...welcome to Gatineau

I accepted a job offer from Xandros to work in their development team based in Ottawa, Ontario. So I moved to Gatineau, Quebec, which is just accross the Ottawa River.

In 5 days we managed to pack and move all our stuff to our new home in Gatineau (with help from movers), to acquire a much needed vehicle (mass transit is mostly non-existant, unlike in Montreal) and other needed stuff.

ADSL is back online with a little advance, but with a little glitch: I should congratulate Magma tech support for solving the issue quickly (unlike for Rodrigo with a different ISP). I'm quite impressed, as I usually have really bad experiences with tech support in general. My servers are now working fine.

Goodbye Montreal

So it is now official. I have accepted a job offer outside of Montreal, so I must leave the island behind to go there.

I have become a specialist in book packing, etc. and I realize I definitely own too much books. Two moves in less than a year (my stuff arrived from France last January).

This server will be offline for a few days starting Sunday, and I might be aswell as they are all dependent on how fast the ADSL service will be reconnected. Expect it to be back later.
