I. Be prepared

Always be protected, Avast is the shit, and it's free. Dont let viruses ruin your e-life.

II. I google, you google, we google, they google,

Know how to use it, because it is very functionnal, it's like a guide, a mentor in the cyber space.

III. Put your favorites on

I always have a toolbar of favorites websites like Deezer.com, Allocine.fr, Windows live email, Transilien.fr (in case of a strike), and one to my bank account. In one click, you can peacefully surf on the Internet, right from your bed.

IV. Equipment

You need more than a PC to go on the Internet. Make sure that you have all you need to share your life with people. SO here is my toolbox: a microphone, a camera, a webcam, and an mp3.

V. Do not open what you don't know

Very basic rule, but whatever you do and wherever you go, do not click everywhere and make sure that you know where everything comes from.

VI. Be creative


Choose your words carefully for your passwords

VII. Be open-minded

There are a lots of things you don't know on the Internet. So keep your eyes open because you'll never know what you will stumble upon.

VIII. Protect your privacy

Nothing stays buried for ever, especially when it happens on the Internet. So when you go on facebook or other social networks, be aware of how much of yourself you expose to a world.

IX. Teach what you know

It could be kids, it could be your grand parents, a lots of people don't know how to use the Internet. They are scared to do something wrong, to do something that cannot be undone. What you learn on the Internet, you got to pass it along.

X. Learn to live without it

The Internet is a great tool for communication. But do not be fooled, nothing can replace a real conversation, a real face to face, a real smile. Don't forget that there is a world out there.

That would be my choice. Look at it. It's a beauty.


A new era

What's up big bloggers?


I heard the new ebooks are coming out soon! Some of you are skeptical, and some are not. I have to say that I am pretty excited to hold that beauty of technology in my hands, just to try it out.

I have not read a book from cover to cover for a long time. Maybe books are not marketed well enough these days. Maybe I lost faith. But I doubt that. When I see a room full of books I just want to read them all, but I never know what to pick.

Maybe my passion for literature will rise up from the ashes and I will discover boatloads of books. That is why I hope.

We are bound to try the ebook, one day or another, someone will hand one to you, and you will have to try it. Maybe you won't like it at first and you won't buy one. But if that baby becomes popular, you'll have to adopt it. Cellphones started that way. Nobody knew if they were necessary, and now look at us.

Three keys words to define e-learninng:


Easy, because every body knows or should know how to use a computer, or at least do basic tasks that you will have to perform in a future job.

Fast, because whatever you need, you can have in an instant on the Internet, you can find videos, audios, texts, images, they are just a click away from the class.

Efficient, because you can bring your work wherever you go and everything fits in only one flash drive.

The possibilities with e-learning are endless.

Socrate once said, « I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance », and that he said, is what makes him someone different, someone ready to discover things and understand them better than anyone else.


I do follow that principle on the Internet, because it is not humanly possible to know everything that goes on over there. Being aware of your ignorance allows you to overcome that difficulty very quickly. You can know focus on how to know things better, and that is an opportunity the Internet is offering you.

You do not know how this software works. No problem, just google the right question and you will get the right answer. It is not easy to find out what you need, it is actually somehow an art that takes many years to master. But when you do, you will be like a Jedi of the web, and no one will try to play you.





One amazing stuff I found out using the Internet is something pretty useful for any sport fan like me. I always was very disappointed to see that the French channel Canal+ was blurring its frequencies on TV, so that people who do not have the C+ decoder could not see the Champions League soccer championship for example. I wanted to follow the NBA, but I couldn’t. What about the PGA Master tour? What about boxing? What about the Super bowl?

Well, I couldn’t watch any of those.

One day, it was the semi-finale of the Champions league tournament and the Red devils of Manchester United were encountering the Blues from Chelsea. Two of the greatest teams of all time with some of the best players ever, like Drogba, Ronaldo, Rooney and plenty of others. And when I turned on my television I already knew that the image was bound to be encrypted, but still I wanted to see the game. I could have gone to a bar, but since I have a great TV at home and I had beer in my fridge, why would why?

So I went straight on the Internet and started looking, searching deep into the web to find a website where I could watch the game online. And after 30 minutes of disappointments, I found out this website:, called MyP2P.eu.

And if you go check it out, you’ll find out that it is pretty cool, and very easy to use.

There it was, a treasure of the Internet, hidden behind thousands of web pages, but still I found it. So now, I can watch what I want, whenever I want, and wherever it happens (even when it had already happened).
