No, I Didn’t Read Your Email or Twitter

Hey, guess who's back! After roughly 4 weeks offline I'm almost back to my computer. This has been a very enjoyable month: one week on the beach in the south of France with kids, ten days diving in Croatia with my wife, and visiting family in between. So, if you've sent me some mail, a Twitter message, or left a…

Massive Migration to WordPress

One of the sites I'm running is a long established community website with zillions of posts and bazillions of comments. The whole stuff is powered by a home made CMS written in Perl, something I did nearly 10 years ago and that is totally outdated today. For instance, there were no such things as "comment spam" back in that time,…

In case you'd like to know more about me, there's a pretty good interview of me over at Single Function. I say "pretty good" because I like how interviews there are done, mixing up personal aspects with more focused and technical ones. Go read!

Hamburger With Foie Gras

I feel totally ashamed for such a crime of Lèse majesté against the unmatched gastronomy of my country, but hey, it was funny and rather tasty: Hamburger Rossini, eaten at restaurant Le Floors, Paris (Google map)

My 6 year old son, Oscar, now knows about Santa Klaus. I wonder how long I should wait before I give him away the God thing, too.

Morning Energizing Routines

Why I get to my computer in the morning, especially if I'm a little tired, I like to spend the first minutes doing something that will, like, concentrate the Universe's energy in my body before I can get any work done. Or something like this :) Sometimes it's just listening quite loud to one particular song (lately it's been mostly…

Achievement of the week-end: finally did beat Slash in Guitar Hero 3 duel, Hard level. AH! :)

Back On The Saddle!

Hello my dear Readers, guess who's back? My holidays were pretty enjoyable. I spent a lot of time with my two kids, and had a very enjoyable week with my wife in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico where we had a taste of all the great stuff this country has to offer: white sand beaches, warm sea, fantastic scuba dives in…

Offline For a Month

Yeepee, it's that time again. During the whole month of July, I'll be mostly offline: sporadic infrequent internet access to check any urgent email, but probably no activity on this blog. That means no code update, no great stuff for WordPress, no support for my plugins. I'm on the beach with my kids :)

WordPress Powered Social Engineering

I'll be having a job interview in another company next week, so I'm googling a bit about the manager who will interview me…. Got some hits in Google… Has a website… Hey cool, it's a WordPress blog… Having a look at his wp-content/plugins directory… OK, he's using a plugin I wrote. Things looking fine so far :)
