Pour Christophe Prat j’ai mis en place un site concis et statique, comportant des textes ainsi qu’une galerie, qui a été développée en Javascript, présentant ses peintures . Graphisme et comportements ont été conçus par Mathias Delfau.

Bash script for PNG optimization

The idea of this script is to speed up your website by decreasing PNG file sizes. Furthermore, it shall allow you to integrate transparent PNGs to your website without having to add extra CSS hacks for Internet Explorer.
The script is actually based on guidelines I found on Yahoo’s website. It will first convert given PNG files (be it PNG24 and PNG8) to PNG8 files with an alpha channel and then try to “crush” them, which most of the time decreases file size significantly.

Please do not use this script directly in a production environment unless you know what you are doing. Please check every image after processing. A log file is created and will help you check. Backup original images first. The script has been tested under Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu.

Use on a whole folder like this : ./png-alpha-and.optimize.sh $FOLDER

Requires: pngnq and pncrush.
Download png-alpha-and-optimize.sh

If you are not running a Unix system (or if it’s just the wrong one), well then this is your problem. However, you could use smush.it to do the stuff online, or install pngquant and the Manfred GUI. You may also want to read this howto. If you like to pay for software, then Fireworks is the one who knows how to do it.

Design Mailboy – a web interface for Postfix and Amavis

mailboy interface curlyI made a nice and sober theme for Mailboy, a webinterface for Postfix and Amavis written by Emmanuel Revah. Mailboy is available as a beta-version for the moment but will be published soon under the GPL-License.
As you can see, I even use the software myself and am very happy it exists. :)
