Brought closer protection!

Our Fanfan cat transformed into bodyguard. Rather credible! Not?!!! It should be said that if one were to compare the world of the cats and that of the human ones, it would make in 6.7 foot and for 360 pounds approximately! It is not a maincoon for nothing...
PS: fortunately it does not scratch... it is satisfied to bite :(

Holy Gildas

I interess much with the history of Armorican Brittany (my origins) but also with its history during the very Early middle ages. It is there that appeared a significant character, Holy Gildas which belonged to the transition between the Breton ones driven out by the Saxon ones from Cornouailles and their arrival by waves in current Brittany... Some links on this interesting character:

Gildas before becoming monk and being established in Armorique, wrote "De Excidio Britanniae" (ruin of Brittany). If somebody can give me links on the fabric on this work, I am taking!

Stroll at the edge of the lake of Grand-Lieu (Great Place)

Today, Sunday October 15, 2006 small strolls in edge of sea made us desire, but on about 4 o'clock in the evening and on the basis of Nantes, that seemed to us much of road for a short walk! Then we folded back ourselves on the lake of Grand-Lieu. Well took us, considering the exceptional conditions for the catches of photographs. That it's the fauna which was with go, flora but also a light... Good walk on the edges of Lake Grand-lieu near Nantes (France).

Large concern material

Arrrrgh! My computer has just released me!!! It released me without preventing; one morning I launch it to consult my mail inbox before going to work and it starts on an unhappy planting of the system. These had not arrived to me on my Linux system since years, but "that have come"!. What with that does not hold, I starts again it and then, the diode of food starts to flicker accompanied by a noise to draw up me the hair on the head. At the end of ten quiver, more nothing. And especially more nothing to make, after a passage of the hands in dirty oil, and reassembly in another pc tower which I had in reserve of the mother chart and the associated elements... always nothing. Diagnostic: the motherboard is died :(. Happily, I have an old Dell poweredge server which repairs me since, it is used to me now as workstation. The power and the capacities are less but I make very well with, because I use a rather light Linux environment ;) For those which that interests, I made small "topo" on the station of replacement which I have just assembled, in this article.

Effect of the moon...

One evening in our garden bathed a particular atmosphere... Judge yourself here.

The cigarette is a plague...

... but the two first are so good:|
Currently I smoke the equivalent of a little less than one package of cigarettes per day, which for the majority are not well appreciated; the problem is that I have evil to avoid lighting one of them, it is more than a reflexe.
To decrease in a radical way my consumption of cigarettes I have a plan in three phases. Lastly, as from the moment when I would have decided! And that should not delay any more:)

  • 1ere phase: I do not smoke any more a day, but not of restriction the evening :)
  • 2nd phase: I still do not smoke in the course of the day, but I limit myself to one or two cigarettes the evening :|
  • 3rd phase: to confirm the 2nd phase :))

Good plane! no?

My distribs Linux during years

Following the short one (news) Choice of my Linux distribution published previously, I decided to take stock of the Linux distributions and other OS used since 1993. 1993! What already! But however it was yesterday! Snif, snif, Wouaaaaaa...
Lastly, snif, always is it that if that interests you you can should read the nonexhaustive "récap" in this article: My Linux distributions during years...

Choice of my Linux distribution

I "crapahuté" on various distributions Linux since my first, Slackware, in 1994. I passed by Redhat, Suse, Debian and lately by Fedora and Ubuntu. The problem, it is that I have evil has to stabilize me on a choice. I found this site rather sympathetic which starting from a questionnaire returned the result to me following when with the best choice of Linux distribution for me.
The site about which I speak here is: http://www.eax.fr/eax/distributions.
It remains to me still the last dilemne, there are in fact two distributions which arrive at the head: Slackware and Debian ;)
The result is here
