			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To feel oneself intellectually wither is the worst of things I&#8217;ve encounter in my, <em>still young</em>, life. I cannot pin-point the last time I went bouldering, or the &#8216;new&#8217; restaurant I&#8217;ve discovered, or the last book I&#8217;ve read, or the last software I&#8217;ve discovered that really changed the way I work&#8230; My brain &#038; body development has been stagnant for months.<br />
<br />
Well, at the price of being behind schedule on invoicing and others administrative duties, I&#8217;ve renewed with myself this weekend.<br />
<br />
I&#8217;ve started with a good meal @ Chez Lucien, in Ottawa, were we met some friends. This place really look like &#8216;Les 3 brasseurs&#8217; of Montréal, while still being a bit less commercial.<br />
<br />
I Followed by a &#8220;Chapters&#8221; books frenzy which resulted in :<br />
<br />
The raw shark texts, by Steven Hal, and The White Tiger by Indian author Aravind Adiga. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yé ! J&#8217;ai une nouvelle série de livres qui sont arrivées aujourd&#8217;hui d&#8217;Amazon. Je me sens un peu mal d&#8217;être leur client, étant consultant pour une belle petite librairie de Montréal et ayant été trésorier de la coopérative de Polytechnique (2 ans sur le conseil d&#8217;administration). Quoi qu&#8217;il en soit : la connaissance avant tout.<br />
<br />
&#8220;<em>Guerrilla Capacity Planning</em>&#8221; de Neil J. Gunther ; une référence dans le milieu. Dump strategic planning, go for tactic! L&#8217;horizon descend de quelques années à quelques mois. Très mathématique&#8230;<br />
<br />
&#8220;<em>The Black Swan</em>&#8221; de Nassim Nicholas Taleb ; The impact of the highly improbable &#8211; comment les cas limites &#038; les événements improbables sont à la base de l&#8217;évolution humaine.<br />
<br />
&#8220;<em>The girl with the dragon tattoo</em>&#8221; de Stieg Larsson ; heu.. conseillé par Amazon, le nom m&#8217;a accroché ;-)<br />
<br />
&#8220;<em>Anathem</em>&#8221; de Neal Stephenson ; ok, je triche, il y a une semaine que je l&#8217;airecu lui &#8211; je voulais simplement vous en recommender la lecture. </p>

<p>Meanwhile., I&#8217;ve been reading &#8220;<strong>The Curious Incident of the dog in the night-time</strong>&#8220;, by Mark Haddon. Weird book. Should be the kind teachers ask you to read in english litterature classes&#8230;. which bring me to the fact that I want to watch &#8220;Finding Forester&#8221;. </p>
<p>Humfff&#8230;. I&#8217;ll go fix a backup script instead.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Après &#8220;<strong>The Cathedral &#038; The Bazaar</strong>&#8221; de Eric S. Raymond, &#8220;<strong>The Success of Open Source</strong>&#8221; de Steven Weber et &#8220;<strong>Free as in Freedom</strong>&#8221; de Sam Williams, je progresse sur mon parcours de relecture de ces classiques avec &#8220;<strong>Code 2.0</strong>&#8221; de Lawrence Lessig.</p>
<p>J&#8217;ai été relativement chanceux d&#8217;avoir trouver ce dernier chez Indigo au centre ville (de Montréal), sinon, c&#8217;est surement un live sur la photographie qui aurait passer le seuil de ma bibliothèque. Pas mauvais en sois, mais moins intéressant à terme. </p>
<p>J&#8217;ai un peu hate de voir les modifications qui ont été apportées en rapport à la première version &#8211; dont je n&#8217;ai pas souvenir d&#8217;avoir vu depuis quelques années, ce qui laisse présager que je l&#8217;ai passer à très long terme a quelqu&#8217;un. </p>
