Yesterday we went to see Bolt at Imagibraine. And in 3D ! - Jean-François Declercq
"L'utilisation de logicels libres permet de réaliser des économies spectaculaires, sans sacrifier la qualité. Ainsi, un ordinateur fixe (tour) peut vous être proposé à partir de 239 euros, un ultra-portable à 269 euros, et un portable classique à partir de 449 euros."

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:

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
life is a journey
than let it go, try to keep smiling
put yourself in the sun behind the window
step back and look at your colleagues
are they happy ?
are they "aware" ?
you are "aware" that this is just an illusion
working can't be so serious
help them to release a bit of their stress and fears
and you will have achieved something good today
you know you can because you are stronger than them
just show them the way
be good and the day will be easier
and we will find a way for our future
don't worry
you ain't seen nothing yet

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...
