Last year I decided to work less and profit from life more. I reduced my time to 90% but worked that 90% over 4 days instead of five. It was a good arrangement because my wife, who works at 90% anyway, synchronized her working week with mine and we shared long weekends for most of [...]

I’m testing a new plugin this morning from AdaptiveBlue called Smartlinks. I’m afraid that if it slows down the page load I might swiftly take it off but the idea as seen in the video found on site might make your reading more interesting. The idea is that it expands the links I make (probably [...]

A good friend has played a practical joke on me today and sent me to this page where “I” have become front page news.
There is a video. Even if it’s in french I’m sure you understand the gist of it! Makes me smile a lot! Unfortunately, and I did try, I can’t embed it although [...]

Professionally the move means me splitting my time between two offices and some overtime to compensate. All my professional activities are in flux and I will have to adhere to new objectives.
I have been asked to step up as National IT Director of an Association that I am [...]

Self explanatory really. I’ve wanted one for quite a while and things fell into place the other day. I’m very happy with it!
Actually it’s my second Mac as I had a second hand Mac many years ago and even paid serious money to upgrade the memory to 1Mb … I then bought an [...]

After a fresh start (5°C) to the day the temperature rose to 16 in the shade today and we couldn’t resist taking our dinner out on the terrace. I don’t think we will take the chairs out of the garden shed just yet but it was all the same a blissful moment and a reminder [...]

I can’t remember when I started using it as my home page but it is probably about a year now. I love how it pops up as my home page identically whatever the browser and whatever computer I am using. It is configurable in many languages and has more feeds and widgets than you will ever [...]
