• Unpacking
• Fri. Sep, 30 2005

After some days of cleaning in Malmö, a very nice travel on Air France business class between Copenhagen and Paris, I am finally at my parents' place. It is now time to unpack all the stuff I brought back. Not really much more than what I brought from France to Sweden but it is never easy to deal with 120 kilograms of clothes, papers, computer and other interesting things. So, now, for the last 3 days, I didn't do anything but unpacking, sorting out, trashing... Quite interesting! Fortunate... [Read]

• Leaving Sweden
• Tue. Sep, 27 2005

Here it is... These 25 months in Malmö are now over. 25 months of fun, discovering new people, try to understand Swedes and their way of life (and realise how French I was and I am still...) or cooking every week-ends for the biggest pleasure of the guests...
Impossible to forget all the guys (and girls) there and all the time we spent together, trying fixing bugs, calm down ourselves after a gentle visit by the customer (as gentle as they could be...), playing/watching/talking about rugby... [Read]

• Last day
• Fri. Sep, 23^rd 2005

So today is my last day at work, here, in Sweden...
Actually, it was not even a complete day but the half. For, thanks to the remaining holidays and the night of work on Tuesday, I could "only" work half a day today. Not even a day and, I have to admit, not even work. It was more a matter of cleaning the place and prepare the legacy. It was also an opportunity to say good bye to everybody, even if more things than planned needed to be achieved. As a matter of fact, I left work the last at 7pm. ... [Read]

• Two weeks to go
• Tue. Sep, 13 2005

Long time since the last time I have been at home before 8pm. I can't even remember that. But that was a busy day (at least not by the time spent at work: "only" 11h compared to the 15 I got used to stay these last weeks), especially because it was the day after a very physical training... So, on one hand, I didn't stay too long but I have been in a very productive documentation writting (I couldn't move anywhere from my desk...).
But I am not here to speak about the job... In fact, on my way b... [Read]

• Paris by night
• Wed. Aug, 31^st 2005

As we enjoyed the night before, Ayako, Naoko and I decided to meet again in order to go somewhere in Paris and make them discover Paris from inside with a local (or at least an ex-local). So, as I was having a dinner with all the family (we aren't all together that often), I arranged to meet them around 11pm at their hotel.
As soon as I arrived (and despite a little delay thanks to Naoko ;) ), we headed to Notre Dame in order to initialise our promenade that should bring us to the feet of the E... [Read]

• Future work? And after-work
• Tue. Aug, 30 2005

The 30^th of August was one of the reasons why I came back to France. Not because it was my sister's birthday (not only at least) but also because I have an interview for a French company. So, in order to take advantage of my stay in Paris, I quickly decided that this date would also be a nice opportunity to see all the friends who are living around or in Paris. What I didn't know at that time is that day would also be synonymous of meeting Ayako (and her friend Naoko) 6 months since t... [Read]

• Busy busy
• Fri. Aug, 26 2005

As expected, this week has been really busy. When I wasn't at work (during shortened day in order to take care of my sister left alone at home), I was at the festival... until quite late at night...
So, now, I am totally exhausted but that definitely was worth it. This new festival has been really nice even if, finally, we didn't go to all places but Mölleplatsen or Panora tent... So, I would say that maybe the festival was less spread throughout the city like last year, but it remains rea... [Read]

• Malmö festival, here we are!
• Fri. Aug, 19 2005

So, it is finally today that the Malmö festival starts. Actually, right now, it hasn't started yet. But that shouldn't wait for too long. So, I'll pick up my sister at the airport, put everything home, prepare some food for everybody and, as soon as they'll be back from work, we'll be able to have dinner and then, reach Mölleplatsen for a good night of concert. The good news is: first, I'll leave work earlier today and second, my place is 10 minutes away from all the concerts... What a... [Read]

• Allez les Bleus
• Wed. Aug, 17 2005

Of course, it will only be a friendly match. Of course, Zidane is back and of course, the opponent is Cote d'Ivoire, not Brazil or Italia. Whatever, I really hope that this match will be a good opportunity to see a good French team, playing forward, multiplying the opportunities and, at the end, showing its best side. Then, we'll see against Switzerland and Ireland...
However, I keep on wondering what the come back of some glorious players will result in... The good thing is that Domenech seems... [Read]

• Big issue? -Part 2-
• Mon. Aug, 15 2005

So, (early) this morning, I had my "international conference call". The first one ever for a position in Japan. I think it went quite well.
The guy I talked with was very nice and, even if we kept focused on work (the price for a minute prevented from talking about anything else), that was truly interesting. It seems that my profile maybe matches their expectations. So, I will certainly step forward to the next level. I hope it will be successful also. So, I am really forward to spending one mo...
