Flickr - Sauvegarde/export globale des données(métadonnées) - Wiki URFIST
by decembre
Flickr présente l'inconvénient majeur de ne pas permettre une sauvegarde/export globale des données, alors même que Exporter les images est facile, mais le problème principal demeure: comment sauvegarder les métadonnées ajoutées aux photographies. Conserver les métadonnées dans les images même et non dans un fichier externe. C'est le sens de la règle d'or posée par Erwyn Van Der Meer, l'auteur de l'outil Flickr Metadata Synchr, listé plus haut, dans un article où il fait un point très clair et synthétique sur les formats et la façon dont Flickr les utilise (ou pas): "Store the metadata in your images!" De quelles métadonnées parle-t-on? * celles enregistrées par l'appareil (digital) au moment où la photographie est prise (informations techniques); format de référence: EXIF * celles ajoutées manuellement (en particulier les mots-clés / tags); formats: IPTC (plus) et XMP(plus), le second plus récent et traitant l'unicode.
Unison - Synchronisation de répertoires - un des plus formidables logiciels de synchronisation existants - gratuit
by decembre
Permet une synchronisation unidirectionnelle ou bidirectionnelle de répertoires, locaux ou distants (par ssh, ou simple socket). Donc vous pouvez modifier des fichiers dans les deux répertoires, Unison s'occupe de les synchroniser. Quand il ne parvient pas à résoudre les conflits, il vous propose des choix. En mode unidirectionnel, ça remplace sans problème rsync. Il est multiplateformes (on peut synchroniser entre Win/Linux/etc.), économe (ne transfers que les parties modifiées d'un fichier, et fait des transfers compressés), sûr (vous pouvez l'arrêter en plein milieu d'une synchro avec très peu de risques de perte). Fonctionne en ligne de commande ou avec une interface graphique (GTK). Même la version ligne de commande est claire et simple à utiliser. Si vous avez besoin d'autres logiciels de synchronisation, voir égalemenbt Wikipedia, DeltaCopy ou cwRsync.

Drupal Migraine
by Xavier Lacot
Drupal smells like hell. For instance, it is notnatively possible to develop freely on a test site while still allowing content updates to continue on a production site. This small script allows you to maintain separate test and production versions of your Drupal site. After you've made configuration changes on the test site, this script can migrate them to the production site for you.
However, I'll pray while testing it :-)

Simple Sharing Extensions for Atom and RSS
by benoit
The scope of Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE) is to define the minimum extensions necessary to enable loosely-cooperating applications to use XML-based container formats such as Atom and RSS as the basis for item sharing – that is, the bi-directional, asynchronous synchronization of new and changed items amongst two or more cross-subscribed feeds.
Timing and Synchronization in JavaScript
by Hiéroglyphe
& 1 other
Timing issues are the source of some of the most devious bugs in JavaScript applications. Problems that never show up during development might surface when the application is used by an end-user on a slow computer or with low bandwidth. Such issues may also be intermittent and difficult to reproduce.
