Introduction

Hello! Before starting to navigate my homepage, please read below about the different sections available to guide the rest of your visit. This page is available only in English even though my native tongue is French. This restriction is due to the fact that maintaining two set of pages is a lot of trouble and that English, the dominant language on the net, can reach the maximum number of people.

About Me

Here you will find information about me, my activities, some personal rant and my computer setup.

Résumé

This section contains the usual up-to-date résumé all good employers should read. Both French and English versions are available.

My Programs

Various applications I have programmed are available in this section. I have mostly programmed for OS/2 until now. However, I plan on learning more on the Win32 APIs and X Windows now that I master C/C++ and Java.

Anime

Beautiful and sometimes cute japanese multimedia animation has become in the past years one of my passions. Find more about why anime are so cool in this section.

Alternative Computing

Tired of the usual computer "BLT" (Windows, Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer) ? I have dedicated a whole section to talk about alternative applications, mainly operating systems and office suites. See what else what else is available for your computer, today! Why wait for, maybe, tomorrow?

Recommendations

This section contains recommendations for various software that I use, mostly in OS/2.

Programming

When I find neat programming stuff, obscure programming techniques or non-standard library functions, I will make them available in this section. Take a look! I will be glad if you find something useful in the pack.

Links

The intention of this section is not to list all the links I have in my bookmark folder. I have documented major sites and repositery sites where I am sure you will be able to find complentary information to what is found on my site. The best way to find information from scratch is still by using robot search engines like AltaVista and Excite.

I only made sure all the information is readable and accessible with these browsers while trying to make it look right. Different browsers being different, I am only able to assure that everything will work with Netscape Navigator. Therefore, not all the features on this page will show on all browsers and the formatting might not be correct. Use the font you like. I prefer Swiss/Helvetica. For Windows users, Microsoft named it Verdana. Have fun!
