I was busy with some administrative matters last week trying remove the management company of my building (“Syndic de copropriétés”). The management company cost to all owners in the building 12 960 Euros per year. However, the building manager only took care of our accounting and nothing else. I was also tired of this building manager because he was really slow when […]

I am trying to force my bank to remove all interests on my loan during 2 years: it’s free and it would save 1110 Euros so I went to the court and I sued my bank. When I went to drop the administrative paperwork at the district court, I saw a homeless old man who tried to sue […]

Homemade “Bun Rieu”, it is stinky enough to scare away most Europeans! However, it is scrumptious. It is even better the day after when I just have to heat the soup up.

What to do with 1 Tb on a Flickr account? Since I have 1 tB of space, I decided to upload all original pictures at their highest resolution. The Nikon D200 is really a beautiful camera. The pictures are lovely and I never regretted this expensive camera. Maybe some people will prefer other version of their photos […]

When I bought my new Iphone 6S, I misjudged the new earpods because of the way they look. I thought that they will hurt my ears for few days like all the old earpods I had before. I was dead wrong! These new earpods have the same shape of the ear and the sound is beautiful with […]

I smiled when I read this article in “Le Monde” about meaningless jobs (“bullshit jobs”). I could almost paste every single “stupid” thing described in the article to my previous job: idiotic meetings, novlangue = fancy wording to describe Excel spreadsheets, new targets each year with new goals for just an administrative job that doesn’t create anything new :). However, […]

Albums’ scans

Vuescan is a useful program that allows very fast and easy manipulations of my HP Office 8600 multi-functions printer/scanner. I just wanted to finish the scanning of the old photos. The printed photos are scanned at the highest resolution possible: 4200 dpi. Each file is about 150 Megabytes. Flickr allows some nice photo manipulations with automatic zooming and […]
