The musicians below the window (tonight was the Music’s Day here) made something I thought would be impossible: putting arabic sounds in a corsican song. It was just wonderful.

Oh, by the way. New screaming design. Just to appeal.

You’d think a company who knows nearly all sites hosted on the servers the company sold them, can be hacked by any John Doe around, would stay a bit quiet about it and do some mass-mailing to their customers (ok, 6 millions e-mails, count 3 millions replies, and that’s a bit heavy on the servers, but who cares ?). Nah, MicroSoft screams “hi we sold you crap, please download some toilet paper patch for it !” and in the next days I know some peeps who’ll playfully navigate inside dotcoms’ filesystems.
Bunch o’ cretins in Redmond.
Gotta love this extract: an insurance firm that protects companies against hacker damage recently decided to boost premiums for customers who use Microsoft’s Windows NT software.

I forgot the merits of a good old nap. Went to take a short nap yesterday at around 20:30 and woke up at 6 in the morning, complete with clothes and contact lenses still on. Hadn’t it been for a quick shower and new clothes, I was ready to get back to work.

Listening to Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata while MySQL is crashing, so beautifully.

I’m off to murder someone. His phone must have a thousand ringtones, and he’s been testing them one by one slowly, patiently, sadistically, for the last 5 minutes. He won’t live enough to regret he was a moron.

At lunch time I heard screamings in the hall, and the word “shotgun” popped in.

So many clients, so little knowledge: The client did it.

Is Microsoft secretly using open source ?
Shame on them for saying “open source sucks” and using it at the same time.

Crois-tu ignorer les techniques de kata ?
L’?cole de Mars sur l’?poque est avanc?e.
Tire parti des gestes que tu calquas
Sur nos pens?es. Quand tu allais on revenais.

On ICQ:
117508713: (9:45 PM) hey, Would you want to be michel@getlaid.net? Get a free email address and homepage at http://personals.getlaid.net Because you don’t want to make friends, you want to Get Laid.. for free!

Sure. If I had less than half-a-brain and no life, I would love to. Which isn’t the case.

Rate My Feet dot com featured in a swedish search engine’s results. Wow, maybe I should go back to working a bit on this page.

Fine Cat person Frykitty likes my music, heh. For those of you who wonder what the hell buddhist temple it is, the song is named Zen Gun, it’s on Ryuichi Sakamoto’s 1986′ album Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia.

Just woke up. Opened the living room’s door (my apart is just a big living room with a kitchen in the corner, a bedroom, a little bathroom, and a huge 9m? unuseful hall), and looked at the floor. Big brown traces. Thought “damn what have the cats done with their shit again ?”. Saw feathers. Saw a dead little bird lying in the kitchen corner. Looked back at the brown traces: blood. So my cats have finaly caught a bird: I am so proud of them, on the other hand I’m so annoyed because I cleaned the room yesterday and I got to do it again now.

I got to join the 24-Hour BLOGATHON !
And you got to join it too !

What’s worse, the sound of the organ or the drunkards at the bar below the window ?

The sand, the sea, the musicians, the drunk girls dancing, the buddy whose words you hardly hear because of the music, the drinks, the trees above the bar, the fresh air.

A night on the beach.

Been working on b2, a bunch of little things have been completed and the product is now “bearable”.
There might be a first 0.1 release by the end of this week.

And I just thought about something that’d be mad cool: a script to export your existing Blogger blog to a b2 blog. It would just need changing some settings in Blogger, then changing the template and hitting the publish button, and running the export script, and there, tada! all the posts would be in your MySQL database, waiting for b2 to publish them.
(You’d still have to set up the details of your team though.)

Now what a rip-off of SitePoint‘s design !
(is that the spirit of a self-called webdesign company ? are they offering that kind of copy service to their clients ?)

My webcam is acting freaky these days. Did I mention that ?

Uh.
