Since Thursday 25/04/2015, I've been enjoying my Toshiba Chromebook 2 (CB30-B-104) !

It's light, fast, and just plain simple to use. For everyday uses (mail, web, documents, spreadsheet, slides, ...) it works great (even offline for the majority of the applications).

For more advanced usages, I'm steadily upping my game. For now, I'm using for :

*) FTP : SFTP;
*) Vector graphics : Einked;
*) Photo editing : Pixlr Editor;
*) Coding : this is the field where I'm still exploring. For everything web related, I'm trying out Chrome Dev Editor, and other HTLM synced editors to get direct feedback. For Java developments, I'm testing Codenvy and other online IDEs. Solutions exist, I just need to find what fits best my workflow.

Concerning 3D graphics, 2 solutions exist. Either the Chrome Remote Desktop (to my other computer), or rollApp who offers an online desktop hosting solution.

Last night, I was at the Club Agile Rhône-Alpes session and participated in the serious game : The Derdians.

The game simulates two very different cultures that are trying to work together. It was initially designed by the Council of Europe and the European Commission in 2000 to show how things can be perceived differently from one country to the other.

With some very simple rules, the experience is eye-opening, and may I say it ... shocking! Nevertheless, I wholeheartedly recommend the game if you have an opportunity to play it.

I haven't put any links to the rules of the game on purpose in order to not spoil it (it's one of those "once you have seen it, it can never be undone things" and rule #1 of the Fight Club ). But you can easily Google them if you want to try them out with your team.

They arrived !

Actual tests with small balls of paper send the projectile at least 2 meters in a high bell trajectory (for safety reasons).

Have fun!

I'm happy to announce my first publication of an app on Google Play : Mobile Frame Zero Tools . It's an Android app to help out while playing the Mobile Frame Zero game.

I've published it on GitHub as open source here.

Future developments are tracked on Trello here.

The paint is still fresh on it and it's mostly been tested on Nexus 7 so your mileage may vary a bit, but I'm open to feedback and help .
