As I said some time ago, I’ll be travelling Copenhagen, Denmark (30/09 → 03/10) then Dublin, Ireland (07/10 → 11/10).

Anton Berezin (tobez@) has planned something for tomorrow evening as he announced on bsd-dk mailing list. Not sure how much people will attend but I guess that will be just great

For some time I’ve been hearing/reading that “Desperate Housewives” is a fantastic serie, so I decided to give it a try. I actually watched the whole first season and it’s indeed a very good serie. Actresses are great, some even beatiful.

I started to watch “The 4400” too (first season). I have nothing much to tell about it, it’s just a bit strange, but I was prepared since this is the same guy who made X-Files AFAICR.

Next serie I’ll watch will probably be “Dead Like Me”.

It’s a really good thing to get some free time.

The books I’ve ordered from Amazon just arrived (at least, part of them).

I already said I’ve eagerly read the first book of H2G2. I then went to the book store to buy the second book, but unfortunately it was unavailable. I was unable to find it anywhere, so I decided to read “Dune: House Atreides” which I bought three years ago when I went to New York. I have been very lazy since then, not reading much (not talking about Computers books) and avoiding non-FR books. This one was the original text (english). I finished reading it while I was in Egypt, feeling bad because it’s part one of the Dune Prequel (House Atreides / House Harkonnen / House Corrino) and that I had nothing to read anymore.

So I finally looked at amazon.fr and fnac.com to find these books I missed (H2G2 book 2, Dune Prequel : books 2 and 3). Surprisingly, I found them all available (some of them within 4-9 days), and even ordered ChapterHouse Dune and Dune Legends.

I found “Dune: House Atreides” to be a very good book, I hope I’ll say the same about these.

I already found there was an official Dune website. It’s sad that they’re mixing Dune with non-Dune books there. “It’s all about the money”.

As some of you might already know, I’ve spent last two weeks in Sharm El Sheikh. I came back yesterday evening. The weather is bad again, like it was when I left.

Diving was huge. I can’t find any word to describe it. My skin is burnt, but that’s not so bad. The food was the only thing I missed (actually, thinking it’s in the desert, that’s not that bad too).

I still have no answer from Google, still, I’m planning to go back to Ireland, just because it’s not really expensive and because I like Dublin
