Underachievement Unlocked
My life: a lot of potential and very little realization.
Very few posts on this blog, as well. But you might find some entertaining stuff if you go back a few years in the archives.

Web is Pink article on the site for Têtu Magazine
I wanted Web is Pink to get some media coverage, but be careful what you with for: it’s not just the app, but me, and my face, on the website of the biggest French gay magazine — and not just as a throwaway news bit, but featured prominently on the home page. (This post’s draft offered a larger version of my picture, but I just had to replace it with a screenshot of their home page. And I was very happy to do it; I don’t enjoy seeing my face around here.)
If you’ve registered on Web is Pink (which is, since the launch of the iPhone app, very officially and definitely renamed to No Pic No Dial for the French version) and you haven’t logged in for a while, or if you hadn’t bothered registering yet, it’s time to… well… I’d say it’s time to get back over there, but that may not apply: the app was already booming for Paris, and this article ought to help for the rest of France (and maybe Québec? no idea) but it’s not going to get many people from other countries to sign up. Oh, well, it’s a start.
Thanks to Ydikoi for the photo — it wasn’t easy, I hadn’t made self-portraits in a while, and I particularly don’t enjoy being photographed (control freak that I am). Hrm. Damn, hadn’t noticed that the smaller you resize the photo, the less friendly I look.

La Poste vient de se décider à me délivrer (serendipity or precognition?) dix lettres datées de fin juillet. Dont le chèque d'un client.
Well, there you go, blog redesign finished for now. And not worth a blog post.
Okay, I gave the flat grays a try for my blog redesign, and it doesn't work. Photoshopped shadows, I'm coming back to you.
I need to repost this here. "I wouldn't trust MobileMe to sync my boat." OMG I'm so witty I can't believe I breathe the same air as you.

Looks like I sold for roughly $120 of iPhone apps this month. (Won't bother calculating exactly, Apple makes it too hard.)
Et un bol d'eau bouillante renversé par terre, un.

Didn't wanna risk turning my computers back on too soon after power came back, couldn't resist more than ten min. Or two that felt like ten?
Fuck, power is out. But I thought I paid my bills! Plus, cutting power for the whole neighborhood to get back at me is damn inefficient.

Yes, the camera adds ten pounds... and eight of them go straight to my face.

Why do ladybugs keep coming to my room to die!

Bu beaucoup trop de Coca ces trois derniers jours. Saleté de Franprix qui ne vend de la Saint-Yorre qu'un mois sur deux. Comprendrai jamais.
Oh, come on! I'm already gonna have to do a laundry again?
C'est con, mais à chaque fois que je vois quelqu'un héler à grands gestes un taxi occupé, j'ai une envie de meurtre.

Fuck, I can't believe I bought marshmallows. Why on earth would I do that.
J'ai mis un participe passé en "-er" dans le texte d'aide intégré à @unicodeapp

That made me realize I want to move out of here. Wanna pay my debts, sell my iMac, buy a MacBook, and travel.

Je me sentirais beaucoup moins lourd après les sushi si je n'avais pas des scrupules idiots à commander du Coca en accompagnement.

Hum, c'est vrai que c'est terriblement bon, la Haagen-Dasz spéculos.

“Le clochard de la Poste du Louvre.”
Je croise quelqu'un qui parle sur MSN avex son plan cul sur son iPhone et je ne pense pas à lui fourguer Nopicnodial. #isuckatthis
Would you kindly do me a favor and follow @unicodeapp so it doesn't look so much like a spammer on the follow notices?
Il fait trop chaud pour se servir de son cerveau.

Damn you, Nurse Jackie writers. So many upcoming sleepless nights for just 45 seconds you needed to fill.
The problem with being broke is how often you have to do the goddamn dishes.
Must... stay... awake... I don't wanna wake up at 10am.

Can't decide whether buying bubbly water would be unreasonable. Tap water particularly doesn't cut it with that temperature.

— Qu'est-ce que vous appelez de l'Advil normal ?
— Celui qui est marqué juste "Advil" et n'est pas à 4 euros les 14, espèce de conne.
Fuck. I knew I'd break my electric shaver if I took it to Smallville with me.
13 aug.
Je crois bien que j'ai le ventre plus plat qu'avant de partir pour Smallville. L'effet retard va tuer.

Oops, just realized I think I forgot to turn off Adium before I left. And VNC doesn't want to work for some reason.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think my saucepan is leaking.
Where the fuck is everyone.

Unicode 1.0.1 is live: spammed French blogs, spammed English blogs again for good measure, and cleaned up my inbox. Phew.
Pas fan des nouilles Nissin, et je pue l'huile de sésame maintenant.

En fait tout a commencé à partir en couille au moment où Monoprix a arrêté de vendre les pinces de crabe en surimi de Coraya.
