Oh, er... It's going to be both a blog and a serious CMS for all the
articles I (and a few friends) have written, critiques, opinions,
interviews, etc. My personal projects always end up being pharaonic because
I use them to learn more all the time. The redo was supposed to take a few
weeks and it's been several months in the making... (eventually there's
even gonna be a photo gallery, of course)

Four french words. :-)

See? See? I yet have to see a papuan email, too...

My point is that we all go preaching to all our friends (I know _I_ do) to
get connected because it's a means of expression, a way to be in touch with
the whole world, a cultural vector, etc etc.

[as a side note I'm not even sure one should say "I preach to someone to do
something" -- it shows my limits I guess]

And then my parents get connected. I'm happy. And then again I realize that
most of the content is in english. And my father doesn't read english. So
he goes "what's the use". And I feel stupid all at once.
