I wrote my first line of code almost 25 years ago and I started working almost 11 years ago. You know what ? I feel tired. I'd really love to take a break and do something else, something totally different like archeology or writing a book. I'd love to leave the Paris' district and move to another place, for instance in the South (where good food, good wines, mountains, sea and cheaper prices make alltogether a remarkable quality of life).
But where in the South ? The French Riviera is super-mega-crowded and I don't really like the people there. It's also, with the high speed train, far too close from Paris (only 2h30). The Atlantic Coast is definitely a better choice but what could be my occupation there ? That part of the country is alive only in july/august and sleeping the rest of the year. Bah.
Vidur was here last monday ; took a few drinks with him and the rest of the french team at the bar next door.
Got an AIM chat from Marc Attinasi. He's back at Intuit since a few months. We clearly miss him at Netscape.

That's awesome ! We have been believing for months that mangelo is the worst writer about Mozilla. DONG ! We found worse... A teen-ager writing so big bullshits that it becomes funny.

In the Bush's Blunders series, the last one made us laugh a lot... Quote from the International Herald Tribune :
WORD FOR IT: Making the London rounds is the anecdote of a bemused Tony Blair hearing George W. Bush's simple explanation for France's economic decline. In this account of an aside at a recent summit, Bush told Blair that "the French trouble is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."
Of course, "entrepreneur" is a french word. The Bush trouble is that he has just no education.
