Yesterday, I checked the old photos from Ireland (Dublin) and the UK (Manchester). They did hurt me because I could not remember the names of people I was with. It was a lot of fun but it is forever gone. I guess these people forgot my name also. They still have some of my pictures on the hiking website of Manchester.
The memories of these events are slowly fading away and I do not have new ones to replace them. I should probably post all these pictures back on my Flickr site because they are really beautiful.

A 34 year old tunisian man killed a woman who was running in the park not far from where I live. We tend to have regular news of this type in my neigbourhood: LINK. It does not shock many people around here. Tragedy has become the normal standard where I live.

When I moved to my new studio six months ago, I loved the studio and it was very nice. I wanted to make sure that all unfinished business in the whole building would be completed by the company that was responsible for the construction.
I noticed that they delayed the requests and there was no follow-up. It left everyone quite frustrated and we all had the feeling that it would never be completely finished. I took up the challenge and decided to deal with every problem that we encountered. I first tried to be nice and sent out notices then I attacked them publickly using everything that I know (blog, Facebook, twitter, emails, Flickr).
After 6 months of continuous effort, I think I am about to take over the control of the building itself. I am not too sure I want to continue but if I don’t do it, who will do it? There will be soon a general assembly that will decide the fate of the building. I want to make sure that it will be in good hands.
I’ve kept the whole story on another blog because I was not sure I would succeed. I was quite violent but it worked in the end!

iPhOne 6 vs saMsUnG gAlaXy 5S

I hope that the Iphone 6 will drive the price of the Samsung Galaxy 5S down. The real twist regarding the Samsung Galaxy 5S is LTE Advanced capabilities meaning 4G+ compatibility :).
Now what’s the use of having 4G+ if you can only afford to pay for 6 Gibabytes worth download!!! It’s like renting a highway and use it for 5 min each month!

I gathered more stuffs to give away: an old coffee maker in perfect condition (Rowenta) and a designed wall clock. I spent 2 hours cleaning the coffee machine. I now have 2 bags full of useless stuff to give away. I will give them to the Roms couple if they stop by this Sunday. I will try to gather more stuffs at work. There are so many goodies to give away!
I will also try to buy these freebies on the net or in the shops that are 100% re-imbursed. I think I can get a nice amount of useless stuffs to give away if I really want to. Let’s put my weird brain at work.

I do recognize the simple fact that I am privileged compared to most people in my building. I see their everyday struggle and I feel lucky being in my shoes. The only thing that I can help people in the building with is my knowledge regarding internet and computers. I seriously doubt that they have time playing with computers though. I could offer them tons of free movies but all my movies are in English. I could also show their kids how to download and play tons of games for free but I do not know if it would harm them more.
Indeed, their usage of the internet and computers is quite basic and limited.

That’s how I call some people in the building. The “caddies” use a golf-like caddy to go shopping. Yesterday, I even saw the “young-couple” dude pushing a shopping cart full of stuffs to the building. It reminds me of the Chinese students in Australia. They do the same thing to carry their purchase home.

There are few couples in the building that got my attention:
1. The “Tomboy” couple: I already mentioned about this strange giant dude and his skinny tomboy wife: Tomboy hair style and no breast! Sadly, their daughter looks very much like her mom.
2. The “young couple”: a tall pretty black girl and her BF. They are struggling with everyday life. The girl was the one who came and asked for a printer.
3. The “black/arab” couple: a SKINNY tall black dude and his pretty arab GF. He is the most remarquable one even though his GF is 100% times prettier. He looks like Ghandi on stilts (“échasses”). Why is she with him? Mystery of life!
4. The “white/asian” couple: the dude is half bold with a speech disorder (stuttering = “bégaiement”), his wife is a short rounded asian chick. Their daughter saved the day because she holds all the promises of a pretty girl.

I am thinking about getting a printer. I never thought about getting one since I have a very nice professional printer at work. They aren’t that expensive but the ink is quite pricey!
A girl who lives with her BF stopped by to ask for help the other day with printing. This young couple belongs to the class 3 category, the ones who struggle.
