  • Introduction

    A picture of the laptop showing this blog post being typed

    This personal blog is the result of two things.


    The first is that I’ve been working in IT development for over twenty-five years and I’ve never had the discipline to share elements of my professional life online. This blog is therefore an attempt to regularly talk online about subjects related to this activity. As I write these words, I’ve just come back from the Snowcamp conference in Grenoble and I’m realising how interesting it is to discuss things outside my usual work environment. I’m going to see if I can post something, however small, every week. Challenge!


    The second is that the big social networks, as they have become (with their stupid masculinist bosses who don’t care much about personal data, or anything beside themselves), no longer seem to me to be appropriate media on which to base a healthy collective discussion (yes, mastodon, I know, I like you, I don’t forget you).


    As my professional activity is mainly in English, this blog will be in English because I’d like to share it with my direct professional circle. We’ll give it a go, in any case!

  • About me

    A tarot card representing a man hanged by his left foot. His hair are blue, his face is calm, the situation does not affect him too much

    I’m a professional programmer since 1998, working in the ticketing industry since 2007.

    I like to build useful applications, to teach and coach people.

    I’m also a writer of science-fiction and fantasy books, some of them being fed with my professional experience. I blog here[fr] since 2004 about books, movies, plays, role playing games…

    He/him old white male. I use the tarot card “the hanged man” as an avatar for many reasons, one of them being that the guy stays calm, even in difficult circumstances.

    The opinions expressed on this blog are my own.
