DJS:
Yep, I'm back.
Although I'm considering myself blessed with a wonderful audience, I also know that there are some scum lurking in the cyberdarkness surrounding the dacha, with to much time and nothing else to do than watching my every step, waiting for a moment of inattention so they can trip me with their foot. Interestingly, some of them "“ mostly uninspired, and therefore uninspiring, French bloggers and other forums wankers (no, I'm not linking to them, sorry) - gave themselves out when they jumped on the "passionate" aftermath of the missing flag post.
I'm tempted to compare this situation with the embassy of Israel in London: the large blocks of concrete, the patrols and the constant monitoring create what's called "active defense". "Active" since it forces potential terrorists to employ more important resources and heavier procedure to strike, thus making them more visible and easier to detect.
And eventually neutralize.
The missing flag post played the same role as the concrete blocks, which gave me some target to add in the black book.
If needed, I know what and where to aim and shoot at.
Anyway my point is that since their life is so empty that they have nothing else to do than invest in a hate-hate relation with me, I'm not exactly willing to discuss (too) personal topics publicly - such as the direction I'm willing to follow in the next years - but to answer your question in a bit less cryptic way:
1) Yes, although I can name all my ancestors in France, with 100% accuracy up to the early 17th century, it's enough: the idea is now for me to get the hell out of here.
No excessive rush (this is not Cuba or North Korea) but any suggestions or ideas are welcome.
2) The discussed projects are based on miscellaneous opportunities to try to generate enough commercial activity in the Anglosphere as an independent contractor for a design consultant who goes by the name "the dissident frogman".
And if enough is enough, we'll see how a frogman can fly.
I guess I'm not being too confusedly cryptic here, considering the public nature of this page, right?
