OFF: Living in a digital-less world
« on: August 26, 2002, 07:33:08 am »

Hello folks,

Good to be back after a rather long time away from mice & keyboards.
I haven't read all the message on the interact yet but I'v noticed
people are already talking about V9 ! I've also noticed some changes on the web site. (Jim you finally hired Mick J. on the JRiver crew, congrats ! ;)

For the past six weeks (trip for my company plus holidays) I had decided to try and survive away from cell phones, computers and the internet. I only took a mp3 player and a digital camera with me for my different summer trip around Europe and France. I wanted to see if there's a life outside digital technology !
Man ! the first few days were difficult, but after a week or two I got used to this way of life. Just imagine : no watch, no PDA and cell phone, no email to check and reply, no computer crash. I could have lived this way a bit longer but my holidays were finished and I missed the fine folks at mediajukebox.com. When I came back home, the first thing I wanted to do was to download all the pictures I had taken to my computer but when I switched it on : BLACK SCREEN ! (my mother-board had died while I was away) On a normal work period I would have been full of anger, but after these relaxing computer-less holidays I just took it the easy way :) I'll fix that later or... never :)

Thanks computers at work are still working so that I can read the MJ interact.

Anyway, relaxed, cool & happy to be here again.
BTW any news from Zevele's book ?
And King, by now your library should be more than 200 k files ?

Bonjour à tout le monde !

Christian,
Welcome Home!  I've been wondering where you were.  Sounds like a nice way to drop off the edge of the earth.

Where did you go?  When will we see the pictures?

I was gone for about 10 days to Colorado.  Pictures are here:

The book is in a bus station in Dakar.  Took a wrong turn.

BOTR (Book on the run) is in Dakar ! Good news, it has finally cross the atlantic !

I was in Holland and Germany for work then in several places in France. Mainly where my folks are (Lyon, Grenoble, Aix en Provence, Narbonne, Alsace) then in Nice.
I mainly took picture of some folks, friends & places I had not seen for a long time. I also went back to my home town. I walked alone a whole sunday going back to places I used to go when I was a little boy. Many memories came back... souvenirs, souvenirs !

I have to fix my home computer before I can upload some pictures but I'll try and do that soon

Thank you Zev,

In fact I will be going to Africa next february/march.

If you come around here, drop me a line we'll try and set up something :)

Now, I have to check all the new stuff both in MJ8.0 (I 'm still on MJ8.314 or so) and at work !

have a nice day
