Update from ENPC

I just hacked into a private wifi network (thanks WEP…) here in the ENPC (“Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées”) where I have a week of exams going on.

The trip from Metz to Paris was awful I was really loaded…. sweating is good for the body they say so no problem there. Actually one more embarassing problem is that my oral english really sucks and so my english exam didn’t go too well :/ We’ll see…. I’ll enventually do an audioblog to help it.

I’m off to work on Physics now ! On june 30th all this sh*** will be over.. I can’t wait for it.

Can’t wait for Lenny Kravitz LIVE !

Tonight I’ve VIP access for the Lenny Kravitz show here in Amnéville… It’s gonna be GREAT (I hope) !!!

I’m also moving from my flat and heading back to my grandma’s house for 2 months … Quite a change :-)

I’ve also uploaded some pictures taken in our Luxembourg office.

“We live in a beautiful world”

Damnit, Coldplay is actually right about this !

Everything happended today. I had my exam results, with a 13.3 average mark I’ll enter my dream school : ENSIMAG (website sucks). jamendo got featured on freenews which slashdotted our servers for a while. We got 400+ concurrent BitTorrent downloads ! We agreed to hire an old friend of mine to be the tour manager of the upcoming jamendo tour ! Okay we hired him for free for the moment but that’s still HUGE ! Did I tell you I received my new 5-string bass ? What can I say ???? peace ! love ! (jamendo !)

The bottom line is : today, I’m happy :-)

My first n°5 : press review :-)

Thanks to jamendo I’ve just been featured on two major french media : a photo in Rolling Stone (a famous music magazine) and an interview on Ratiatum (biggest french P2P news website).

That’s quite cool, now that I am a true celebrity, I wonder why I haven’t received a bunch of phone calls yet ;-)
