Why live anywhere else?
London vs. Paris…
Ask most historians in the UK and New York became the center of the world after the Second World War, I always wondered about this view of things.
Google Ngrams shows New York passing in front of London in 1910.
London, Paris, New York (English)
I’ve not mentioned Paris which lags behind London for the whole period. But then it is in English. How do the Germans see the world?

Le Web buzz starts…
It’s becoming somewhat of ritual. Each autumn the weather get colder and the updates about Le Web start. I have my ticket already and it makes for something to look forward to!!!

Issue sending mail on an Orange ADSL connection…
So you’re on holiday in France. And your hosts have given you a wi-fi connection using their “Livebox”.
Of course, this took longer than anyone expected simply because everyone had forgotten that you had to press a button on the back for the first connection from a new machine. That remembered, everything is working perfectly except one thing. You can’t send mail.
Doesn’t matter how many times you try. It can’t reach the smtp server.
Well try this. Change the port that you send the mail out on to 587. Orange blocks some of the standard ones. No idea why.
Hopefully, this will help someone out there.
