So, how about posting some news about what’s new on my home page? Let’s do it!
Here’s the description of today (yesterday)’s bicycle trip: Luxembourg – Schengen – Rodemack.
About 80 km long, this bicycle trip brings you from Luxembourg City to the well known village of Schengen along the SaarLorLux veloroute, then comes a very quick trip in Germany before heading into France along the Moselle River.
Some pictures can be found on this gallery page.

Fireworks in Luxembourg on June 22nd-23rd, 2006:
Some parts have been randomly captured, unfortunately both the final shot and the best parts miss on the movie. It’s my fault, but it’s difficult to film and watch while holding a simple digital camera in hands with 512 MB of storage.
Yet another stupid remix I made… from Bugs Bunny 🙂
You can download the mp3 file here
Are you bored today?
If so, I have found an original game for you: http://web.okaygo.co.uk/apps/letters/flashcom/index.htm.
Disclaimer: I will deny any responsibility if you are fired for playing this game at work 😀
Who let the cows out? 😀
Listen to my last remix since… err… I can’t remember, let’s say a while ago.
The mp3 file is available here.
Hope you won’t be shocked 😛

“Darling, could you check what’s going on with the TV receiver?
– No more TV!
– Since we have paid for a premium ZZTV subscription, we can watch it over the Internet!
– Internet is down!
– Maybe the server is down?
– In that case, I’d suggest to go to another restaurant!
– Dammit, let’s call the hell desk! Something must be wrong with our settings…
– No phone connection!
– Wireless call?
– No network…
Oh sorry, in fact this post isn’t about Family Guy 🙂
This F– story is about a reality, though a bit exaggerated, about a growing disease in Information Technology… This is déjà-vu about ten times during this month.
Not later than midday today, they announced some risks of thunderstorm during the afternoon. As a result, the phone connection and Internet went down in the next following 5 minutes.
Yesterday, there was another similar story with one of my client’s servers, hosted in a dirty-center whose habit is frequent power failures; what a pleasant sunday morning, being woken up on the phone, while being gone for the week-end abroad…
Last week, I experienced some interesting issues with my personal server hosting company whose network has been down for eight hours.
What if someone had call an emergency number? According to their contract, they are not liable for any consequence of downtime. How about ethics? Would this work in the US?
In the past, I used to have multiple Internet connection, thus I spent about a monthly invoice not far from a Portuguese salary, just for my personal internet connectivity. Of course, despite of all these securities, outages from both providers at the same time happened, which used totally different networks and physical supports… Whose leg are they pulling?
Passé le 18 février sur France Inter dans CO2 mon amour, écouté en ce moment, merci les Podcasts:
“Le premier canard suspecté d’être truffé au H5N1 se trouve sur la commune de?
JOYEUX!!!
Même dans un scénario de video gag on ne pouvait pas l’inventer…”
I have the feeling that many people worry about avian flu spread over Europe on wild birds. People stopped buying chicken (veggie rox!); these animals are now in-jailed… (this is what we hear on the news)
What they never tell us something scarier – though I do not know if this is fiction, speculation, nightmare, or whatever – what would happen if, for example, a pigeon in a city like Venice is H5N1 positive?
It’s 5:00AM; why an I typing this instead of sleeping?
I wanted to figure out how cookies work, so I made a Web site pertaining to the telecom industry where people can register and shout, scream, cry and complain about operators. But they can also share their positive experiences.
The concept of this site is not to mention companies name when submitting an experience. If the company name is provided, I’ll keep it for myself and will maybe laugh one day when so many people are complaining about the same operator 🙂
The beta version is in place: some (important) features (profile edit, comments, ratings, contact between users, statistics, search) are still missing and I expect some bugs as I did all the back end today. The features will come slowly, so please be patient. It includes a tiny CMS I wrote for the occasion, using the Smarty (yumm, chocolate!) classes.
The site is www.czll.com, czll is a typo defining a broken call…
Do not hesitate to try it and report bugs!
Yeah, this is a come back in the telecommunication politics after many years in the darkness!
