#9500 "My way to not fall in love for a Fruit..."

Here we are today... Tuesday... wha sould I do today.... .. ... get to work of course... hoping my battery will be ok today and not decide to not help me to get on time at the studio when i'm trying to ignite the engine at 9.20 whereas I should start work at 9.15... ewww... today no problem though... don't ask me why... just the way it is.. a little frost on the windshield.. not really sure we in which season we are, somedays frost, other 14°c in the afternoon... Big Huge thing today... had to put myself in front of an apple... of course not the fruit, c'mon.. u know me enough ;) for the 3rd time in my life... I'm in front of a mac... and everything just does seems right... NOT.... Wha? A mouse with one button? How fun and unfriendly (Reminder : I'm using a trackball....), but well, even if the speed of the pointer is so slow that the 2 screens in front of me looks like 2 football field I will make 10minutes to cross each to get something on the other side, still nice... ok.. the OS... yeah.. well... why not.. i'm open minded u know.... not much to say.... On the other hand... Final Cut Pro... OMG... how the heck is that supposed to be the « ultimate » editing software? Not handy or me just being stuburned? I confess.. I'm an Adobe products fan deep inside.. Premiere pro rules in my life amongst all the other deadly soft they have.. and now I'm in front of FCP... that just suxx... badly.... Hear me well, after 15mn playing, ok, but I just don't have the habit... I thought at some point I should look at the user's guide... apple « we are making products worth buying at least twice the price we will give you the yellow pages as user's guide » made me say... no... let me learn by myself to see how « instinctive » this could be... or not...c Nonetheless, once again, nothing against Apple/Mac/FCP blabla war Windows/Mac (linux...well), just that it was not in my habit to be in front of a mac... the powerful chip etc is here (we are having one of the last version u know.. :) ), but I just don't get the fuzz about those computers, extremely expensive, that can have many problems (see @gauthier) etc... might do a post about it one day..just thought I would share my « well. That was a mac? Realy? » experience today.... For the joke.. i'm more a pear kinda guy anyway.... :) And here i'm turning to #9500.. wow... gosh... :| (put something like an awesome argument in here) Just to show I'm not really that kind of guy... just a really nice moment taken at the GDC.. can't even think how the MS guy couldn't change the Xbox right away.... this is just.... unbelievable... :| ---------------- Now playing: Arid - Little things of venom

#9496 "My "I'm officially more than a quarter of century old" day"

Here we are.. behind me is supposed to be the "quarter of century old" milestone.. What r the changes? time in Brussels today is really nice, and it's just another morning.. another day... Hear me well.. Almost a year ago I started a dream job.. and here I am, on the terrace of the 2nd studio i'm in... taken by Alex, she just insisted... well.. u know how kind I am.. but me in picture... but she's just to nice and got this incredible argument "in some years, u'll see this picture of u turning 26...".. so here I am.. I'm Vince, Kmeron, Son, V, 'hon, my best friend, TiVince, beau, whatever the name u will gave me, i'm just the old same pal... A rooster with a shamrock in the heart... I'm the worst newsgiver in the world... everyone will agree on that.. doesn't mean i'm not thinking about a lot of people... Not wanna do "oscar's nite" style here, but of course my parents, that have always been here and supportive, my bro and sister in law, whom had the cutest son ever who's my proud godson... My many many friends, online & offline (should be a post by itself), amongst all those Friends... of course M. as I told u, it's been a year of exchanging mails, growing together, learning life everyday, having jobs we love etc.. will never thank u enough for the mail u send to who was my boss in luxembourg saying "he's just great", look where i am now.... do u really want me to name after dat? the FrF of course, Timu (and i think it u know it), and all of the francofous who passed midnite just wished me a Happy bday... The list is just so long... and so not fair to everyone i would not name... but be sure ur in my heart most of the time, and that it's YOU who help me when i'm down, either physically or mentally (emotionnaly although), U help me daily with what my "I have a condition" life is now... All this sounds so pathetique.. dunno even why i'm writing down all of that, me whose Blog was just like a wasted land because I didn't took the time to take care of it... thanks to anyone who's reading it... sure someone might read it some day... lol... Better stop otherwise this post will be way too long.. just to say thanks to everyone who said Happy bday to me, or not... I don't care that much, I know I don't need u to tell me that to know that from time to time your thinking about for good or stupid reasons.. who really cares.... Let's try to have as a nice year as the one we had... let's try to keep growing up and not be afraid of what tomorrow is made (how subtle it is to speak of my disease isn't it?), enjoy the moment, carpe diem, spread the love and the good spirit.. let me just be a little part of ur life, u'll see how sweet, nice, tender and gentleman I am... "Slainte!" (I would raise my glass if i had one right now...means "cheers" in Irish) ---------------- Now playing: The Pogues - Sally Maclennane

#9489 "My 'I'm not in belgium anymore' day "

alors, je vais qd meme le poster ce post, même si des personnes se sont moqués... (qui?? allons... point de nom ici...) This morning.. quietly.. after a usual day going late in bed, everything was smooth and going pretty well.... At some point, I stopped at my usual "boulangerie".. Friday morning... soon the week end... let's have some "pain au chocolat" will ya... and then happend this incredible thing... didn't had to say a word... the nicely just said "well... one pain au chocolat, as usual???" me... "errrr... well... yeah.. " her "u know at some point we are used to know the faces.." me "yeah well, one day i'll take something else I wish".. remind me of my habits in France... *sighs*, or back in Dublin, with the bakery etc etc... anywhoo... Then on the road to the studio, the news.... "blablalablabla Belgium.. and to finish, our neighbour the French [...]" ouch.. realised I was an alien in here at that precise moment... Once again.. dat's true... Do i wanna go back in France? Am i willingly avoiding my own country?? Hell no... just the way life is right now.... :) un dernier truc.. voulu faire mon répondeur belge.... et là, c le drame.... "si vous voulez.. Blabla.. tapez 1...si vous voulez.. blabla tapez X", jusque là, point de différence avec nos répondeurs franchouillard... c au moment du "pr validez, tapez Dièse"... ici, ce grd moment.. qui se finit dans la plat pays Belge par un "Pr validez, tapez carré", j'avoue, j'ai pas compris au départ, comment on pouvait appeler cela un carré.. et puis après, je me dit qu'ici, on dit "à tantôt", "kicker" (= babyfoot), "chicon" (= endives), et je passe les classques "nonante" et "septante" This is actually the last day of the Studio before the real begining of what will be months of Mayhem.... joke aside, it's going to be the good laugh that will be daily, meetings, nice images etc... and the beginning of actually what I'm made for.. Producing... At nite, going to have a drink with the "usual" CG friends, always a nice moment ^^ Watch it carrefully... a picture of me... incredible.. on any given Friday, anything can happen... ;) Had the pleasure to see a friend from Luxembourg that is now working in the North of France coming in here just for the week end, too bad I'm going to Paris 2Mo... Even if this is going to be a deadly day :) And to finish, what is always a good shot, a Guinness, here taken in an Irish pub, nice ambiance, well poured guinness, might become a new HQ or something like that.... ---------------- Now playing: The Gossip - Fire With Fire
