Holiday

noun UK (US vacation) a time, often one or two weeks, when someone does not go to work or school but is free to do what they want, such as travel or relax.1

Although it will obviously not affect the frequency of my posts, I’ll be on holiday for the rest of the week. I’m going to Poitiers to visit the Futuroscope2, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Thanks to R@f for the idea and the organisation.

I’m going with him and a friend of his. We’re leaving by tomorrow’s TGV of 9:16 and, on the return route, we’ll be taking a detour through Disneyland Resort Paris2 because it’s a good idea.

Paléo 2003

I just got back from Paléo Festival. Alanis Morisette played from 23:30 to 1:00. It was quite alright, although the sound was a good bit louder than needed. There were of course a lot of people but for once we couldn’t say they were crammed together. And this is worth noting.

Note to self: parking the car in Lausanne, going to Nyon by train and returning by bus is a convenient alternative to taking the car all the way through the trafic jams.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Coding Ninjas, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
