Earlier today, Thomas spelt cookie crumbs all over my keyboard. I waited until he went outside to retaliate and repair the outrage I had been suffering. It took him some time to get things sorted out afterwards...
Whether or not he manages to stand up all day long, JV might want to try the walkstation next :-)

JV, one of my colleagues, recently talked to Maxime Valy from Xamance who sold him on the idea to work without sitting (cf. http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1001-standing-versus-sitting). Let's see how long he'll stand :-)
Up to tonight, an old laptop of mine hosted my guillaumelerouge.com website. The laptop was located at the bottom of a cupboard in my room. It overheated a lot, thus its fan kept working almost all the time. Over the week-end, I noticed than fan activity seemed to have increased (since it had gotten much louder). When I got back from work today, I heard the fan suddenly stop working. Long live the fan.
Thus I got stuck with an unused domain name. In order not to lose too much search engine visibility, I had to replace the website as fast as possible. To do so, I chose using posterous.com, a service my colleague Raffaello mocked during the afternoon as "a tool that would be useful to spread viruses around the web". I definitely not intend to use this website to spread computer viruses, but if it helps spreading my ideas I honestly won't mind :-)
So far I've been quite impressed by the simplicity and helpfulness of the system. No frills, all features working as expected so far, autoposting to both facebook & twitter enabled, domain-name configured, no hassle. I would have liked a bit more control over the site's layout, though I like its minimalist look. At least this way content will be forced to be king :-)
This post will also serve me as a test of the autoposting to twitter / facebook feature. Let's see how it goes...
