Short article on JustOneMorething.com in SVM Mac, the best French magazine about Macs. Merci Hervé pour le scan !

The excellent Cult Of Mac Blog, published by Wired, mentions JustOneMoreThing.com!

Sold my PowerBook to a drummer who played with Diane Dufresne. I’ll try to push the limits and sell the next one (a cute 12-inch currently in a plane from Taiwan) to Céline Dion.

Since last week, I play in a band! With guys from Andromed, the company I’m leaving. We spent 2 years together without knowing we were musicians, played different instruments, and had the same tastes. It’s not a legend that engineers are really bad at communication…

An ex-colleague of mine is playing drums in a cool band. Check it out, the MP3s are promising: destroy all dreamers

Got a new job… Andromed has been by far the coolest company I’ve worked for, they have invented the electronic stethoscope and some other revolutionary medical technology will come on the market, but it’s a hardware-oriented and DSP-oriented company, and I’m not too good at that. I’ll work on entity extraction, categorization and classification at Convera. Java and regex. The CIA uses Convera’s search engine.

Pffew! Successfully replaced the battery inside my faithful PC88 keyboard! Found the instructions on a newsgroup. The guy was not sure if it was a CR2032 battery, I can confirm it was. I can also confirm there were a lot of screws…

Maybe some people will see some shapes in this picture, just like stars in the sky. Am I a poet or what? They kind of look like bees too.

What’s the link between ABC, IBM, UPS, and NeXT ?

It’s the same person who designed their logo : Paul Rand.

I don’t like very much the green he uses, but Steve Jobs gave him a hug.

Tonight was Cindy’s birthday party. People had to leave their shoes outside. Next time, I should ask the neighbor if he wouldn’t mind hiding all of them in his condo… Or rather all of them but the ungliest pairs. Should be fun…

I strategically placed my CDs around the stereo (for some reason, we don’t use an iPod linked to the receiver yet), and it worked. They played a Supertramp CD, and not Cindy’s stuff… Though after 10 or 11 tunes, Supertramp was accused not to be modern, and then they switched to some Hong Kong music. Faye Something. Which led us to the always embarassing karaoke session… At least in winter, the windows are not opened, and we don’t get clappings from the street, like last summer…

Got my citizenship today. We were 56 people, from 32 countries. Not much change for me. I’ll be able to vote and to have a passport, which is useful to go to the US – they take less time to check than if you’re French. So I now have 2 nationalities. I wonder what is the maximum nationalities a person can get in a lifetime.

J’avais passé de longues heures à pratiquer ce jeu de rôle. Le web n’existait pas à l’époque. Ca fait drôle de reprendre contact avec ce jeu via le web.

Oh, I forgot to tell you… To join orkut, you need a photo with very precise specifications, otherwise they won’t accept you. So please don’t ask me to invite you if you don’t have your photo ready yet. Thanks.

Now seriously, is it Allan or Hans who had the idea?…
