7 things you may not know about me

I’ve been tagged by Pascal, so now it's my turn to reveal a few silly things about myself. :-/
The rules:
- Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
- Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
- Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
- Let them know they’ve been tagged.
Seven things:
- The first program I wrote was a very simple Snake-like game on the Atari Basic Programming cartridge. I was 11.
- My first real job was to be a windsurf instructor. It's been the best year of my life. :-)
- I made my military service in the French Gendarmerie (army / police) and seriously considered making a career there. In retrospect, I can't understand why.
- I have a mechanical engineering degree but my wife is the one who repairs stuffs at home. :-s
- My first involvement for the open-source community was to submit a 10-line patch for Nvu in 2004.
- I have more fun tweaking my Vim config than playing computer games.
- I've been involved in the development of the best keyboard in the world.
Seven people to share my trouble:
- Henrik Gemal because I started to learn XUL tweaking his Launchy extension.
- Marcia Knous, just to say “Hi” and for her video of the French Mozilla group in Barcelona :-)
- Flore Allemandou for letting me read her comics and drink her beers.
- Toni Hermoso Pulido because I forgot to mention the Catalan language pack on kompozer.net.
- Simone Lando (aka “Underpass”) because he should have a blog.
- Sonny Piers, I owe him a beer though I can't remember why… never mind.
- Martin Stubenschrott, I don't know him but I’m a big Vimperator-fan and I can’t wait to have a stable Thunderbird3/Muttator config!

Hi Fabien,
How are you? You're so kind, but I would not have enough time to manage a blog - I actually used to have one, but not related to Mozillian matters ;-)
Hope to see you and the other friends from France very soon, I enjoyed very much your company!
Bye!
Simon
Dude! Language pack it is still no there. Will you add it after I accede to this 7-things penitence? :)
Cheers!
@ Underpass
yep, the MozCamp’s been awesome, I hope we’ll meet again soon!
@ Toni
I’ve updated the website, but let’s see your penitence. ;-)
Thanks...! I've posted the untold secrets about myself at http://gemal.dk/blog/2009/01/16/7_u...
Some "secrets" about me, since i have also been tagged: http://vimperator.org/trac/blog/7-t...
This is a bit off topic...
I saw that you had been added to the Mozilla Planet feed. Do you now work for the Mozilla Corporation? If you do, I'm curious...
In a previous blog post you written that "If I had some time or financial support, I’d rather build a wysiwyg HTML/CSS editor on OpenKomodo to have both wysiwyg *and* source edition." in reference to KompoZer.
I was just wondering if this was something that's on your radar/todo list now if your employment situation has indeed changed.
@ Henrik and maxauthority
Sooooo glad to see you here! ;-)
@Mark
I’ve been added to the Mozilla Planet feed but I don’t work for the MoCo — I sure wish I would! Maybe some day… I’m still self-employed at the moment.
Working on a *real* web IDE is by far #1 on my wish-list, and I’m working on KompoZer with this goal in mind. As an example, the UI of the upcoming version has been designed more for OpenKomodo than for KompoZer itself: http://kompozer.net/images/kpz-html...
I’m rushing to publish a new version of KompoZer before the FOSDEM. I hope I’ll find some contacts there who’d be interested in sponsoring such a development. We’ll see.
