Arpanet
May 29, 2008 19:55I fell on this blog today about arpanet.
It remembered me trying to explain to my friends at high school what was the origin of Internet.
Quote of the day (from this same article):
The Internet started as ARPAnet, and it was designed to fight a nuclear war, not to download porn or upload movies.
Is this good or bad ? 
My First Post
May 19, 2008 10:07Hello !
This is my first post on this blog, a kind of “hello world” to the blogosphere !
My goal in setting up this blog is not to make money, attract an audience or anything like that. I just want a way to keep track of my research in a pleasant way. Also, because english is not my primary language, it’s a good opportunity to improve it (I’m not really practicing here in Quebec City).
My plan is to blog on various subject related to my research (I’m a PhD student at Université Laval). These subjects would certainly include spatial data, multidimensional database, database tools and engine, geomatics, models, models transformation, development in eclipse environment with framework such as EMF, GMF and GEF, conferences. I’ll also probably blog on technology, life and trees a few times… 
By the way, if you feel that I’m wrong on a certain subject, don’t hesitate to correct me in the comment section. I’m not god (and would not like to be him) and therefore, I’m doing errors in a proportion of around 10% of everything I’m doing.
Enjoy and share !
