Yes, I’m shamelessly and hypocritically using The Holidays®©TM as an excuse to stop publication for a while, probably for 2 or 3 weeks, while my batteries recharge. Because the past couple of months have been intense and we’re, er, a little, well, check it out.

A List
Pamela tells me lists sell. On blogs, there’s pretty much nothing more popular than posts that list things she tells me, and she should know, now that she’s gone pro. Things, things to do, things to avoid, as long as they’re in list form. So, in a crass attempt at driving up traffic in these…
WBMFM
I translate software programs, and the associated help files and manuals, for a living. Most of these programs (and manuals) are American and I translate them into French. And they are not obscure little programs. No. They are created by big international companies, like Microsomething, and HAL, etc. The best of them are not inspiring…
Pyramids
In the early nineties, in my late twenties, I worked for Symantec, a large American software company (of Norton fame). It was only my second serious job, so I was still very wet behind the ears. One day, we got an email from the big boss, explaining that we were entering some kind of shitstorm…
Remote Possibility: Your Condition

Spam, spam, spam, spam…
Read what frogblog had to say today on spam (the meat (by)product). Truly amazing. It turns out that our ISP, Free.fr, is tightening things up. They offer free hosting, with a lot of nice features, but have suddenly blocked outgoing port 80 calls from their servers (due to some kind of abuse related to people…
The Geeks In Love go to the Senate
I’ve been waiting for Pamela to do the heavy blogging about our election night for the Public Sénat TV station, live from the French Senate, lazy coward that I am. Backstage (see photos), things were a bit of a mess, what with technical problems, and a largely uneventful blogosphere and twittersphere (which we were there…
O
It took me such a long time to come to terms with the demise of the USA. I went through the usual stages of anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Acceptance that there was nothing left to expect or to hope for from an increasingly dumbed-down, obscurantist, fascist-leaning superpower, except possibly endless war to secure…
Big Day, Long Night
As you know by now if you follow the adventures of the Geeks In Love, Pamela and I will be blogging the election live on French TV for the Public Sénat cable station. In fact, according to the Parlons Blog page of the station, I’ll be « cartoon blogging on TV », whatever that means! I have…
