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” [...]

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 [...]

Friday evening I left Paris (Beauvais actually) airport on a Ryanair flight to come to Dublin (Ireland) to visit a friend of mine. That was the first time I came to Ireland. Yesterday we did the tour of Dublin (Pubs, Temple Bar, Pedestrian Center) and left to walk on the beach in Killiney near Bono’s [...]

Since H2G2 was announced to be out this wednesday, I decided last Saturday to buy Douglas Adams’ HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book, to read it before seeing the movie.

I read it in two days (I usually don’t read much books, but I can’t help stopping reading them until the end). It’s a very fun [...]

Nanoblogger was a nice blog, but Typo is even better.

Yes it runs ruby (and God knows I hate ruby), yes I had difficulties with the version in the FreeBSD Ports Tree and even latest version in the trunk, but revision 434 went just fine.

I tried dashblog to publish a new post but it didn’t [...]

I just seen my final grades, and it seems my internship report and presentation were quite good (resp. 15.7 and 16). That means school is definitely over, which is good news :-).

Talking with grog on IRC about Google Maps, he gave this very nice url with special locations (Cities, FreeBSD Committers, FTP Servers, ...). I tried to find (again) where I was, and finally found it ! I’m here. While I was at it, I updated my coordinates in ports/xearth/files/freebsd.committers.markers.

I’m now 23. Yeah, nothing to get excited about but I’m not writing a lot these days, so that’s a good opportunity.

Four days left before my final exam. I still need to finish my presentation and repeat what I’m supposed to present. Well, I’m quite happy seeing the end coming.

It’s been 1 week now, but I’m back from my trip to USA.

I’ve bought a Canon Digital SLR camera just before, I wanted a nice camera for a long time and that was a good opportunity. I’ve seen lots of wonderful landscape and things. It was really cool and I’ll post a link of pictures [...]

Last week end I went to the travel agency to book my next holidays. Well it’ll cost more than what I first expected but that’s going to be a really good time (sun, scuba-diving and alcohol, since we’re in all-inclusive). Forgot to mention, I’ll be in Charm El-Sheikh for two weeks starting on 27/9/05 o/.
