If i tell you that i did not take the above picture but yet i’m on it.. would you guess where am I? Yep i’m the dude being loaded in the chopper after i crashed with my mountain bike last week end. Now i know why i pay taxes, emergency services are very efficient! My [...]

Home Sweet Home, originally uploaded by [Pierrot²]. Most of my facebook tweeps already knows that: i bought a house last december! After 4 month of work its now sufficiently renovated so i can live in. Since a couple weeks i’m enjoying having my life back (i’ve been at my parents for almost a year, comfortable [...]

on my bookshelf, originally uploaded by [Pierrot²]. For those interested, here’s a quick selection of readings. Can you guess what’s my job about with that? ^^ Learning Perl – “Making easy things easy and hard things possible”.

While i was in France recently my man Max had me trying his new toy. Definitely not for kids, this mini cross bike is awesomely fast with its 125cc 4 strokes engine! Perfect tool for unlimited fun in the back country :p Turn up the volume and remind me to add this gadget on my [...]

If you don’t know what Sensation White is: it’s a big (very big) dance party organized in the Amsterdam Arena (the stadium). When i say big it’s something like 60000 people (at 69 euros per tickets, do the maths yourself…). Only one dress code: all white! (hence the name, heh). I wasn’t there, but my [...]

I re-installed Hugin, an awesome (and free) panorama builder! I used this software for quite a long time (see my flickr) and i have to say it’s still my favorite. It automagicaly creates control points and merge the pics, all you need to do is to crop the ouput! Being in a photo mood these [...]

Just wanted to point some parking issues going on in this city:

Do you see anyone familiar on these posters? This is an ad campain put in place by the city of Amsterdam to attract international visitors for Queen’s day. These ads will be up everywhere in the city until the party and 160.000 postcards will be distributed in pubs and bars… the city expect to see [...]

Outre le fait que ce mec soit un genie de [...]

Bonjour, apres une longue pause j’ai decide de me remettre a bloguer (houra !). Pourquoi ? parce que j’aime ca tout simplement. Qu’est ce qui va changer ? outre le theme le contenu devrait changer lui aussi un peu. je vais toujours ecrire des articles ‘to feed the geek’ mais je vais aussi essayer de [...]
