My week Harry Potter: The Deathly Hollows and the movie
I was in the FNAC (a big french store for books, disks, computers...), and I did not resist to buy the last Harry Potter : “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows”. The intrigue puts a little time to set up itself, but one is glad finally to know the fate of Harry Potter. Poor Albus sees its will have put a little at evil but the final he will be rehabilitated… As a conclusion, it is not great literature (good it is true it is written in English…) but that slackens… On the other hand I went to see the same week : “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”
Enough of Google: test Exalead
If you are fed up of the oneself-saying supremacy of Google as "search engine" on Internet, I propose you to test a new search engine, of the new generation: Exalead
I like also the possibility of making research directly in Wikipédia, the search engine for films is very good and the zapette is a brilliant idea: try it absolutely

Second Life: my first avatar
Above a small island that I discovered thanks to Zelena (an avatar met on SL), normally it is a beach of nudists, there is some one of them but not every people… The good point of this small island is that it is rather easy to gain Linden (the local dollar, which will enable you to buy new accessories for your avatar, or to take part in other activities of this world). Indeed on this beach, you can gain 2L$ for 10 minutes sunbathing and you can take part in a lottery and gain even more Linden (not later than yesterday, I gained 238L$)
My avatar, on the bath towel which pays you to sunbathe… As you have probably noticed, my avatar is a default one and looks like a first 3D game of Sega, I advise you to seek a news skin (skin) and to modify your avatar a little… Hair flex adds also much to realism…
An air sight of the dancefloor. I hope to find you on SL (do not hesitate to contact me if you want to be escorted)

Muffins with Parmesan and Parma ham
A receipt of Gordon Ramsay, again… It is the third receipt which we test and the third receipt is quite as delicious as the preceding ones… It is a book which I advise you to buy and use to impress your guests at the time of an "aperitif dinatoire", or for a "tête à tête" This time it is a receipt of muffins with Parmesan and Parma ham whose preparation is a little strange at the beginning but whose result is excellent. Without waiting more, the receipt:
Ingredients:
- 85g butter not salted
- 100g of flour
- a pinch of salt
- Parma ham 100g, (small pieces)
- 3 eggs
- 4 sage sheets
- 40g Parmesan
- 220ml of water
First of all, put the oven to 200°. During this time, make gently heat water with butter in a pan, to mix them … I know water and fat does not mix… But I had not warned you that this receipt is a little strange When butter is quite molten increase fire. During this time mix salt with the flour. When the mixture starts to boil, add the salt-flour mixture and to withdraw fire to it. Mix vigorously until obtaining a homogeneous paste. Let cool.
Add eggs little by little to the mixture in order to obtain a homogeneous and flexible paste.
Then add the Parmesan, sage and Parma ham.
On a plate going to the oven, place a greaseproof paper sheet and made small heaps with the preparation (not more than 3 cm in diameter). Let cook during 20 to 25 minutes until muffins take a a little gilded color. Eat them hot or cold. Enjoy

Cut onions in very small pieces. Put some olive oil on the bottom of a large pan, add onions and make them bleach. During this time, cut tomatoes and sweet pepper in very small pieces… Add to onions, and to let it on the fire during a few minutes. Add the tomato puree finally, cover and let cook a good 10 minutes. Your sauce for the fajitas is ready.
Good appetite

Joost: the P2P TV
The interface looks like an application written in Flash or something from the Internet world, but it does not look like an interface the Windows world. A little annoying at the beginning but you will quickly enjoy the interface.
For the moment there are only few channels… But it is a version beta, I guarantee that when the system will be more widespread, many advertisers will want to take benefit from this new service… Moreover I wonder what that will happen when each one will be able to create its own contents and to upload it in the system… It could be the end of VOD
of course you will have to wait sometimes… and especially at the beginning… but as a whole, it is largely possible to watch an emission without too much annoyance…
On the other hand, I do not know very well which software of compression they use, but it is a greedy resource: knowing that I have Pentium M (1,4GHz), that I have just launched Windows and that the only launched program is Joost (made abstraction of MSN and others…) I have an average consumption of my processor of 70%!!! On the other hand the use of the network remains suitable… I wonder well how that workss… I believe that I will have fun in the following days… and will watch series
