I made up my mind: I won't return to Besançon for the week-end. Young P will be there and I just refuse to share T's… A & D had already agreed to host me, in anticipation, but I have the feeling I'll feel ackward at their place. Plus coping with little B waking up at 06:30 AM and screaming for his first bottle? Thanks but no thanks.

The banner is sent, along with the text (merely copied/pasted from a letter I received last week in which I also found a wristband, orange… colleagues thought for a moment I was involved in the Ukrainian dispute over presidency…). I don't expect it to be published before this week-end though, I'd be surprised if it was; I'd be surprised if 'he' did not forget ^_^ Oh well! We'll see.
On a different matter, though, I'm afraid, rather related to the matter above, from a video I managed to download here at work, I found someone I only had seen old pics of disturbingly skinny and 'grey'… as if the disease was taking a toll *sigh*

First picture is for merchandises through Cafepress:
I've already been said ALC4 doesn't mean anything to people, so I'll probably either use AidsLifeCycle.org logo or plainly write what ALC is short for. Other suggestions are more than welcome, I've worked on this picture intuitively…
Second picture is the banner I intend to post (if allowed) on websites:
On a personal note now: T and I had, not a fight but definitely an argument Friday's evening. It was rather late, had a few drinks and I was tired. It happened to be about money, again: T was not happy about the way we were operating (though it was he who originally thought about it)… some of the things he said then kind of hit hard and brought tears to my eyes. I've figured things the wrong way and just wanting too much wasn't the right way to make them be…
I don't know…

I just finished editing and publishing my first online sale.
I definitely need to improve it (since there's no mention of a relationship to Aids Life Cycle), I used my image, same as the one the my homepage AidsLifeCycle.org is hosting, just for practice.
It is rather fun though prices are way out of line (almost $13 for a bloddy mug!). I don't expect to sell that many (if any ^_^). I also added the link to google database; whatever comes out of doing so is good.

Orginally from the West part of this country (where I've lived the 20 first years of my life) I was not very much accustomed to accountering many foreigners (save those who spent their holidays in Britanny). I definitely moved to the East part, only 50 miles West of Switzerland, in 89, the year the Berlin wall fell symbolizing the opening of the gate towards the West for the whole eastern block. Was kind of cool to see trabans in the streets…
15 years later, Châlon being closer to the North-South axis, european backbone of transportations, and the road I use to go to work having a filling station dedicated to trucks, I see, every morning, drivers awakening in their cabins after they've spent the night there, away from their families, alone in a country where nobody could possibly understand them. Same situation when I go back home in the evening, some venturing to ask directions, a paper in the hands with just a few words in bad english (french would be a luxury). Less and less german or dutch, I can only guess now where those modern slaves are from: Hungary, Poland, Czecoslovakia, Romania…

I'm asked a banner advertising my participation in next year ALC… My desk PC is still packed and put away in the kitchen (with the rest of my stuff for that matter). All I have in my Laptop is Paintbrush. No Photoshop, no graphic palette… It'll have to wait until next week-end; T has everything I need plus he can draw.

MMMmmmmm been just yelled at… Not in the proper sense of the term but my ears still hurt from words I've been said: I took upon myself to proceed with a job on a particular element our customer says he never gave the green light about. In absence of guide lines and clear answer in addition to not having any particular reason to block why would I prevent things to continue?

I was far from enthousiast when Depeche Mode's last album, ULTRA (at least among the most recent) was released. Unlike the one just before which really made a huge hit this one was merely OK. Though I consider myself a fan of the band, having followed the group evolutions almost from the very beginning, I'm also critical at times.
Strange how the bottom line sticks out: right from the very first seconds it reminded me of a jingle of a TV program I used to watch religiously as a child: la vie des animaux by Frédéric Rossif and Claude Darget. B&W minimal animation, owls and wolves screams over, yet, synthetic music (could it be a Moose keyboard?): I was fascinated and glued to the magical screen.
