The art of fine cooking

Pro tip: when cooking an omelette, there has to be more eggs than other ingredients. Otherwise, the result —though yummy— might not be exactly what you expected.

2011, année funeste

2011-01-15T21:09:11+00:00

Lu sur le forum des éditions Delcourt : Question de Eric (posée le 10/01/2011, répondue le 12/01/2011) Bonjour et bonne année, Avez-vous des nouvelles sur les séries Histoire de Siloë et Hel ? Peut-on espérer la conclusion de la première série et la suite de la deuxième en cette année 2011 ? Merci de votre réponse.Delcourt vous répond Bonjour, je suis désolé de vous apprendre que je n’ai pas de news concernant une sortie cette année de ces séries. Sauf miracle, il n’y aura rien cette année. Désolé et bonne année quand même. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas l’Histoire de Siloë, c’est une bande dessinée de science-fiction prévue en trois tomes, magnifiquement dessinée par Servain sur un scénario du très grand Serge Letendre. Seuls les deux premiers tomes sont sortis, en 2000 et 2003.

Somewhat confusing lol

How is it that some people seem to add lol at the end of any sentence they produce using a keyboard? This is rather annoying.

Google wave discontinued

2010-08-05T07:56:21+00:00

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/update-on-google-wave.html Wave never had a chance because it was released way too early. When people got access to it it wasn’t half as exciting as the version shown in the video. And google never gave wave the promotion it deserved.

This week’s lesson: when you link to a site with glamorous / artistic nude photos, be sure to check their archives first, because there might be porn as well in it. And you dont want that on your personal website whose address is on your CV.

So you think you’re a creative person

2010-05-04T23:08:47+00:00

Yesterday I heard one of the most insightful comments about me, by someone who barely knows me: “So owning a Mac gives you the feeling of being someone creative, doesn’t it?” I’ve got to admit it does.

Now I am in love with Apple

So, in Switzerland with a broken laptop charger, without any proof of purchase or whatever, I could use my MacBook’s warranty and get a new charger for free. Try to use a worldwide warranty for a PC with no proof of purchase—you’re just screwed.

wave = goodness.

google wave est donc tout simplement ouf même si ce n’est qu’une bêta très limitée.
