Jb in a nutshell

It’s been five days since I’m back from Hong-Kong, where I was attending the db4o Developer Conference, and I had wonderful time there. After such a nice trip, it’s really hard to be excited by the idea of returning home, in Mulhouse, France.

You’re welcome to visit my flickr set for this trip

Now I have to catch up with work, pending patches, and life :)

The last year for me has been pretty amazing. I’ve created my own personal company, got a wonderful position at db4objects, Inc., met and made friends with very nice people, traveled around the world, worked on very exciting projects, and the next year looks as exciting as the previous one was.

Next week, I’m going to Hong-Kong for a db4o meeting. In February, I’ll be speaking about Mono and db4o at Microsoft’s Techdays in Paris. I’ll also be at FOSDEM, where I’ll have a lightning talk about db4o. In April, I’ll be visiting my mentor, co-worker, and friend Rodrigo in Brazil, so we can go to the International Open-Source Forum. And that’s only for the first half of 2007.

So what more could I expect for the next year? Maybe it’s time for me to take care of other people’s expectations?

I wish you all a tremendous year 2007.

Sometimes, Paris can get really nice.

Do you know that I’ve bought an EOS 350D a few days before Canon announced the 400D? I’m lost.
