The GNU Emacs editor originally written by Richard Stallman is used for writing, archival and publishing of all documents presented in this journal: thanks to the Muse Elisp extension all pages (edited locally in simple text) are automatically rendered as a hyper-linked website as well as PDF files with a fine typeset.
This setup shifts most CMS functionalities to the client-side, while removing the requirement for a big web server and database: all documents can be edited and previewed while off-line, the final content can be served from a battery operated wifi box back-taped to the toilet of a cyber-cafe ;)
In fact, publication of static html pages relies on a simple web space instead of depending - and often licensing to - a third-party "content provider".
My personal opinion about Web2.0 is mostly unprintable and with this journal I'm happy to demonstrate an efficient alternative to it.
All audio and Video published here is encoded using OGG technology, an open and free format to compress audio and video : free from any patents, Vorbis and Theora are efficient alternatives to MP3 and MP4, they sound good and they feel even better ;) I advocate use of Ogg files as a standard for multimedia encoding, so there can be a format that anyone is free to implement and use into free software and open hardware players. For more informations see the PlayOgg campaign.
