People have difficulties to imagine how chaotic can be the Chinese Internet and how hard it can be to survive when you are a 老外... I will teach you the secret tricks I learned from Chuck Norris himself to fight such an ennemy. Read more »

我的自行车坏掉了吗 ? Papoula, papoula, mecha-bike papoula !

No, 白酒 did not drove me crazy to the point I bended my bike with my bare hands. This is actually my last acquisition in Shanghai ; the MECHA-BIKE (dramatic tone), most known as a folding bike (but mecha-bike sounds better). Read more »

小熊很忙, finally.

I have now been working for an english-speaking magazine for about a month and a half, and I must say I am pretty satisfied with my position ; a lot of thrilling challenges with a quite wide communauty. I will tell you more about this when it got mature enough.

I can already give a snapshot of what it looks like from my office :

1 point on four (getting a good job), but I am working on the other three...

From Dark Teddy to 小熊 !

You will notice these next few days several bugs on this website ; I just upgraded the managing system and it should take a while before everything is back to normal. The good news is that I will finally be able to post a lot of articles that were waiting for this update and finally validate your comments and account subscribtions ; more stuff about my life in China is coming, stay tuned.

1. I get a good job in Shanghai
2. I finish all my current programming projects and publish it
3. I get a fair level in Chinese
4. I had read all my technology related books about usability, UI design, Python and XUL

Teddy is learning...

A few new features here ; now Dark Teddy (this lovely psychopath look fluff on the right side) should be able to talk. You want to test it ? Ok :

Convinced ? I also added a Shanghai section with some maps and addresses. Hope you will appreciate the use of SmartShanghai flash maps to localize the addresses in the skate section... Next thing to do : categorize my blog posts.

Remz ? Mei you. Razors ? Mei you.

Shanghai drives me crazy sometimes. We here have a 70 Million RMB skatepark (more than 8 Million US$) but no correct skateshop. You sure can find some boards and fitness skates at the Century Park subway station but nothing really serious, as far as I know. Read more »

Surrounded !

I had some free time recently so that I could adjust one or two things here ; you can now find the weather of Shanghai and a gallery (which will be progressively filled in).

A new fur for my teddy...

The new skin has been uploaded. There are still a few errors with Internet Explorer due to the use of the PNG file format on some of the pictures. I usually try to avoid the GIF format in my works but it seems I won't have the choice here.
This skin should be more readable than the previous one. I am now going to start uploading articles...
