Elegy for a Lost French Bookshop…and Freedom

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

At the New Yorker, Adam Gopnik laments the closing of a bookshop in Paris, ultimately tying it to a loss of a kind of personal freedom.

By Edward Nawotka

At The New Yorker, Adam Gopnick eulogizes the closing of La Hune bookshop in Paris. The reasons why it closed are multiple: the owner died in 2010 and Flammarion held management of the store and moved the premesis in 2011, but encountered numerous real estate issues.

It is a place “that brought the special feel and aura and even smells of French literary culture into my heart, as it had into those of many other Americans.” I

He explains,

The quality it offered, very different from any English or American bookstore, was of a high seriousness of purpose, uncut by gaiety, but still surprisingly well disposed towards amateur readers. La Hune demonstrated the oddly severe, puritanical nature of French publishing, with almost everything published only in paperback and, until recently, without any cover illustration or come-on, only the title and the name of the author, the familiar brand color of the maison d’édition, and, at most, a dark band around the book with a cryptic subtitle or explanatory note (“The New Duras”; “Glucksmann on Sixty-Eight,” or the like). These books seemed unyielding in their affirmation of philosophical literariness; like the great French film stars of the postwar period, they seemed to exhale their cigarettes directly in your face, so to speak, begging neither quarter nor favor.

And he sees in French book culture a tie to la seduction, something that is so central to French life:

The rows and rows of book, placed horizontally, in the French fashion, seemed to offer a landscape of unvarying, unblinking sagacity. You are here to woo us, and enter our thoughts, the books declared; we are not leaping up, waving our arms, or our author photos, hand on chin, in your face, to woo you. At La Hune, you felt both intimidated and enlightened, a nice double whammy.

He then goes on to offer a terse, if beautiful description of the serendipity of book browsing:

At a minor level, once a bookstore is gone we lose the particular opportunities for adjacency it offers, determined by something other than an algorithm. It is rarely the book you came to seek, but the book next to that book, which changes your mind and heart.

Is that not often a bit like falling in love. How frequently to you find that you are set up on a date, only to fall for the person sitting next to your intended?

But back to the bookstore…in its closing he ultimately sees a loss of freedom:

The deeper, macro answer of why a closing bookstore is a loss to freedom, is that free-market societies—at times by compensatory instinct, at times by compulsory instruction—have built, alongside the responsive market with its unending appetite for change, smaller institutions where people can exchange ideas, share spaces, be in contact, feel at home, without any particular institutional endorsement from higher authorities.

It is well worth the time you’ll take to browse, errr, read it

Responsive Web Design By Miami Web Developer Adds Broad Accessibility to High Visibility For StreamlineSolutionsUsa.com

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

Miami, FL (PRWEB) December 09, 2012

Streamline Solutions LLC opted out of the great device-agnostic versus device-aware responsive web design (RWD) debate by combining the advantages and avoiding the pratfalls of both in the front-end development of their recently launched “Web 3.0 Ready” website StreamlineSolutionsUsa.com, also accessible as SoiledLinenBags.com.

Streamline Solutions provides hospitals, healthcare facilities and commercial laundries throughout the United States and Canada with soiled linen bags, hamper stands and other laundry and medical supplies. In business since 1999, the first two iterations of their website long enjoyed the high search visibility afforded by semantically-optimized W3C standards-compliant web development. And with the recent launch of their third generation site, they add the broad accessibility potential of a fully responsive web design. According to Ross Sanders, Vice President of Sales and co-owner of Streamline Solutions, “The Web is going mobile and we are responding to that. The new web pages Bruce Arnold designed and developed for us are, in fact, about as ‘responsive’ as you can get. From flip phones to tablets to full-sized desktop monitors, the screen presentation adjusts in real time to optimize the viewer’s experience.”

Scripted in server-side PHP/MySQL with client-side jQuery/Javascript and rendered as W3C-validated HTML5/CSS3, the new SoiledLinenBags.com has an integrated WURFL DDR (device description repository) and leverages the best features of device-agnostic and device-aware responsive web design coupled with semantically-optimized front-end web development to assure both high search visibility and broad device accessibility. Mobile microbrowsers with screen resolutions below 240×320 are automatically routed to their W3C mobileOK “MiniPage” located at m.soiledlinenbags.com. Mobile browsers with screen resolutions of 240×320 or higher are routed to the full presentation but given the option to drop back to the MiniPage. For all web browser screen widths of 240 pixels or above, the Streamline Solutions presentation – including text, images and animations – automatically expands, contracts and adjusts horizontally, vertically and in real time up to a parameter-modifiable maximum of 1300 pixels and is screen-centered beyond that. This assures an ideal presentation for virtually anyone using popular desktop and notebook browsers like Chrome or Firefox as well as tablet and smartphone browsers like Opera Mobile for Android devices or Mobile Safari for iPad/iPhone. Zoom is enabled by default for Mobile Web browsers, but for mobile devices with glitchy zoom capabilities like the original iPad a footer link is provided to disable it.

