Perusal, Synthesis, Bliss

Platon [né en -427] savait que le déboisement et une pâture excessive pouvait entraîner une érosion qui ruinerait des terres fertiles: mille ans auparavant, de grandes civilisations s'étaient détruites elles-mêmes du fait de pratiques agricoles fautives. (En brûlant les combustibles fossiles: nous entamons notre réserve d'oxygène. Cole, Lamont. Science & Vie. Number 606. March 1968. p.53ff, p.55)

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 here; 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.
