It was cloudy but with some sunny breaks. I took some nice pictures today.

Week-End Update

Stéphane Lee — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 12:25:43 +0000

I think I’ve never been so eager for the week-end to come. Although winter is coming soon, we are getting some Indian summer. 14° C for today but with light rain.

A more perfect world

I don’t believe that he is any leftist or socialist. He’s more rightist than Sarkozy for example. He’s pragmatic and has the the big picture in mind. Tomorrow, they’ll end 8 years of idiocy. And that’s why:

Luck

I don’t know if this is bad luck, excessive confidence or simply greed. After the lucky streak, he must say to himself that he can win all the way up. I cannot really blame him for trying his luck and saying no deal. I reckon I’m the luckiest guy these days!

It’s a game

For some, I can break their nerves. But I realise that I am a ball catcher rather than a ball pitcher. I can be a good sparring partner. So, pitch me a ball or throw me a punch.

Couleurs automnales

That’s why I like living here.

Mauritius Summer Time (MUST; UTC+5)

Stéphane Lee — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:47:55 +0000

Mauritius switches to summer time this Sunday. At 2am, it will be 3am. There will be 10 hours of difference between EDT and MUST. Here, we are switching to EDT a week after (Sunday 2nd Nov).

All systems should use UTC for time keeping purposes. You can then convert back to local time when needed.

Intellectual challenge, not intellectually challenged

Stéphane Lee — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:20:58 +0000

I like to meet people who have a similar mind set like mine and share common values. Some say opposites attract but I don’t think so (tried it). Looking in the same direction is better than looking in opposite directions. Wasting my time arguing every day is not my cup of tea. Please poke me (again). Thanks.
