Moving…

Monday, August 27th, 2007

For those who don’t know, or haven’t guessed with the new graphics of the blog, I’m quitting Britain for now. It has been great, I’ve enjoyed my time here, both at the University of Hull last year, and in Cambridge until now. I’m moving out of Cambridge next Thursday; and after a break around France (and maybe England) I’ll go to Barcelona, where I will start my new job at the end of September at Fluendo, where Kaleo works. I’ll be working on the Elisa media center and on the pigment library. The project is very promising, and the city is awesome, I’m definitely looking forward to it :)

Gotta learn Spanish and Catalan…

Something you don’t have in England…

Pain de campagne
Real bread !

as well as things such as the bread knife or the bread board pictured here :)

You can find this in mostly any bakery in France, and there are a lot of these (maybe as many as pubs in UK, though not as many as bars in brittany).
