Tomorrow will mark the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11. The Big Picture has some fantastic photographs taken during the mission.

I was in Lille today. It was cold, rainy and very windy. I didn’t do much sightseeing : only the 2 railway stations and the mall between them, and even then, only in passing. Did I miss much? I’ll probably never know.

it is currently 1:30 AM, and I am not sleeping. Just trying to delete all the crappy music I’ve accumulated in the last few years. I deleted 13GB today, still 455GB in the collection. When I hear some of the things i am deleting I can’t help but think : “What in hell was I thinking then??”. yes it is that bad…

Reading xkcd while waiting for each deletion batch to complete (iTunes does not do too well for large collections and my NAS is not exactly as fast as the lightning either).
