hello world !

Ahah, I love that one “Hello World!”. For this is exactly what I feel like saying right now.

You see, I lost my internet connection - and consenquently my phone + I don’t have a cell phone - for a whole week which was bad enough since I had experienced not later than last July 3 weeks without the internet as a result of a broken connection and had at the time already come to the conclusion that I just couldn’t, and wouldn’t, live without the internet.

So, here I was again completely lost and feeling cut out from the world, and of course it was during that week my web hosting service notified me that I had exceeded the allocated bandwith for this blog for the month of February so I was in that bar with my laptop and the Wi-Fi card I bought last July and decided I had better upgrade my offer right now, so I did and I think I made a pretty good job out of it, but - and this is where the plot thikens, for without a “but” there would be no story here - apparently something went wrong with Wordpress during the process…

I got my connection back last Thursday and checked on my blog to see how the transfer had gone and “Argh !” + “Damn !” all the accents in the French version had been replaced by “?” and Oh, wonder of wonder, I could no longer write any articles !

So after trying a few manipulations like reinstalling Wordpress and importing the database again and stuff like that and seeing nothing seemed to be working I decided to re-install the blog all over again. I thus spent the entire week-end transfering every article to another website I have, deleting everything here, reinstalling Worpress from the start, and reposting every article one by one.

There would of course be no point really to write about this if I had not decided in this tiresome process to stop writing this blog in French altogether. It was already some kind of burden to me to have to write the articles in French after having written them in English, but I definitely feel the need to simplify and so I will now only be writing in English.

The French version of the archives will still be available for some time - I do not know how long - HERE.
