Long time since i filled in my diary, but things has changed quite a bit and i didn't really have time.

I found an internship here in Sophia in the company where i worked this summer. Nice place, nice guys, i think i will have fun :-)

I'm still hacking that awful code (i'm on the way of cleaning it BTW), but that project is boring... I'm looking forward to beginning the internship, and seeing mathieu when he'll come back to France.

I wonder if we'll have patents on software or not here in Europe : the race is not won :-( If you want more informations about that, you can go to http://petition.eurolinux.org.

Did some coding today : i'm working on collaborative filtering for my school. Quite interesting! But the code i get from my teacher is awful C++ :( I spent the whole afternoon to see variables like :

int something;
and so on. That's a great name for a variable, isn't it? I remember a web page summarizing the 100 things to do to make code unreadable and unmaintainable. I should find this url and give it to him.

Now, it's time to go back home and see my wonderful wife :)

God! I'm certified to the journeyer level... I thought i'd get it after much more time. Anyway, thanks to people who certified me.
