Today, I would like to blog about social networking... In this era of Web2.0 and internet as a Second Life the website for social networking are becoming more and more populars. For those that have no idea of what I'm talking about... well these sites gives you the opportunity to keep in contact with a person you met at a meeting, like LinkedIn that is used more as a business relationship tools. Well this could be boring, but is a good help when you're searching for a job. But there is also some site extremely popular that made you addicted to it ... I'm talking about Facebook. This site give you the possibility to find some lost friends of the elementary school, keep contact with everyone, join network as your feeling and ... maybe ... meeting some new and interesting persons. All this in a fun way, you can even do a food war 0_o or being a zombie and bitting your friends...
You remember I talk about a mysterious girl I seen in Subway this week? Well, I was too shy and been unable to talk to her even for simply telling her that she was beautiful... I was angry about myself and asked me why I was so afraid ... anyway. I was on facebook yesterday, searching how many persons had "The Island" in their favorite movie list, then I see an interesting picture of a nice looking girl but on her pic she were looking sad, so I took all my bravery and decided to send her a quick message telling that she's cute and that I hope this will made her smile... I had nothing to lose at all ! She answered with a nice thanks and a smile. I really don't know why I was so afraid in the first place... The G/F of a friend yesterday said me that I did a mistake when I send the message to the facebook girl... she said me that I should have used an open question so it would have let the doors open for more than one exchange of message... Damn! I'll know for next time... Isn't it by doing mistake that we improve ourself ?

A friend got a MBP 2.4Ghz...
Well well...
I said in my first blog that I was the proud owner of a New and awesome MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz Santa Rosa. I was also happy to tease my friends with it! It works, one of my friend , who was using an iBook before, bough the model that come just over mine ... so it's an MBP 2.4 Ghz Santa Rosa with the 15" screen... the only difference with mine is the .2 added to the processor speed and the price of the beast... but well now he can tease me a bit. Talking about Mac... I'm seeing more and more people using Mac computer these days, it's probably due to the fact that with the Intel processor and the possibility to use Windows on a Mac there is no more reason to NOT buying a Mac. There's always people saying that buying a Mac is always more expensive than buying a branded computer... well they probably never took time to really do a comparison in price vs stuff. In my case the Thinkpad T61 would have also been a good choice, but the look of the laptop, his weight, the software that comes with it and the fact that the T61 is not currently offer in Canada (basing this on the fact that lenovo's canada website doesn't have the model) was all factor that made me choose Apple. Also, I goes directly to the Apple Store in Laval and got the computer directly with a vendor that was looking like a good person... not someone like in FutureShop where you always seems to be someone they could trick to get a better commission... and I'm not sure if I could have easily go to a store to buy a T61?!
Now lets blog about something else, did you ever took the Bus or the Subway and see a beautiful girl but are always to shy to tell her only that you think she is pleasure for the eyes... For me it happens all the time, I don't ever know why I can't stop to think that she will be mad if I tell her ... What the hell I'm thinking? Why would a girl be angry or mad if a guy said her that she is beautiful in a respectable way ? Damn! Next time I'll have to kick my butt and tell her !
Notes: As seen in a comment, the 2.4Ghz version of the MBP have a 256mb video card... so my friend can tease me a little bit more... ;)
Notes 2 : Ah well .... he also got a bigger hard drive... he can tease me... but I'm happy with mine :)

First blog...
Hello everyone, welcome to my blog
I could have made a link between this blog and the HelloWorld thing that you do each time you try to learn software programming. But this would have been stealing of a friends idea.
Well... I'm a French speaking person, so probably you'll notice a lot of errors inside my English text. I'm trying to improve my skills in english writing so I though that making a blog would be a good place to begin. If you see errors inside my text only drop me a line in the comments and tell me how I could improve. It would be kind of you.
Hummm, what should I tell you now ? Maybe who I am ? Ok, like said above, I'm a french speaking person and I live in Canada... well Quebec offcourse ! I'm a student at École de technologie supérieure in Montreal. But being a student was not enough so I decided to give some (a lot) time to a research project called SONIA. Well, I said research project because in many university a project like this one is called a research and get fund for it... but our school think differently... SONIA stands for "Système d'Opération Nautique Intelligent et Autonome" the name is french because we are all french students. The project consist of building an efficient AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) for participating to a competition held in San Diego each year. The AUV and 8 of my teammate are in San Diego right now trying to bring the first place to Montreal. You can see more about this on SONIA's own blog. Enough for the project, lets "blog" about what I'm studying... Technology! I have a DEC in informatics and I started in Software Engineering at the University but could not find everything that I like in it so I switched to IT Engineering which is a lot more technologically related than SE. We learn stuff in High Level networking, Image processing, multimedia database... Image and video compression and management technology inside the enterprise.
Beside this, I'm a Linux fan and now ... I must admit ... a Mac fan. I bough a MacBook Pro 2.2Ghz Santa Rosa and it's one of the best Laptop I ever had! The price was High but it's because I took the 3 years Apple Care and I had to pay for the iPod nano that comes with it. I'm now so a Mac fan that I surprised myself listening the keynotes ... Well Leopard, the next version of OSX will be pretty cool... but there's not much features that did not exist already in Linux. Apple is putting Space in front line and said that it's an INNOVATIVE feature ... bullshit I had virtual desktop on my Linux box since 2001 and this is only because I began to play with linux in 2001... In my opinion what will be the best features is Time Machine it looks pretty awesome! I can't wait to try it !
Well that's enough for now ... I must return to work. I'm doing an internship at Info-Electronics System at Dorval building a Verification and Validation Tracking System using Java and GWT
