Swobodin v Brně

Je n’ai pas de voiture, et comme beaucoup d’autres citoyens, j’utilise le bus comme principal moyen de transport, et je ne pas dire que je suis satisfait.
Hier par exemple, une tâche m’a obligé à rester jusqu’à 20 heures au boulot. Tout semble normal puisque le dernier bus part théoriquement de la station du TGM […]

Yesterday took place in Ghazela a great exhibition called “Free Software Feast”. The name sounds like the famous German Oktoberfest, however, no beer here, as says Stallman: “Free Software refers not to price, but to Freedom, so think of Free speech, not free beer!”
The organization was successful and many clubs and association participated, many […]

Pendant deux semaines, j’ai suivi avec intérêt les Journées du Cinéma Européen à Tunis, marquant les événements importants et essayant de ne pas les rater, découvrant un nouveau monde de cinéma non commercial, et visant à diffuser une culture cinématographique.
À la rue Ibn Khaldoun, il y a deux salles de cinéma : ABC et […]

As it’s difficult to find cultural non-commercial movies in Tunisia, the European movies days is an occasion to find out more about movies in Eastern Europe: For 1 dinar, you may watch all the day’s high quality movies!
“Tato”, from Poland is a story of a divorced man who is obliged to let his daughter […]

Hier, comme tous les mercredis et les vendredis, j’ai vu la série télévisée “Trouve-moi une solution” ; c’est pratiquement la seule raison pour laquelle je mets la TV7, et cela vaut bien la peine ! Un excellent scénario, d’excellents acteurs et un excellent environnment la qualifient comme une des meilleures émissions que la Tunisie […]

I personally hate soccer; not as a game, but for what did people do of it.
It became a business machine, a political game (Berlusconi, Bernard Tapie and others), a people everyday’s talk, a religion.
But what I hate the most, is that soccer comes to divide people, to enhance racism and to favor violence!
A scandaleous […]

Many people think that the continent name ‘Africa’ comes from Ifriqia, the old name of Tunisia which also means ‘The separator’, because it separates the orient from the Magreb. However, Romans used to call Tunisia ‘Africa’ too; so what’s wrong?
Something is sure, is that the name is “Tunisian”, but it’s not Arabic. Here’s the […]

Today seems to be Tom’s day in my blog!
Tom asked me some days ago whether I can contribute to the first Tunisian OpenSource project QCM-Gen 0.1, something I cannot refuse; however, I spent my free time watching Jackass the movie and playing chess. Finally I decided yesterday to work on it seriously (well, […]

I hesitated for months whether should I write such post, but I was inspired by an article posted in a Tunisian blog yesterday, and finally decided to proceed on.
The article highlights racism in Tunisia towards Black Africans, I totally agree, I even see this everyday: in buses, street, universities, neighborhood, etc.
All what I want […]

Thanks to Swifty who dropped me the pic, it was taken yesterday.

The first Tunisian Wiki-meeting will take place Sunday February 19th at 15:00 . We will fix the place later.
Wiki-guru, contributor or curious, blogger or surfer, whoever you are, you are welcome and invited to discuss about the project.
Any suggestion for a decent place?

Yesterday I had a talk with Kassus, and he presented his Tunisian Wikimedia project. This will start on the Net, then it’s supposed to become “real”, and may be later it will get an official association status.
I liked the idea, but I don’t agree with Kassus on something: he told me “We have time”, […]

- Parce que ceux qui savent courir, nager ou sauter sont déjà en Italie !

يا ابن أمي

وحرا كنور الضحى في سماه
 
خلقت طليقا كطيف النسيم

وتشدو بما شاء وحي الإله

تغرد كالطير أين اندفعت

وتنعم بالنور أنى تراه

وتمرح بين ورود الصباح

وتقطف ورد الربى في رباه

وتمشي كما شئت بين المروج

وألقتك في الكون هذي الحياة

كذا صاغك الله يابن الوجود

وتحني لمن كبلوك الجباه

فمالك ترضى بذل القيود

وتسكت في النفس صوت الحياة القوي إذا ما […]

Yesterday I went to Abu Nawas Hotel in Tunis, where took place the Diplomatic Bazaar, a kind of caritative expositions managed by foreign embassies where they sell local products.
The guest were Jean Pierre Raffarin, a French talkative demagogue who used to be prime minister. I personally don’t like that guy, but as long as […]
