Des nouvelles de GNU Edu

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.

Second audio + video recording (singing)

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.

Some tricks for work

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 ..

dreams

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

Louis Aragon (Cri du butor, extrait)
