Me, my, myself

Someone told me once that a homepage without a photo of its owner is not a real homepage. So let's do that like everybody.

To resume, I'm a computer scientist and a geek. That is to say I spend most of my time in front of my keyboard writing software instead of having social activities. As average geek, I proudly publish my geek code on the Internet.

When I'm not in front of my keyboard, I like to practice some roller skatting with friends either during the huge Sunday excursion at Paris, organized by Rollers & Coquillages), either during private and wild excursions on Paris pavements (or even the street or buses ways when we dare).

Beside this, I'm often stuck in that dark places that are Irish pubs of Paris. I caught this bad habit from a six month long stay in Ireland at the University Of Ulster of Belfast. One of my projects is to make a website that lists good pubs of Paris, like Mmmm!.

Geek Activities

As every good geek, I spend (or I used to spend) my week-ends in front of my keyboard. During these times, I produced some pieces of software or some contributions:

• APRIL association (Association pour la Promotion et la Recherche en Informatique Libre), which I'm the vice president
• Debian, a GNU/Linux distribution, which I contribute for as a packager
• Some software:
  • w9wm, a window manager
  • grisbi, a personal finance tracker program
  • 9box, an experiment. Much like a virtual ``box'' which hosts X windows as a virtual screen
  • some programs in Emacs-Lisp

Other websites

• GnusFR.org, a French site dedicated to Gnus, a very good mail and news reader for Emacs;
• my page on Debian machines.
• MetaX-Benj, my fan-club website.
