Coder Corner

Celui-ci est pour Lionel C: tu ne quitteras jamais Barcelone, ils ont des “miradors de luxe” pour t’empêcher de partir!

Ok, I gave up and joined Facebook. If I know you and we’re not connected yet, poke me!

(”Poke”? … sounds like BASIC. Oh dear I’m such a geek.)

Just found this interesting place in Barcelona… Dedicated to Benoît M. !

- Some restaurants in Napoli have very weird names. It means “Kill me tonight” in french.

- An old friend from school, Laurent Houdard, plays in a very cool band those days: Shine. Check it out!

- You can see me on the cover of “Espaces Naturels” issue 15, a french magazine about… nature. Yes I know, that’s the last place where you would expect a coder to appear. The world is a weird place, what can I say? They liked the Blue Lagoon picture and re-used it for their cover.

Don’t tell me it’s happening again. My website was down all day long. I just switched from one web hosting company to another, because the previous one had fucking lame miserable support and broken servers. I hope I didn’t go from Scylla to Charybdis here.

If you know a serious, rock-solid web hosting company, feel free to drop me a line about it.

Heard at my previous job:

- “What is the black thing in the fridge, in the tupperware? Wasn’t that Anders’ salad?

- Anders?! But he left before I joined! The salad has been in the company longer than me!!”

…

Babelfish sucks. It translated this simple sentence into exactly the opposite of what it meant.
