Due to popular demand (in my head; let's be honest: no one cares), I've decided to revive this website and start posting semi-regularly. Why? Many reasons: Twitter has been taken over by an egocentric maniac. It was one of my haven, and it's not any more. So I put my account in sleep mode, so …

Crypto and kids
I was nerd-sniped (reference from xkcd) by a colleague who wanted to do a cryptographic game for his kids, for a birthday party. The idea was to have a device to allow the kids to encrypt / decrypt a message Principle It's using the Caesar cipher, which is a simple shift cipher. It's super unsafe …
A nice plane story
Yesterday (2018-12-02), I was on business trip to NYC, with Swiss (LX19). Due to late booking, I was in coach but managed to spend a whooping 50k Miles to get an upgrade into business (well worth it). I tend to prefer travelling light. This time, travelling light meant I was already carrying my phone, my …
Slick new design
My webpage got (once again) migrated. It is now hosted on wordpress.com, with supposedly the old content transfered. It's still a bit new and fresh, so I'm expecting some problems (feel free to report as comments to this post.), but so far, I'm pretty happy with the situation. I'm using the personal plan (4EUR/month), with …
I’m angry (again)
It's been quite a bit of time since I've posted here, so quick update on what's happening. It's mothers' day soon (it happens that this day is not the same depending on the country, so i'm hoping to be spammed twice as much) and I got spammed to "think about my mother and get her …
End of march check – goals 2017
I had some goals / hopes for 2017, It's currently end of 1st quarter and a good time to look back on how I'm faring. Posting technical stuff on blog : mostly on track. Nothing in March (I've been travelling) but lots in January and February Posting non-technical stuff: a few posts, not that many. …
joinindaily
I've been following the #joinindaily tag on G+ for a while and I've decided to try to participate. The concept is simple: each day, a single theme is announced, you have the day to post (or not) a picture related to the theme. It's not a competition, mostly a just for fun event. I've done it …
from 2016 to 2017
So 2016 has come and gone, it's time for some post-mortem / retrospective and dive into the wonderful world of 2017. I must say that this post is the perfect example of what I should avoid as I started it roughly mid december and I realize that January is mostly gone and this is still …
LePin, Lego and Porsche
I've been a fan of Lego for ages and my only limiting factors are the place it takes and the cost. Being a car fan, I was pretty excited by the release of the ego 911 GT3RS (Lego 42056). However, this model was not stocked much and is overly expensive, probably to account for the Porsche …
Some random thoughts
I realized I've been pretty idle and did not post over the last month. September is gone, and that blog stayed empty. I did not really do anything technical last month (I mostly blame work and laziness), but I have a few random and unorganized thoughts I wanted to post. I have finally seen the move …
