My fixed term contract at JP Morgan was changed to a permanent contract. I will therefore stay longer in Geneva's area. I should not change my address in the near term.

Fireworks and lakes
By Quetzal on Wednesday 15 August 2007, 22:04
On Saturday July 21st, Anaïs and I were at Bourget du Lac. There was an event that people liking the Middle Age should appreciate: la Médiévales des Dames. This was to celebrate an historical event where ambassadors from the Milan's Duke went to this place to ask for a marriage with the daughter of Amédée VIII, Savoie's Duke. There were activities and reenactments. The day ended up with fireworks launched from the Bourget lake.
August 4th, we did it again, but this time at Annecy: we assisted to the Fête du Lac. Fireworks were together with music and laser lights. The show lasted around 45 minutes. There were more than 40 000 persons. I really enjoyed all these moments. To go back to Annemasse, we had to wait until 2:00 in the morning.
August 11th, the same kind of event happened at Geneva. This time, I was in Lyon...
When I will find my pictures, I will post them.

Some new features for the website design
By Quetzal on Friday 9 March 2007, 18:29
I have just made slight modifications on the site. It was something I wanted to carry out but that I was constantly delaying.
These are the few new features:
- background color similar to the blog's
- navigation colors similar to the blog's
- menu moved from left to right
They are details, but this might allow a better coherence between the Website and the blog.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please contact me or leave some words below.

Stories from the past
By Quetzal on Friday 2 March 2007, 19:07
For you who can read French, I have added in the Nouvelles section old posts. They are archive from my former website. I read them all again and they remind me when I was in California: from my course subscription to my hunt for an internship. I am a bit disappointed though because I could not find what I have ben writting when I was in Idaho.

Holidays in South of France
By Quetzal on Thursday 11 January 2007, 19:43
We celebrated the New Year with our neighbors and Mohamed at Gruissan, near Narbonne. Therefore, Anaïs and I decided to spend our holidays in this region.
We chose to stay 3 nights in a chambre d'hôtes, near Perpignan. If you do not know what this concept is, please, leave a comment. We picked Le Magnolia at Ille sur Têt. We were warmly welcomed by Hélène and Pierre! They shared with us their knowledge about the region and they pointed us the sites to visit. We had one dinner with them and it was excelent! If you go around this place, I recommend to stop over there.
When we were at Ille sur Têt, we visited the Rodès' castle. We saw the Serrabonne abbey and the Montalba village, among other things. We also went to Perpignan and to Collioure. To sum up, we did a brief tour to the French Catalonia. We enjoyed it a lot! We did not see everything, of course, but the point was also to have some rest!
When we came back, we were thinking of stopping at Toulouse, but it was a long way to go. We went to Montpellier instead.
As usual, pictures are on Flickr. To see them, check this page.

More pictures on Flickr (2)
By Quetzal on Saturday 18 November 2006, 12:17
I have added again pictures on my Flickr account. This time, I put pictures from the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas and I also uploaded with some from Lyon. I hope to get images from Paris soon.
As I have said in the earlier post, I tested the map feature. I find it well done but it takes time. Therefore, I suggest to localize pictures when you upload them on Flickr.

My first soccer game
By Quetzal on Thursday 2 November 2006, 23:44
Yesterday, I went to my first soccer game in a stadium. I have been invited by a friend from Renault Trucks to see a Champions League game: OL against Dynamo from Kiev. It was very cold in the Gerland stadium and I was upset not to have taken my gloves. From my side (Virage Sud), the atmosphere was not so exciting compared to Virage Nord. There were more than 40,000 spectators. Talking about game quality, I was deceived from Lyon's team even if they won this game.
