BTW, why zedas.fr ?

Today, I want to answer to a question nobody asked : why is this site uses zedas.fr for its URL ? Well, there is a small story behind it. No very special, but I wanted to share it. A lot of personal blogs are usually using an URL named after their owner, or a pseudonym they use. Me, I didn’t want, mostly for privacy reasons and also because I didn’t want to see my same in my mail address and other stuff using a DNS, mostly because I don’t really like it.

My vinyl records collection

If somebody told me in early 2022 I would buy a vinyl turntable and starting a vinyl records collection, I don’t think I would have believed it.

In fact, I haven’t manipulated a vinyl disc since my teenage period, twenty years ago (Outch 🤕). I’m not an audiophile, because its definition does not apply to me.

This year, I'll switch to an electric car

I must admit one thing : I’m one of the monsters that still likes cars. Yep. My favorite kind is the compact sport hatchback because it’s not too big, and not too small. A decade ago, I had a company car that was in the lower tier and I felt very uncomfortable. I’m not claustrophobic, but I always had the feeling to be in a tight tin can in this car.
