Back to the beginning of this year)Added the "Partners" section accessible from the link at the bottom of each page. If you wish, you can vote for this site from time to time ...
Since last few days, redid the visual aspect of the site and began to resolve some compatibility problems with certain browsers ... (problems in Internet Explorer? No! Never!). Started the Japanese translation via Google translator ... This is probably inconsistent but better than nothing ... at least ... I hope ...
November 2008
(Back to the beginning of this year)Grand Opening of "je - diary search engine"! Welcome home!
Created the "Blossom" theme. Finished, or almost, the theme creation part of the configuration page. The site is on its way! (and I need to sleep ... rrrrooonffll ... yeah... sleeping good for me... rrrroonnffflll....)
Uploaded the site "je.bngscarecrow.com" and did some testing ... some fixes ...
October 2008
(Back to the beginning of this year)Restart to work on "je - diary search engine"! Rebuilt the full site, starting on a more solid base and making it easier to update.
November 2006
(Back to the beginning of this year)Following bitter disappointment leading me to seek answers in my past; and to simplify the searches in this document that was becoming increasingly voluminous, I decided to create a toddler "local" site. A site through which I could insert all these days descriptions in a database so as to filter the content and simplify my research. "je - diary search engine", then named "MaLife", was born ... 4 years almost day-to-day after "VL7 - production details and personal life" and two years almost day-to-day before the opening of the online version ... Hey that's fucked-up! I'd just noticed that! ...
November 2002
(Back to the beginning of this year)During the creation of "Vedje Légume 7 - du pain et du soufre", a very introspective and autobiographical album, and following a few personal setbacks, I decided it would be interesting to write on a daily base all the details concerning the production of the album and all other events, from the most innocuous to the more significant. I knew only way later that the embryo of "je - diary search engine" had just germinated ... That same day, I learned that my father had cancer.
