Around 24 years ago , we were enjoying a fresh lime soda at the Venite Bar in Panaji, Goa.

We’ve covered substantial ground since, and time has flown by, but my memories are still as vibrant and intense as my feelings for you today.

Happy ❤️ anniversary!

The Venite Bar is still open today and remains one of my favourite places in Panaji – and selfies were called self-timer shots at the time.

During our Indian trip, one of favourite tracks was “St. Teresa” by Joan Osborne on Fabienne’s Sony Walkman 😎

  • Flashback
    Posted in daily on

    I’ll be honest, I was never a supporter of Flash taking over entire web pages, or sites. I felt it as a coup against the open HTML/CSS web. Having learned most of what I know by looking at other people’s source code, I considered Flash as yet another black box.

  • Name Mangler : a hidden favourite Mac app
    Posted in daily on

    Name Mangler by Many Tricks is a life saver when you have batches of files to organise and rename, and it’s super fast (and revertible). These actions could all be performed on the command line or via a shell script, but it’s so much faster to launch Name Mangler and get on with whatever you are trying to achieve.

  • Protein Spotlight gets its comic strip
    Posted in thoughts on

    Last year, Vivienne approached me with the project of adapting a collection of Protein Spotlight articles into comic strips, both in English and French versions.
