It Felt GooD!
Filed Under Daily
It’s been 6 months now that I am looking for a job and applying continuously to the APEC site (job search board). I felt good not to have to do it anymore. I got sick of the face of the ad’s dude there. I am keeping fingers crossed for the new job. It is at least very well paid. I am hoping I will be surrounded by nice people like in Grenoble and not by bad asses!
I think it is a good sign that I got a trip to the US right away. I always got a free trip each time I got a job before in academia (US and Australia).

BoUght a CaR!
Filed Under Daily
I need one to go to work. It’s only 45 min drive by car but it takes 1 h and 40 min to get there by train. I’ve decided it’s time I get a car. It’s a second hand Toyota Yaris 2009 (model : 90 D-4D Confort). It has 68 k mileage on it already it but looks like new and runs smoothly. I am a bit rough on it now, I need to get used to it.

Alright there is a huge competition going on between different services and Google just got in. So people will be able to enjoy more icloud space.
Microsoft’s Skydrive: 7 Gb (25 GB if you were in the trial program)
Google Drive : 5 Gb
Apple’s Icloud: 5 Gb
Dropbox: 3 gb (8 Gb if u advertise to friends)
They all do the same thing. I am currently using Dropbox and I am in the process of moving to Skydrive.

1 year and 4 kgs gone!
Filed Under Daily
It took me about a year to loose 4 kgs. 5 years ago, I couldn’t get ONE kg no matter what I ate. My dad’s heart accident was the key to my awareness. To me, it is not really important to live long enough but how I would get older. I do not want to be sick or to depend on someone because I am sick. My whole family on both sides seems to have health problems when they get older. Heart disease and diabetes are our Nemesis. My parents smoked a lot so it didn’t help. People from my generation in the family were able to avoid the 2 main problems: getting fat and smoking.

I bought it. I couldn’t resist and wasted 619 euros on this damn Iphone 4S (no phone plans, just a pay-as-you-go micro sim card). Everything runs so smoothly on it. No easy method to unlock it yet. It’s only been jailbroken with firmware 5.0.1 not 5.1 yet. There is nothing to do but download absinthe and let it do everything. I gave the old 3G to my brother. I had to restore it using a tricky method since Itune won’t do it normally because the baseband has been modified (error 1015): LINK. I am afraid my brother might want a fast Samsung now from Ebay.

Personal MedIa NetWork!

I’ve been looking for a nice and easy way to share/watch movies on the Iphone. Airplayit allows you to share your movies on the local computer with your Iphone over Wifi/3G connection. Sooooo nice! Everything is read, converted and sent straight to the Iphone screen. In practice, you have your personal network media library to stream from. Isn’t it Nice? Watching movies in your bed on the Iphone screen?
