Or am I? According to Paul Graham, to start a startup you have to be:

Someone who is a good hacker, between about 23 and 38, and who wants to solve the money problem in one shot instead of getting paid gradually over a conventional working life.

Damn, I turned 39 today. Too late! I guess I'm stuck to the "conventional working life" of a corporate drone then ;-).

Rent a flat in Paris

Going to the City of lights for a short stay? I have a flat to rent in Paris. Roomy (up to 6 people), comfortable, calm, fully furnished, modern, with broadband internet, private terrasse, garden and parking… You'll love it (I did when I lived there!). Visit appartement-jardin-paris.com for more information and booking.
Paris Web 2015, October 1-3, 2015. Web design, quality and accessibility. I’m going!
