 A l'Ecailler du Palais Royal, on boit au bar du champagne comme on boit ailleurs un café sur le zinc puis on passe à table pour du poisson et des crustacés les langoustes sont exposées le saumon est découpé les homards sont préparés comme si la mer était sur la place du sablon A l'Ecailler du Palais Royal, Les clients ne parlent pas de la crise il préferent parler de leurs vacances en Afrique du sud ou de leur investissements dans l'immobilier A l'Ecailler du Palais Royal le service est impeccable les garcons se pressent à satisfaire au plus vite avec le sourire les palais des clients qui n'ont pas l'habitude d'attendre leur poisson L'Ecailler du Palais Royal   Ce weekend, fur varié : 60 Km de vélo (40 samedi et 20 dimanche), un très bon diner à l' Ecailler du Palais Royal, un demi-pecha kucha, deux films à la TV et du shopping bien sur... Ce soir sera cool dans mon bain - probablement.   I was reading the Entreprise Architecture message board on Linked In when I bounced again on this definition of an Architect by Vitruvius: "The ideal architect should be a person of letters, a mathematician, familiar with historical studies, a diligent student of philosophy, acquainted with music, not ignorant of medicine, learned in the responses of jurisconsults, familiar with astronomy and astronomical calculations."?Vitruvius, circa 25 BC See the part on the education of the architect here: http://www.lih.gre.ac.uk/histhe/vitruvius.htm  peaceride is following me on Twitter. I don't know him but his website is a cool thing : The Colorado Peace Ride. I like the concept : "For avid cyclists and weekend enthusiasts, alike ? or simply for volunteers who want to make a difference in the world ? the Colorado Peace Ride provides an opportunity for all of us to contribute to world peace." Maybe something for the future. One of my dreams being to go around the world with my bicycle - planned in 2020 :-)  Another boring meeting
Yesterday I had an IBM course where we did a "lobby" session. The goal was to be able to get in contact with the key people of the project during a drink. This reminded me an article I have read on the Art of Schmoozing. The art of schmoozing consists of establishing a relationship before you need it...

Pas le temps de blogger. Il y a pourtant plusieurs sujets que je voudrais documenter : ORM, Salon des vacances, ILOG... Sur 20 services web2.0 que j'utilise, je me demande combien vont survivre...Cfr http://www.jfdeclercq.com/index.php?pagename=SocialNetworks
Last monday I was in Lagaude (near Nice, France) for a visit of the IBM SOA Center of Excellence. It was very interesting. It's also a very nice environment. The goal was to brief one of our customers on several SOA and Industry Solutions. At the end of the day, we also visited the Industry Solution Center which brings deep dive into most relevant business issues through scenario based demonstrations. For example, solutions in the Consumer Products Center are presented using a scenario which is customised for you. There is a Consumer Home, Retail Store, Manufacturer/ Retail DC and HQ Office so that solutions can be seen in their proper context.  You can have an overview of Lagaude it here : http://www-05.ibm.com/fr/ibmforum/lagaude/overview.html And with each other ! It will be on Feb 28th 2009 in Overijse.  Recently I blogged about FeedJournal and Tabloid to make your own newspaper in PDF. The Printed Blog is the same but with articles selected by the website users. So you can get daily a PDF of the artciles people found the most interesting. See more here :
I had to re-upload the mp3s of "La légende dorée de St Georges". They had disappeared. I had the pleasure to see they now have nice widgets like this one :
Last week I attended a very interesting BPM seminar provided by Denali, a Belgian BPM software company. For me it's clear there are interesting possible synergies between the processes that Denali can model and document with FlexoBPM and the processes IBM can run and monitor with Webshpere Process Server. It's also interesting to see that both Denali and IBM will be at Gartner's Business Process Management Summit , on Feb 23-25, 2009.
