MySpace

Purely for research purpose, I decided to set a foot in MySpace. I therefore have a… erm… MySpace on MySpace now.

First Real Skype Call

I’ve just done my first real inter-continental Skype call with Stéph! I’d tried Skype before but with a collegue, so it wasn’t that exciting.
This is cool! Free calls all around the world — I knew it, but it’s something else when you actually experience it!

So Much to Write, So Little Time

Unwritten posts are piling up in my to-do list. I could spend the next week writing, probably. But I have tests to mark, classes to prepare, and various stuff to do.
I’m actually starting (don’t laugh) to realise how much time it takes me to write a post. I tend to dive in and come out [...]

Spring Calling

It was sunny during a moment yesterday for the first time in a long time. This morning, it’s light outside, and I can see blue sky between the clouds. It’s been grey here for so long I could hardly remember the sky was blue!
I’m ready for spring to come. Winter is always such a dreadful [...]

Judo: Back on Track

I went to judo again Friday, and today. My black belt partner was there today, it was really nice to see her. At the end of the lesson, we did Nageno Kata (without throws) just to see if we still knew it. And we do! We haven’t done it in at least two years, and [...]

Seven Down, Eight to Go

That’s the number of kids in my class. Seven of them ill today. Eight in class, but two of them not in very good shape.
What’s up? I asked around, but none of my colleagues have so many sick kids in their class.
In any case, it makes teaching really weird. Can’t really do the normal [...]

Done!

With the intention of doing things in a less obsessive manner, here is what I accomplished this evening:

laundry
paid bills
washing-up
answered a bunch of e-mails (some of them very old)
fired off a couple of e-mails to try and get paid for stuff I did in November/December
freed some space on my hard drive (hopefully the iBook will stop [...]

Life Update

I have a gazillion things to blog about (and not only after yesterday evening). Unfortunately I’m down with a bad cold and a mean deadline — not even thinking of all the school stuff I’ve set aside during these last three weeks. Maybe I need a life assistant?

Give Us Real Tags on WordPress.com!

I love my WordPress.com blog, even though I sometimes have trouble deciding if I should post the geeky stuff here or on Climb to the Stars. The only thing that really bugs me is that if I don’t want to have to type in all my tags by hand, I need to use Flock, and [...]

Dilbert For Me Today

Kevin sent me today’s Dilbert cartoon. I just have to laugh, sometimes it really feels like that. Or the other way around. Not sure yet.
