• May 22, 2009 New blog design

  For my RSS readers (actually, I have more RSS readers than spontaneous ones on an average day :) ), you may want to click on one of those links to see (and appreciate, I hope) my new blog design. This new design is still based on the Hemingway Wordpress theme, but I have taken more freedom [...]

• Jul 05, 2008 Site up!

  My site (nicolasleroy.fr) has been offline since last Friday, and has finally reborn this night :) What happened? Basically, I forgot to renew my domain name, and then came up with an imbroglio between my registrar and the company that hosts my website. I hadn’t received any mail from my registrar saying my domain name was [...]

• Jun 01, 2008 Site Updates (May 2008)

  My trip to Aosta Valley was great despite the 4.5 rainy days out of 5… It had been difficult seeing the mountains surrounding the valley, and therefore it had not been a great hiking / photography experience. However, the visit of the typical villages, the spa of the hotel and the food were great ;) [...]

• May 02, 2008 Site updates (April 2008)

  The last 2 months have been quite productive on the blog, with 18 published articles!! And I also found some time for a few updates on the rest of the site. Wordpress 2.5.1 I was a bit afraid remembering my painful upgrade to Wordpress 2.3, but the migration to Wordpress 2.5.1 went really smooth for me. The new [...]

• Mar 05, 2008 Site updates (February 08)

  In February, I rediscovered the pleasure of taking photos thanks to my new camera – a brand new Canon EOS 40D – but I haven’t taken time to publish some photos on my site. And I also rediscovered the joy of coding :) New “about me” page At last, I have an “about me” page, with photo [...]

• Dec 23, 2007 Site updates (December 07)

  I have been pretty silent on the blog during the past weeks. I was busy at Kelkoo, working on the ‘08 product roadmap (with really cool projects in it :) ). And I spent my spare time working on the photo section of the site, pushing new photos and cleaning / re-coding a few pages. New [...]

• Dec 02, 2007 Site updates (November 07)

  If you read this blog, I suppose you are either interested in my thoughts on comparative shopping / social shopping (the primary subject of this blog), or you are a friend of mine :) First option, you probably don’t care about posts not related to shopping ; second option, you only care about those (rare) [...]

• Feb 18, 2007 Some updates…

  The beginning of this year has been pretty busy for me. I’ve changed my job, moving from engineering to product definition (still at Yahoo!, still on shopping). Teaching the guy that replaced me, learning my new job, discovering my new project, traveling to the US and the UK… as you may understand, there was no [...]

• Sep 03, 2006 Nouveau site

  Comme je l’ai annonçé il y a quelques semaines, j’avais envie de changement… Voici donc mon nouveau site, qui va remplacer le blog sur Blogger, et l’ancien site. Les nouveautés sont nombreuses: Un nouvel hébergeur Après plusieurs années de fidélité à Nexen Services, j’ai décidé de changer. J’ai toujours été content du service proposé par Nexen: peu [...]

• Jul 22, 2006 Changement

  L’idée m’a prise il y a 2 mois environ… J’ai envie de changer mon site perso. Assez de ce design vieillissant qui a passé la barre des deux ans. Envie d’une interface plus centrée sur le blog et les photos que je publie. Quelques constatations: Le passage sous Blogger était donc provisoire; et je [...]

• Aug 18, 2003 Pourquoi un blog?

  Question : pourquoi ai-je décidé d’ouvrir un blog ? Tout simplement pour redécouvrir le plaisir d’écrire… La communication par mail, par messagerie instantanée est de plus en plus proche de la communication orale… Truffée de fautes, d’approximations, d’idées jetées rapidement… J’ai envie de (re)prendre le temps d’écrire des phrases, de structurer des pensées, d’essayer différents [...]
