Ten years ago, I was a barfly. I was out almost every night. And, going you go out that much you meet people. One night, I met Thomas Ngigol, and Karole Rocher, two French actors, that, today, who now share their lives. Karole Rocher, I discovered her in Braquo, a French crime dr … | Continue reading
Woke up time: 5:37AM! Less than five hours of sleep, for a Sunday morning is probably a nightmare for many, but I like the quietness of those mornings. But, today it’s a weird dream that got me out of the bed. After years, I met my old basket-ball coach. We talked about our lives … | Continue reading
As many of you are already aware, the ".io" domain name will no longer be available. And, this blog needed a new TLD! Four years ago, I read Yarmo’s post, and it helped me to realise there were issues with that domain name, but I never changed it. I supposed it’s called Lazybear … | Continue reading
Rome, I’ve been only once there, and I loved it. The only downside was the taxi driver who wanted to show me the all city before getting to my hotel.😅 The other thing that impressed me was the size of all the monuments. Everything was on a huge scale. And, I also enjoyed … | Continue reading
I had exactly the same issue until last week when I decided to clean my Faber-Castell E-Motion fountain pen. But, what happened? That fountain pen cost me €120 in 2019. Today, exactly the same model cost €180. 🤬 I used the Parker Quink Ink for the last five years with tha … | Continue reading
This year, I decided to join the Inktober challenge. Yeah, another challenge 😅. When I was a kid, I always loved to doodle around in my notebooks, but as I got older, I lost it until I had children. Now, here and there, I draw with them, and do many other activities that … | Continue reading
Ten years ago, I used to party a loooot. Every time I went out, I always had a camera with me. Some pictures can be seen here, 2, 3. I’ll try to update my photography section with all those pics. That’s how I drowned with rum two Fuji X100. They were still functional, but when it … | Continue reading
Vim is great to autocomplete many things. If you have an LSP installed it’s even better. But, by default, Vim provides many autocompletion features to help you in your writing. What can you autocomplete? Numerous things: Words in the thesaurus CTRL-X CTRL-T Words in the dictionar … | Continue reading
I installed Miniflux last week, and when I opened it I had almost 6k posts. Miniflux dug up many old posts. Some of them are 20 years old! My goal is to browse them, and when a title catches my attention, I’ll read it. If the title isn’t explicit, I’ll just mark them as “read”. H … | Continue reading
September is already over. I’ve got a lot done this month. I’ve watched lots of movies and TV shows, and I’ve almost finished one book and started a new one. I’ve also got back to sport, intermittent fasting, and lots of note-taking in an effort to improve my Zettelkasten. Podcas … | Continue reading
Ellane publishes every week a “Plain Text, Paper less” aka PTPL post. This morning I read her post Saving Safari tabs as Markdown links. I don’t use Safari, I use Librewolf, a privacy focused fork of Firefox. And, I use Tridactyl, a Vim experience in your browser. If you are a Vi … | Continue reading

Habits, I think I’m too old to break them I guess. I’ve been using Librewolf for over 3 years now, and I’ll continue that way.

I spent the evening watching the third season of Slow Horses, and did at the same time a change of the CSS of this blog. The dark background was something I wanted to change for a while. I wasn’t really sure if a modification of the colour would be enough. At the end, as you can … | Continue reading
Once I got my Miniflux installed, I browsed articles from my feeds, and one catched my interest: My A-Z toolbox: aria2 by Ruben Schade. He’ll be listing all the tools in an A-Z series of alphabetically ordered posts. His post inspired me to do the same. So, here are the tools sta … | Continue reading
This summer was the first time I went up so high in trees. Younger, I did climb up, but acrobranching wasn’t something I had the opportunity to try. I don’t even think it was a thing back then.

Two days ago, I asked on Mastodon how newsboat users were syncing their RSS feeds with their mobile phone. Amin suggested using a backend like Miniflux. Another solutions suggested: export feeds and sync them with syncthing use Termux on the phone, and do another sync with syncth … | Continue reading

I’ve read various blog posts (1,2) about mobile phones that people owned. So, here’s my list too. Over 25 years I’ve had 23 phones, if I haven’t forgotten some of them. I’ve listed them by release date. I probably didn’t have them in the same year. As a student, I used to sell my … | Continue reading
Now that the summer is almost gone, I will miss the West Indies. But, I remember that I was lucky to be at the beach last January. Fonte da Telha, Portugal - January 2024 - Fujifilm XPro2 Post 65/100 - Round 5 of the 100DaysToOffload challenge ! | Continue reading
August is gone, and it ends a long break. The last time my holidays were so long was probably when I was a teenager. I almost didn’t touch my laptop in August. I didn’t open Slack for work, or did many things except reading, enjoying the beach and the river, seeing family, and fi … | Continue reading
Zen, that’s the spirit I want when I surf online. I don’t want pixels trackers. I don’t want ads. I don’t need all that crap. Zen is a “new” browser based on Firefox, and focused on privacy. It’s similar to Librewolf, my current browser, that enables privacy features, and disable … | Continue reading
Still in holidays for a couple of days, and then I’ll be back in Europe. That’s a picture from a lake taken in Serbia. That summer of 2016 was the last time I had the chance to hold my mother. She passed away the same year for Xmas, a “nice” present of the universe, and never met … | Continue reading
Holidays! That’s the reason why I didn’t post on the blog for a while 😅. I try to read, play with kids, enjoy my free time, and avoid the laptop. Four years later, I’m back in the West Indies, in Guadeloupe to be more precise. And, I remember the day I took this picture. … | Continue reading

While my dad didn’t kick bombs when I was kid, Alexandra’s story reminded me my school. At the beginning of the new year, a professor asked us to fold a piece of paper, write our names / surnames on it, and also our parents’ jobs. While other kids didn’t have issues with that, I … | Continue reading

One year already since Vim lost his father. I noticed that this week looking for some Vim information. I hope someone will continue the great work that Mr Moolenar did during 30 years of his life to build this tool. Even if I switched to Neovim, vim is the foundation of it. So ma … | Continue reading
Holidays are almost there. Two weeks to go! This month, I haven’t really done many #JulyReply2024 posts, mainly because I do it from time to time already. I didn’t want to force myself to reply to some posts. I only replied to three posts, but I could have replied to more I’m sur … | Continue reading

Sometimes, you want to add a UTF-8 character in the text you write, but you don’t know how to insert it. Vim/Neovim has an easy way to solve that. In theory, it could be done with the keybinding CTRL-V + decimal number of the character, but I always had issues with that. Maybe, i … | Continue reading
