Happy new year to everybody!

This year was clearly special in many ways.

Goals for the new year to come:
- share more info on Internet
- use a different way than a blog …
- listen more classical music
- learn piano!

And more ;)

 

House Hunting Tuesday, Jan 22 2008 

Personal , , , Nicolas Dufour 16:25

We have started to house hunt this past Saturday.

After seeing 12 houses (some were canceled by just passing by …), 2 just stayed in our mind. One was very spacious and a bug backyard but very close to the highway … and the second one, very cute looking, a bit small and lots to repair.

We almost bought that last one, but finally keep looking for a better opportunity. This house was too small anyway and too many problems vs cuteness/location.

So, it’s just a start. It’s our first time so we are pretty green to that kind of task, bu we are learning fast !

To be continued …

Update (2008/08/29): We finally bought a house and closed end of April. Since then it’s lot of work to do as well, but lots of joy :)

Happy New Year / Bonne Année

I hope this new year will bring you lots of good stuff (health, happiness, joy, love … yup very important ;) ).

Another year in the big universe …
Same resolution for that year: trying to post more often ;)

Oh well… specially to post stuff useful such as tricks I found myself that could save time for others ! That’s something that blogs and Google (or other search engines) provide the best. So thank you all.

So see you soon

New Job at Manhattan Friday, Nov 17 2006 

Personal , Nicolas Dufour 23:59

Yes ! I’ve been searching for a new job since October 26th and in 3 weeks I got a good position in the south tip of Manhattan (at the 22nd floor with a gorgeous view !).

I closed my contract with my previous French company (7 years) and move on toward new adventures.

I will have to take the train and the subway to reach the office and I will be able to enjoy this marvellous city as well ! Starting next Monday, and I will meet the whole team and perhaps a little cocktail to celebrate.

A new step in my integration of my American life here in New Jersey ! Oh yes and I got recently my driving license at the DMV (at last). I was able this time to provide a good translation of my French driving license and they granted me.

So, now I have to work hard and prove to my new employee that I was their best choice as well ;)

And thank you for all the persons who gave me good advices and informations for this new step.
