... since I last posted. And we got quite some changes around here.

First, on the real life side, I got married almost 2 months ago.
I met my wife in Japan, and guess what ? she's japanese. Her name is Miki (美希), and she is the most wonderful woman I've ever met. She's been learning french for a month now, and she often surprises me with all she already can say in french.

We are now living together in Colombes, not very far from Paris, and I'm still working for British Telecom in La Défense as an application server expert engineer (buzzwords detected). Finding a flat has been quite a challenge, considering how real estates are expecting you to have a stable and huge income, meaning it's quite hard to get something during your "trial period", which, when you start working as an engineer in France, lasts 3 months (and can even be reconducted for 3 more months). In fact, we got the flat a few days before the end of my trial period because it was almost done ; and actually moved in after it being theorically done. Theorically, because it has been reconducted, but the real estates didn't have to know ;). Anyways, now, it is finally over.

I've been offline quite a lot these last months, because of 1. being stuck in a place without net access (which appeared to be wrong, there was an open WiFi access point with ADSL access in the neighbourhood, but I got my laptop back quite late to figure out), and 2. because of Wanadoo (my ADSL provider) and France Telecom being lame and taking a month to configure an ADSL line... and making me pay for it while not having any access, but this story is not over yet...

Anyways, glandium.org has been migrated to my 3 years-old Vaio laptop behind this ADSL connection, and the site has switched today to a mix between the "old" RDF driven site and a WordPress powered blog. I'm hoping to have my own tool some day, but in the meanwhile, I chose to use WordPress. I gave a try to Dotclear, but support for multiple categories is lame, category hierarchy, not supported, and english support has to be done by hand by creating a custom theme.

I created a lame theme which tries to look like what it used to be with the old RDF driven site (WordPress theming just sucks. Truth is Dotclear is not much better). I must say i didn't put much effort in the comments stylesheet (actually, no effort at all).

So here is an almost new glandium.org site, which, I hope, will improve in the future (but Miki won't like it if I spend too much time on it, so it will take time).

On the Debian side, I managed to upload Firefox Deer Park alpha 2 into experimental a while ago, plus some other updates to my packages in unstable. Some more will be coming soonish (same as above, it might take more time than expected ;) ).
