What happened in my world these 6 months

Hello everyone, I did not blog since 6 months and I am sorry about it

So Let’s see what happens for me lately..

• I was on SupInfo Show “Le rendez vous des experts” by Julien Dolon twice:

The first one is about Developing in the cloud Azure: Rendez vous des experts - Développez votre back office sur le cloud / Part

                 

The second one was about Windows Phone 7 Mango New features :

That was really fun to talk about technology that I love in front of a camera, I really enjoyed it !!

• I was in an article in a French News paper, I was interviewed by Viadeo

Although it was personal but I liked it, and It’s kind of cool to see my face on a French news paper

• Travel

I visited Amsterdam, Although I was a little shocked compared to my education towards a few things I can not mention, but it's still a beautiful city.

• Personal but Important

I found the love of my life and I’m going to marry him this September <3

• Work , work and also work

During those 6 months I was in a mission in Natixis. I must be at work at 9am and I leave at 7 pm (at least). For the first time in my life I discovered the Banking/Finance part witch is really interested, but I missed the fact that I can be on the top of technologies, doing presentation and being a living part of the community.. Now my mission takes end 30 Juin 2011 and I hope to find something that I really enjoy !

Conclusion : Enjoy every moment of your life, every second is important and enjoyable Trust me I know what I  am saying

Fail Conference .. selon moi

Mardi 01 février 2011, centre de conférence de Microsoft France; j’étais à une super conférence intitulée “Fail Conference” .. une conférence qui parle de l’échec et comment l’éviter et rebondir après.. Une conférence avec un sucée énorme !

Voici une vidéo que j’ai enregistrée le soir même quand je suis revenue de la conférence (la qualité n’est pas bien mais j’ai essayé)