“Streamline Solutions has a reputation of being one of the most flexible and responsive laundry supply companies in North America,” observed Miami web design veteran Bruce Arnold, “and Web3.0DesignMiami.com and WebReDesignMiami.com worked very hard to develop a design for them that projects those admirable qualities.”

About StreamlineSolutionsUsa.com a.k.a. SoiledLinenBags.com

Streamline Solutions has been providing hospitals, healthcare facilities and other commercial laundries throughout the United States and Canada with recyclable soiled linen bags, hamper stands, disposable plastic waste can liners, cart covers and wraps, infectious waste bags, medical supplies and a wide range of quality, cost-effective product solutions since 1999. Through custom printing, soiled linen and hamper stand, plastic recycling and facility needs analysis programs they create win/win partnerships with a growing base of satisfied customers from coast to coast.

Mobilizer Device Lab Rolls Out Responsive Design Testing on iPhone 6 and 6+

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

Austin, TX (PRWEB) January 05, 2015

Ivity Labs, a start-up in Austin, TX, recently expanded testing devices in its Mobilizer Device Lab to include iPhone 6 and 6+. Now digital professionals can test whether websites are rendering properly on the latest iPhone device, as well as any other popular device sold in the U.S. and abroad.

Ivity’s Mobilizer Device Lab is a revolutionary platform where users can quickly and easily test websites on real devices without having to maintain a device lab or rely on emulators. Acquiring and maintaining a device lab is costly and time consuming and emulators are notorious for falsely representing a website or even presenting blank pages when testing.

The Device Lab enables responsive design testing on actual devices where users can compare retina-quality views side by side and flip orientations from landscape to portrait to see exactly how their website is rendering on any device, including the iPhone 6 and 6+. Only Mobilizer Device Lab gives users the ability to capture and share results near instantly with colleagues and clients.

“Ivity is constantly adding devices to its Mobilizer Device Lab to enable users to perform real world tests so they can execute on their mobile strategy without maintaining their own device lab,” says Dina Fitzpatrick, Director of Product Development at Ivity Labs. “We now offer full support of the iPhone 6 and 6+, giving digital professionals confidence their sites are fully maximized on the world’s most popular devices.”

Ivity Labs believes the only way to guarantee real results is to test on real devices. Within seconds, images can be downloaded and reports generated that include page load times and device statistics, among the many other available metrics.

Founded in 2014 and based in Austin, TX, Ivity Labs creates and develops SaaS products that meet the needs of digital professionals. They focus on developing innovative tools that increase productivity and efficiency for everyday tasks encountered by people working in the digital space. The Board of Directors for Ivity Labs includes Tom West, Sam Decker, and Dan Silmore.

BostonGlobe.com Launches Metered Subscription Model

Post from http://www.danieluk.net

Boston, Massachusetts (PRWEB) March 04, 2014

BostonGlobe.com, the website that provides complete access to The Boston Globe’s award-winning journalism, today launches a metered subscription model that will allow occasional readers to sample some content for free.

The meter, which takes effect today, gives readers access to 10 free stories on BostonGlobe.com during a rolling 30-day period, which begins with the first story. Readers will continue to have access to Globe content when referred from social media and search.

“We’re making this change so occasional readers can sample more of our news, features, opinions, and investigative journalism, free of charge. We hope these readers will find that the Globe is an essential part of their day, and become subscribers,” said Pete Doucette, vice president of consumer sales and marketing. “Our shift to the metered model is part of our effort to continually experiment, test, and analyze how our readers engage with us digitally. We want to find the right balance between sharing on social media and paid subscription access to premium Globe content, and we believe that we can only arrive at that balance through experimentation.”

BostonGlobe.com, which launched as a subscription website in fall 2011, is the official website for the full spectrum of content created by The Boston Globe newsroom, which is continually exploring new ways to tell stories interactively. Subscribers have access to the Globe’s award-winning news, opinion, commentary, video, and investigative journalism – and will be able to comment freely on articles, contributing to the debates and discussions that shape our city and our region.

BostonGlobe.com includes a continually updated stream of breaking news, as well as comprehensive sections like SundayArts, SundayTravel, and Ideas. The site also provides access to ground-breaking exclusives from our Pulitzer Prize-winning Spotlight and metro investigative teams, must-read arts, film, and music criticism, and the expertise of specialists like All Things Catholic columnist John Allen.

Subscriber benefits also include an optimal reading experience via responsive design across all devices, Today’s Headlines Newsletter and Breaking News Alerts, and access to exclusive talks with newsmakers and celebrities through The Boston Globe Insiders program. Subscribers can freely access the ePaper replica edition and the Globe iPhone app.

The metered model is expected to bring more traffic to Globe advertising, providing a strong return on investment for advertisers.
