entry Nouveaux hasards [fr]

Rien de tel que de descendre St-Urbain vers la Place des Arts et arriver côte à côte avec la 2.5 RS d'un pote. Une rencontre fortuite comme celle-là, c'est du bonheur lancé en pleine face. Une soupe tonkinoise avec Tom et Lino et la journée ne peut que bien aller.

Vive les travailleurs autonomes!

Tu rêves de jouer à l'avant et on te fout dans les buts. -- Daniel, Taxi 1

Un peu pessimiste comme réflexion, mais quand même sympatique.

entry Hands on LaTeX

I should have done this years ago. So much time waste looking for the perfect tool. So much time waste using those tools. So much money waste on those tools! From now on I'm sticking to LaTeX! (with emacs, obviously ;)

entry Bitch In The Tunnel

I've been working for this company for more than a year. I've resigned and I'm quitting today. My new free-lancer life is waiting for me.

Over the hundreds of so-called programmers working here, I might have been the only one bypassing the firewall, except for the sysadmins actually responsible of the firewall; can't stay away from my Linux server.

So while IRC and IM were strictly forbidden, I was tunnelling my ssh connection up to my server and doing my "necessary" work; tailing my log files, reading #joitto (vive BitchX!), chatting with my buddies (you get use to centericq's commands and almost prefer it to graphical clients such as the excellent proteus) ..

Finally leaving .. finally the chance to work with geeks .. finally finding back my motivation.

<deep breath>
