Oops, time goes fast...
I started a new job in a new company back in mid-April, and am pretty happy with it overall. It is still one of those companies that hire IT engineers to sell them to clients during limited missions. My current mission is for a famous French bank in the Opéra district. Since I can go there by public bike within 15 minutes tops, it has changed my habits for good. And in other news, I got me a gf very recently. So all in all, a pretty decent year for me so far.

Shabba, your care for the environment is becoming obsessive. We get the happy news that he has a gf and you're like: public bike...???..??
Good to hear you're doing well Socra. Beats fighting your landlord in court by a longshot I guess.

Before you know it this will turn into a "I popped the question" thread, and a "meet Socrates jr." thread after that. This won't get krys to play more civ

Called Velib in Paris. The rent-a-bike-in-the-street service, and for almost no money.
I guess I'll name him... Plato ! But nah, it's a very long way to go anyway, but you're right : still no Civ.

I had a difficult decision to make recently.
My gf flew off to Mumbai, India last night. She will not come back until next year, as she is going to work for a local NGO at a strategical position during that time. It has been 6 months since we got together ; she got the news that she won the position 4 months ago already. Therefore the relationship was still quite fresh and fragile, and we spent many an hour to decide what to do. In the end, as it got more solid, we decided to bet on "We stay together and believe we'll make it through the year and meet again". Not the easiest card, but a great challenge of its kind ! I now have a webcam and a microphone to buy...

Hard time ahead.
Back in 1999 my gf went out for 8 months in Viet-Nam for a NGO. In our case it was easier to decide since we had already been together for four years. Back then Skype and webcam where not as present (and her internet was very slow). What was hard, is that she has many experience to tell you about and writes 2 pages mails daily and all your news take about 4 lines every 2 days. If we could do it again, I would have had for sure taken 2 week off go see her at least once to see what she is living through. It would have made our re-acquittance easier. Easier said now, but at the time I was a student without much money...
