Indian Stuff Properly Online [en]

[fr] Enfin, le journal de mon année en Inde il y a dix ans est à nouveau correctement accessible. Il était temps!

Climb to the Stars has grown into a huge sprawling mess over the last 10+ years. That’s life, I guess. Did you know that one of the reasons I became an active online citizen was that I was going to spend a year abroad in India, when I was a student?

During its first year of life, Climb to the Stars (which didn’t go by that name yet) was mainly the repository of my travel notes. I remember the day when I added a kind of stats thingy and discovered that I had 2-4 people visiting my site each day. Champagne!

Anyway, time has passed, and at one point, a lot of my old material missed the migration to WordPress and stayed stuck in an old version of my site (some shady subdomain you don’t want to know, particularly since the last server move killed off the old code that held it together).

So, here we go. Even if it’s old writing, it deserves a place here. Head over to my logbook (also available on a single page) and the India index that I’ll try to freshen up a bit over the next months.

    Même si je ne suis pas en train de vibe-coder à tour de bras, j’ai bien sauté dans le train côté IA. Depuis deux ans environ, je dis que ce que je ressens concernant l’importance et le potentiel de l’IA générative est quelque chose que je n’ai pas senti depuis ma découverte d’internet il y … Continue reading "La clé du véritable assistant IA: l’infrastructure IA personnelle (PAI)"
  • Anthropic payment woes – resolved13.04.2026
    TL;DR: enter card details manually, not using Link, if you need to change your payment method and it’s stuck. Three days ago my Claude Pro subscription was up for renewal but I’d forgotten to top-up the prepaid credit card I use for this. It was (logically) declined and my subscription was suspended.  I was using … Continue reading "Anthropic payment woes – resolved"
  • The Wild Magical World of AI (LLMs)05.04.2026
    End 2024 is when I really started to get going with “AI” (or LLMs – I know saying “AI” is kinda wrong, but there seems to be no good way to escape it right now). I’d been dabbling a bit before that: as a search engine, to help me with my excel formulas at work, or … Continue reading "The Wild Magical World of AI (LLMs)"
  • Titres, écriture, initiation de tâches, et IA03.04.2026
    Devoir mettre un titre à un article, c’est clairement un frein à l’initiation de la tâche “écrire un article”. Vous avez déjà remarqué ça? De mon point de vue, c’est aussi une des raisons pour lesquelles ce qui se racontait sur les blogs à gentiment migré vers les réseaux. Sur Facebook ou LinkedIn, nul besoin … Continue reading "Titres, écriture, initiation de tâches, et IA"
  • Today is Tomorrow27.03.2026
    A friendly colleague I share some geeky interests with told me today I was courageous to announce my blogging intentions yesterday. I told him “not that much”, because if I didn’t stick to my declaration of intent, it’s not something I’d feel terribly bad about. Writing that quick post yesterday made me feel a bit … Continue reading "Today is Tomorrow"
