This post is part of a 4-posts series. It describes a solution to painlessly "publish" Rich Internet Applications in Drupal. The first post in this series lists the requirements that I set to myself for this weekend project.

Minimeter is a handy Firefox extension that helps keeping an eye on one'Internet usage. I have already blogged about this extension here a while ago.

This extension stopped working for me this week and returned an error whenever it connected to Videotron to fetch my Internet usage statistics. For those looking for a quick fix, clearing Videotron cookies will very probably solve the problem until the next time it occurs.

This is a step by step fix not intended for the faint-hearted users.

I went to watch documentary Surviving Progress last weekend. The fact that notorious names such as Pr. Stephen Hawking and Pr. David Suzuki were in this movie was a paramount incentive for me. To a lesser extent, the fact that the movie was a canadian production also sparked my curiousity.

It is a fact that we owe much  to the ancient greek philosophers and mathematicians. Such mathematicians succeeded to turn all the trade-motivated calculation recipies gathered by sumerians and babylonians after them into a sound science that we call mathematics today. Some of the pioneers in this adventure were the Pythagoreans.

This book has got my attention a couple of weeks ago during one of my weekend bookstore roaming. On the book cover one could read that this was about the foundation of a theoretical physics institute in Waterloo, the Perimiter Institute. An institute that aims answering foundational questions about quantum physics while taking different sometimes divergent approaches in tackling this problem. 

In this long labor day weekend, I was in the mood of doing some shopping, read some Internet shopping, read some geeky Internet shopping.
