I haven’t been writing much lately, I must say that our little boy doesn’t leave us a lot of free time. It’s not that he is a specially difficult baby I think, but there is always something to do with him, especially since he doesn’t sleep a lot during the day.
But it is great anyway! […]

Wow, what a week we just had!.. On Friday August 4th, 2006, at 7 am, our son Henri was born, and since it has been great moments of happiness. We have fallen in love at first sight with this amazingly cute little boy. It is quite difficult to find words to describe what it is […]

In Estonia you can drive like an idiot in the city and put lives of children and woman in danger and you will never get fined. But park one time wrong and you will get immediately a parking ticket…
In Estonia the parking enforcement is sub-contracted to the all-powerful security company Falck. Falck security agents are […]

Today my grandfather is 90 years old. This is an amazing age for someone who had to go through so many things. Like most men of his generation, he was a soldier during World War II, first in the French army then later he was forcibly conscripted into the German army - like many men […]

A few weeks ago I was on the radio. This time it’s the biggest daily economic newspaper in France, Les Echos, that has an article with some quotes from a long talk I had with Frédéric Therin, a French journalist who came to Tallinn for Estonia and Skype.
The article cannot be accessed for free on […]

Henri, our little boy, is not yet here, but it shouldn’t be long anymore. He’s “cooked” now, and can come when he feels like (in theory on July 27th). Ingrid is doing fine, even if the hot weather we have currently in Estonia makes it a bit more difficult.

Our new apartment is looking very good […]

A few weeks ago a journalist from RFI came to Tallinn for a reportage about Skype. RFI (Radio France International) is the French international radio that you can listen to everywhere in the world (there is also such a TV channel, TV5).
I was a bit afraid to hear how it sounded, but it came out […]

The sun is back in Estonia and we are nicely getting close to the end of this pregnancy. In a bit more than two months we will have to share the new apartment with the boy (we still don’t have a name, so it’s still “the boy” for now).
Pregnancy has been going well until now, […]

I borrowed a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet for the weekend. I had read mixed things about the device, so I wanted to make my own opinion. And the device has an attractive geeky touch, running Linux.
First I must say the Nokia 770 looks nice. It’s slim, light and seems to have the right size. The […]

Ingrid is now in her 21st week and everything is going well. Last week we learned it that it was going to be a boy. People generally imagine I’m specially happy about it, but the truth is I didn’t really care if it was going to be a boy or a girl. But I was […]
