Le grand problème pour l'enfant et l'homme est précisément de ne pas saturer toutes ses mémoires, de ne pas tout connaître, de garder des places libres, et il en faut beaucoup pour accueillir les nouveautés qui défilent à toute allure. (Science et Bonheur des Hommes. Leprince-Ringuet, Louis. Flammarion. 1973, p.128)
My name is Julien Scordia, I live in France and work as an engineer.
I use LyX to take reading
notes, write syntheses, and maintain some diaries.
Some of my notes are uploaded on this website, which is named Perusal, Synthesis, Bliss.
They are provided "as is", with no censorship, since I have not enough time to tweak them for hours;
yet I hope that the contents may be of some use to people finding them by
serendipity. Perusal, Synthesis, Bliss is written in English language as much as possible but
it may contain French here and there (when relevant or when I did not take time
to write in English).
You may contact me by clicking

if needed my
public key for encryption is available.
Perusal, Synthesis, Bliss is completely made from LyX source documents, using a homemade
script generating the index pages and menus automatically from a directory
hierarchy on my computer (about 2000 lines of Python
code). Manual operations
are reduced to the minimum. As a LyX to HTML converter I use elyxer
since for the time being it is superior to the LyX to XHTML internal converter.

Sometimes I use the following color code in the articles:
-
orange,
red to indicate significant points in my text or
in the text of others, by order of increasing importance;
-
green (less important) and lime (more important) to indicate my own comments in
the text of someone else (then between square brackets, [like this]) , or in my summary of the text of someone
else. Often I prepend my initials "JSA" to be still clearer about that;
-
gold to underline definitions (new words in the text);
-
magenta to indicate points possibly to be
investigated on my side, or unclear points at the time of page upload.
