La semaine dernière, j'ai déménagé à Strasbourg, j'habite maintenant virtuellement chez mes beaux-parents et chez mes parents. Le déménagement, c'est relativement bien passé. J'ai loué un camion chez Europcar, un 23 m³, on a bien rempli celui-ci puisque je me suis fait contrôler par la gendarmerie à la sortie d'un péage. 800 Kg de surpoids (bon en Fait 600 Kg parce que j'en pèse une petite centaine et mon beau-père aussi), le gendarme a été sympathique, il ne m'a pas obligé à décharger l'excédent et m'a laissé repartir : bref, j'ai eu ma première prune : 90€. Ce qui pesait le plus lourd : mes livres, certains cartons pèsent en effet plus de 50 Kg, assez impressionnant.
I clearly remember, but can't date it. I was working for Mozilla messaging at the time ( momo ), being the QA lead for Thunderbird. It was at the end of one of the Mozilla All-hands, maybe in 2011 or 2012. At one of the ending keynotes, we were introduced to Boot 2 Gecko. A hack that would let US - Mozilla own the platform to run a mobile browser on. At the time, the iPhone was going strong and Google was trying to catch up with Android. MeeGo had been in development at Nokia for a while but was going nowhere even when Intel tried to help. Blackberry was slowly starting to die. In the Silicon Valley everything was about mobile, mobile, mobile and the emerging South Easter Asian market, where people would skip computers and use smartphones to join the internet revolution. We were struggling with Chrome and the massive investment by Google to take market share. Our Firefox port on Android was having loads of issues. We were denied by Apple's policies to be present on iPhones....
