C’est déjà la fin de l’été pour moi, mais surtout le début d’une nouvelle aventure.
Désormais, ce blog va prendre tout son sens et ses posts seront plus sérieux (ou pas), plus développés aussi, et surtout, grande nouvelle pour vous, TOUS en français !

Cet été était placé sur le signe de la séparation, des retrouvailles puis à nouveau séparation. J’ai quitté mes amis de l’INT et de prépa, je les ai revu en Juillet le temps d’un week-end, j’ai retrouvé ceux du lycée le temps d’un voyage en Corse (dont je garde pleins de bons souvenirs) et en Août j’en ai revu d’autres, mais maintenant c’est de ma famille que je me sépare. Je suis sûr que je n’arriverais pas à me retenir de verser des larmes pour le départ :’(

Ainsi, je pars avec une certaine inquiétude, la peur surtout de ne pas pouvoir faire face à l’inconnu et la solitude, mais j’ai la ferme intention de ne revenir de toute façon qu’une fois cette peur vaincue, et mes objectifs personnels atteints. J’ai encore le temps d’y réfléchir, rendez-vous dans 4 mois pour savoir comment j’aurai évolué
Bref, tout ça pour dire que j’ai en main mon destin, plus question de fuir désormais. Comme beaucoup d’entre vous me le disent, c’est une formidable opportunité qui m’est offerte, et je dois en profiter à fond !

Ne vous inquiétez pas, je suivrai votre conseil à la lettre ^^

Merci à tous ceux qui ont animé mon été, vous vous reconnaîtrez sûrement A bientôt pour la suite de mes aventures !

Yesterday I went to Sanary to see my friend Alexandra. By the way, I was also glad to meet her sister and her mother.

We went to the beach, but the Mistral blew at 90km/h, so it was really windy !
Although the sea was very agitated, we took a bath, and enjoyed the strong waves that stroke us and made us move like a bottle inside a stormy sea, carrying us back to the shore. Hopefully, the water temperature was very pleasant, and when we left the sea for the beach, we were frozen by the wind lol !

Anyway, I was happy to talk of various topics with you Alexandra, and I hope to see you soon again !
And don’t worry, you will get news from me even when I will be some thousands kilometers away on the other side of the earth ^^

PS: I thought Hercules Poirot was an old and boring tv series, I was plain wrong, I might start watching it now

Yeah, this trip to Corsica (also called Ile de beauté) was really great ! During this short week, I have seen not only seen friends from highschool that I got no news for three years, but I have also been doing many funny activities: beach, river, tourism, concert, nightclub, bar … I enjoyed Corsica a lot, I hope to come back there to stay longer and see more things, it is really worth it !

I won’t give all the details here (somethings I have done are not to be read by some people: don’t want to scare them lol), but I will leave you with some photos of landscape.

So, thank you Ghislain, Matthieu and Guillaume for the first part of this trip, I hope to see you soon again, around a table, to drink again Dami ^^. Thank you also to Jean-Marie and his family for the second part of the trip.

A tiny post just to say I am glad that the site reached the 10 000 guests gap in one month exactly !

Back to the topic, I currently can’t keep dreaming about one person (it can’t be helped, I miss her) and also about one city…
Since only one of these dreams can be fullfilled, I keep teasing me all the day by watching photos and videos about the city. Let me share with you another splendid sight !

Today’s news, some of them are important, some other are totally meaningless, some of them might change the future forever (or at least for the next five years ) !

• 1) I got a new haircut, to change my look (do not tell me nobody cares, I already know lol ….)
• 2) A new revision of the RSS 2.0 Bittorrent Feed White Paper will be on work in one week, I am glad to see this document has launched discussions and is interesting people
• 3) Torrent Trader Lite v2.0.1 is in beta test, it will be released next week. I have fixed some bugs I noticed, and implanted the rss 2.0 update following the recommandations I wrote
• 4) Vbulletin Torrent Tracker 3.0 is under heavy work, estimated ETA is around 20 August. You can get a look at latest screenshots of the work in progress here
• 5) AMD bought ATI today, for 5,4 billion dollars. This, for sure, will change the landscape in the computer world. When two giants start working together (for the good, and THE BAD), what can we expect ? Wait and see …
• 6) I have received today my VISA for Hong-Kong !!! I am now 1 month far from the HK adventure !
• 7) I am going in holidays for one week in Corsica. This was totally unforecasted, my best friends offered me to come, and I couldn’t say no ^^. So, I will be back on 1st August ! Good week all

Today I have received my pre-arrival information from the Chinese University of Hong-Kong and also a guide to thrive and survive at Hong-Kong (welcome to the urban jungle !!!!)

Still one month and one week before I can see this splendid sight with my own eyes.
I am really eager to go !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yattah !

Today I finished a custom job someone requested me to do: it is a modified version of a Movies Listing script, which retrieves all informations directly from the IMDB database.

I have added to it more features, like NFO upload, nfo2png conversion, more criterias for categorizing …

Here are some screenshots of the result

Just to let you know I have opened the Technical Articles section of the site, with a tutorial on how to deal with Ampersands problems within Javascript code in a XHTML page.

This week-end I took some rest at Villard de Lans, a small village with 4000 inhabitants, located in Isere, 30 km far from Grenoble. I am used to this place, since it’s now about 6 years I go there everytime I have some free time. I really enjoy the fact that it gathers in the same place an ice-skating ring, three swimming-pools, some tennis courts, a bowling. It is also a central place for people who love walking (just like me ^^), and it offers a great skiing domain. To sum up, Villard de Lans is a place where you can do almost any sportive activity you want, and is less hype than stations like Megève (where I used to go when I was a child), Avoriaz …

So, how did I enjoy my week-end, and how did I spend my time ? Every morning, I went to the swimming pool and stayed there swimming during 2 hours. Then I did some shopping (just looked, bought nothing) in the village. The afternoon, after reading something while sun-tanning on the balcony of the apartment, I went for a walk. And when it became late, around 7 pm, I just got enough time to come back before summer storms broke up, and I avoided rain. And the night ? Sleeping ! Because I am not used to do so much sportive activities in my everyday’s life, and I was really exhausted by the end of the day lol.

I have attached some photos from the walk I made on Saturday, enjoy the sight !

It’s now over, and I can give a shot on my impressions: first, I think it was really a huge expo, maybe the biggest one in France, with thousands of visitors and hundreds of stands. All japanase comics editors were present, also DVD editors, but the most interessant aspect (according to me) was the presence of many fanzines writers and also many cultural stands, showing demonstrations of japanese traditions.
