Welcome!

Me@Home

Here are my hobbies:

• I spend quite some time shooting pictures. My main interest in photography is sports, more precisely equestrian endurance since Sandrine, my girlfriend, practices this discipline.
  I also shoot landscape since they tend not to move a lot! If you are interested, you can have a look at my gallery.
  Also, I'd love to try portrait, but unfortunately, there is no Cindy Crawford, Claudia Shiffer, nor Kathy Ireland available for me to improve my technique. By the way, if you are (a woman) looking for a photograph to produce a book, do not hesitate before you drop me a message! ;-)
• I also spend quite some time working on open source software:
  • I was looking for a guestbook, but none answered all my needs. I decided to extend the best product I found – Advanced Guestbook. The result of this work is php::GuestBook.
  • I help the Gallery team too. I consider Gallery being the best web based photo gallery. My contribution to the project is limited to translating the messages in french! ;-)
• The Titanic was the biggest, most luxurious liner of its time. She was the first of a new line of bigger and more comfortable ships. Even some had said she was unsinkable... The fact is she sank during her maiden journey, a "dark and cold night " of April 1912.
  For some reason, I've always be fascinated by this ship. That's why I gathered all information I have into a dedicated web site.
• Furthermore, I am also interested in the underwater world. Needless to say I am diver.
  My first dive goes back to June 1993. I sometimes reminder myself to create a new web site dedicated to scuba diving. However, I already don't have much free time left...

Me@Work

Back to the serious stuff: each day, I transform myself into a "project manager" (you know the kind: dark suit and a tie) ;-). I assist the customers of my company to implement new IT systems like portals, identity and authorization management systems and so on.

Misc

I still have a few web pages I do not know what to do with. Since these pages are still viewed, I decided not to remove them. Here they are:

• I've been an Apple fan for years. I used and bought a lot of Macintoshes. I have collected several documents such as the story of Apple and some additional information from Jef Raskin and Bruce regarding the design of the Macintosh.
