Cela faisait longtemps...
La version 1.4 de GNU Edu est sortie.
Cette version comporte des améliorations dans l'édition des mots-clés, des traductions, et introduit l'idée des listes de chapitres, ou tables des matières.

It has been a long time...
GNU Edu version 1.4 is out, with enhancements in keywords editing, translations and curricula re-organized in "chapter sets" (ie table of contents) . Additionnally, there is now a Traditional Chinese localization.

I first heard about darcs in a conference by Julius Chroboczek, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Cachan (Paris).

On Wednesday I sung, among others, in a theatre not far from home, and the performance was recorded by my companion.
I'm not very satisfied with my own singing, I even tend to prefer my first Poulenc, but this is also very beautiful music (Debussy, Mozart) and maybe I render some of its beauty.

As many people, I have some tricks about organizing my work.
I have to manage quite a few projects, large or small, at the same time.
So I limit myself to 2-3 big tasks for each day, and I change everyday. Not counting small things not reading nor answering mail ..

Vise un peu cette folle et ses souliers montants
Elle a tous les ruisseaux dans ses regards d'émail
Elle a tous les oiseaux sur son chapeau de paille
Et dans son sac à main ses rêves de vingt ans

Cette recette ressemble à celle de la crème anglaise, mais elle est tout de même beaucoup plus facile à réussir. La consistance finale, une fois refroidie, est étonnamment épaisse, et le goût est irrésistible.
