Agnes Obel, la magie à l'état pur
Grâce à Radio Paradise j’ai récemment découvert une artiste danoise appelée Agnes Obel.
Le genre de morceau qui font dresser l’oreille, se demandant à qui appartient cette voix superbe, épurée, soutenue par un piano subtil (instrument que j’adore). Parfois accompagnée par des accords à la harpe ou à la contrebasse, sans pour autant la masquer.
RP passe quelques morceaux1, principalement d’
Aventine , le 2ème album d’Agnes Obel, pur joyau de musique du genre de ceux qui font interrompre toute activité pour se consacrer à l’écoute.
…Human behaviour
Foreword: this is not a just-for-ranting-blog but it seems News flying around these days are just “rant fodder” :(
TL;DR: I am ashamed of being a man. Please read on if you want to help.
…Last day at EuroBSDCon
Last day of the EuroBSDCon 2014 conference (ok, there are only two days anyway :)) with all three tracks as yesterday, another keynote and the closing session where the next EuroBSDCon host is traditionally announced.
Like yesterday, I only chaired some talks so I’m going to talk only about the ones I followed.
…EuroBSDCon Conference begins!
Very busy day today at the EuroBSDCon 2014 conference in Sofia, Bulgaria as I had to chair one entire track from morning to evening.
That means assuring the speakers are there on time, introducing each of them in a few words and managing questions after the talk is finished (while managing the time of course).
…Second day in Sofia
Slightly less busy day during the second run of devsummit sessions, although the ones in the morning were pretty important for us.
…First day in Sofia
So today was the first day of the EuroBSDCOn 2014 conference, traditionally starting by two days of FreeBSD devsummit, a meeting of FreeBSD developers, talking about various topics and thinking about FreeBSD’s future.
…SF&F 2013 discovery: Lindsay Buroker
It is no secret that I like Science Fiction & Fantasy (my Goodreads profile shows that :)) and I like classical authors such as
Isaac Asimov and of course
J. R. R. Tolkien . I’m not reading only these of course and my list of authors has been growing over the years.
One genre I’ve been reading into lately is
Steampunk which mix steam-powered machinery with special things such as post-apocalyptic world or magic.
…J'ai mal
J’ai mal.
Je ne comprends plus ces députés, ce pays, ces ministres et ce Président, pour lequel j’ai pourtant voté en avril 2012, voulant bouter N. Sarkozy de la place suprême, ne le supportant plus.
Oh, je n’espérais pas énormément de F. Hollande, ses années à la tête du Parti socialiste n’étant pas de nature à rassurer mais virer Sarkozy était l’objectif primordial. Je m’attendais à un président aussi mou que J. Chirac lors de son deuxième mandat.
Mais je ne m’attendais pas à ÇA.
