Less Human

I was lucky. Through asking around on forums I was given a recommendation of an English speaking dentist in Lyon. Dr. Alexandre Baroud’s web site makes no mention of being a polyglot – maybe speaking three languages is not so note worthy here – but he speaks excellent English and is surprisingly used to English speaking patients.

Geneva At Long Last

It had been too long since I last visited Geneva. Megan and I visited our friends in Geneva for the first time in many years this weekend.

Fireworks and the Crowd

There was little sign of the pushing and shoving of the crowd last night. Getting around in Lyon can often involve moving among crowds of jostling commuters, shoppers, and onlookers.

Services Parade

We watched the parade near Foch in Lyon yesterday evening. The parade is part of la Fête Nationale celebrations.

World Bending

Why is the underside of this overpass in Lyon painted like a road? Is it possible they reused a section of road and flipped it over; I suspect not.

Updates and the Press Release

I have learnt from bitter experience not to try and launch multiple updates at once. Or at least not to try and launch multiple products in a synchronised manner. There is too much pressure, too much to get wrong, and too much to coordinate.

Australian Art

There is something delightful about someone’s name matching the way they spend their time. Art Dereka is an Australian artist and a mother of a friend. She is dipping her toe into the online world and has started a web site.

Fête de la Musique

Last Thursday marked the World Music Day, Fête de la Musique in French. Megan took the opportunity to make me take a break from work and explore the streets.

Improving the Mac Help Book

Today I published my first WordPress plugin. The plugin is called “Miln Help Book Search” and it lets Mac applications offer better help.

Black and Red Insect

Surrounded by so many beautiful scenes to photograph and yet I still get a kick out of photographing the tiny.
