I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
Flew in last night for a quick 24 hours in Paris. Haven’t made it downtown yet but I can see a famous landmark across the rooftops.
Half of Arsenal was on the plane last night, heading to the UEFA final. I passed Stade de France on the way in. We have a customer function there but I was too late a ring in. Just missed out.
CdG Airport was a bit different. There are Pods connected to the central core by curvy escalators. Then when you’re in the main doughnut there are escalators that seem to randomly go between levels through the center void. Very cool.
Doing meetings with when you are the only native English speaker is interesting. My French extends to ‘pain au chocolat’ and that’s about it. They seemed to enjoy the pitch though seemed to be smirking through it. I think the accent intrigues them but they may just think I’m a twit. If we get an order then I guess I did OK.
Was last in Paris in 1999. Back on the Eurostar later so head to the central city this afternoon.
Update: Got closer
