So, “recently” my ISP started to block outgoing connection to port 25 and force SMTP auth in an attempt to reduce spam. So far so good, but I just realized that they embed the real login in the header:
X-ME-User-Auth: my-real-login
So much for my privacy and anonymity…
Note for the spam bots: just google “X-ME-User-Auth” to get […]
Apparently my med’ school is going to be at Paris V Descartes.
I would have preferred Paris XII for various reasons (more medical and smaller classes for instance) but O well… That’d do it too.
On the up sides the location is gorgeous and the hospitals associated with it for the internships are really great too. But […]
Et voila, l’EPITA obtient finalement la reconnaissance de la CTI et est donc maintenant habilitée à délivrer un titre d’ingénieur diplômé.
Dommage que cela ne soit pas rétroactif. J’aurais pu demander une intégration directe en 2ème cycle de médecine… Sniff
Enfin, ce n’est pas grave, ça fait déjà un troll en moins… quoi que… Il y en […]
For those you don’t know, “So you think you can dance?” (Sytycd) is an “American Idol” type of show, wherein a group of 20 dancers (10 males, 10 females) are cast, paired as couples, and must perform each week a routine whose style is randomly selected.
I’m not really into dance, but I really enjoy this […]
In France, medical school is quite different than in USA. Anyone who graduated from high school can get in, but the first year is very competitive: you have exams wherein you are ranked, and at the end of the first year only the top 10% or so can make it through. In some way, instead […]
As you may have noticed, I had been quite quiet during March and Avril. I think it may now be a good time to reflect on what happened: I moved back to France, “definitely”, leaving my friends, my nicely-paid job, and my life as I now had used it to be, “to purse other opportunities” […]
Thanks to Kena for pointing this video out. Quite hilarious.
Bill Maher on the French:
One of my favorite poem (after Ariette III from Verlaine), best read aloud
Petite épître au Roi
–
En m’ébattant je fais rondeaux en rime,
Et en rimant bien souvent je m’enrime ;
Bref, c’est pitié d’entre nous rimailleurs,
Car vous trouvez assez de rime ailleurs,
Et quand vous plaît mieux que moi rimassez,
Des biens avez et de la rime assez :

Jean-Michel Hervé, as known as TuO died at the age of 28 from a brain cancer.
TuO was an old friend back from the good old days, from the demomaking days. He was one of the main coder/programmer of the demomaking group called SkyTech, in which I was member too - along with some other close […]
A small post in French.
Voilà une petite video en français sur les OGM qui est en train de faire le tour de la toile.
Selon les dires elle aurait été interdite de diffusion sur Canal+, mais sur les commentaires de cette vidéo sur google on peut y lire:
Journal Libération du Mercredi 7 Février 2007, page médias […]
