This year was clearly special in many ways.

Goals for the new year to come:
- share more info on Internet
- use a different way than a blog …
- listen more classical music
- learn piano!

And more

It seems you have here a kind of combination of multiple molecules creating a highly toxic compound.

As usual in biology, the cause of a problem is rarely coming from one factor but from multiple.

Of course, this study doesn’t prove that combination is the cause of CCD but it certainly contribute. They want know study the difference of organic vs non-organic beekeeper.

Sorry I couldn’t resist ! Too hilarious !

How to explain the purpose of the LHC in rap style !
Like we say in french: Tout un poême !

The fun part now is to see so many concerns that the LHC will trigger the end of the world. It’s funny but it’s sad to see a so bad knowledge of science and particularly particly physics.

Thank you Didier

I can’t find my first web page hosted by my university. Archive.org didn’t exist yet !

It’s pretty good to see the tag cloud getting shapped the way it is.

Ainsi va la vie

We ended up during the evening in a very good (this time) restaurant: Great Adirondack Steackhouse & Seafood. I never ate a so good prime rib steak honnestly. It was serve like I asked (medium rare) with a smal container with gravy inside and a good baked potatoe. Friend meat lover, go there !

The rain pushed us back to the hotel at the end of the day…

Ok today, we are going to climb Wright Mountain in the south of Lake Placid. The last review I saw said 6.2hours round trip and close to 2500ft difference. The backpacks are ready.

See you

We got to the place (The Mountain View Inn) in about 6h through the interstate 87. And this inn is in pretty good shape and good location.

First thing, you can smell and feel the difference in the air here. It’s cooler, less humid and a smell of pine comes from time to time.

After putting suitcases and bikes, we got a small visit of the town and finally got to a restaurant called “Firestone” … Well don’t go there seriously. It’s really not good at all.

Now, this morning after a quick breakfast in the motel (coffee and fruits), let’s go biking around Mirror Lake

See ya

Dedimove was a reseller of dedibox machines. It seems they got in trouble with Dedibox company and since then no access to my server and of course I have only an old backup of my blog …

Well, perhaps it’s time to start from scratch … again.

Anyway, this time I need a regular backup or close to that.

See you soon

After seeing 12 houses (some were canceled by just passing by …), 2 just stayed in our mind. One was very spacious and a bug backyard but very close to the highway … and the second one, very cute looking, a bit small and lots to repair.

We almost bought that last one, but finally keep looking for a better opportunity. This house was too small anyway and too many problems vs cuteness/location.

So, it’s just a start. It’s our first time so we are pretty green to that kind of task, bu we are learning fast !

To be continued …

Update (2008/08/29): We finally bought a house and closed end of April. Since then it’s lot of work to do as well, but lots of joy

I hope this new year will bring you lots of good stuff (health, happiness, joy, love … yup very important ).

Another year in the big universe …
Same resolution for that year: trying to post more often

Oh well… specially to post stuff useful such as tricks I found myself that could save time for others ! That’s something that blogs and Google (or other search engines) provide the best. So thank you all.

So see you soon

Nicolas
