Busy as I was, I realized I didn’t blog about my recent employment change. I left Yoono 2 months ago to join a company called Zenexity (site in French). It’s really cool because after Flock and Yoono that were very similar (consumer oriented/social mashup/Mozilla technologies), I get to work on really different stuff: more server-side, …

There’s a New Gang in Paris
Thanks to my friend Manish, my homies just moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Paris. Each one of them successfully passed all immigration checks at CDG airport, and they will soon be ruling the 17th ward. All my homies were come from a vending machine in Fry’s, some in Palo Alto and others …

Japanese Input on S60 Phones
