I have my new laptop! It’s an Asus M6BC that works well, apart from the usual culprit, the winmodem. I don’t care about it :-)

Thanks again to all the donators!

Hi,
there’s been a [...]

Water. Cold, hot, dirty, everywhere

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

Insert insanities here.
When we left to Valleraugue for our holidays, my coworker Cristina offered to take care of our cat. Just the day after we left, she called us with some good news: our water boiler (200 litres) basically exploded from the top, leaving lots of water in the hall. She took care of it [...]

Die bug, die!
