Daryl Warner Laux at Verda Vivo tagged me. To the rule of the game, I have to publish the rules, tag seven people, and let you know seven things about me.
This is a first for me as I never indulged before in blogging games. But it is the occasion to give a little personal touch to this blog and to promote blogs I wouldn’t otherwise.
I hope you will enjoy this post and and find my selection interesting. I look forward to reading your comments.
The rules for ’social-networking’ tagging:
- Link to the person who tagged you.
- Post the rules on your blog.
- Share seven things about yourself – some random, some weird.
- Tag seven people at the end of your post and link to them.
- Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog and/or Twitter.
- Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.

Seven things about me:
- Like Marguerite, I love swimming. When the city’s swimming pool opens up – only during summers – I swim a kilometer daily;
- I have been a computer geek for the past five years. Understand by that that I spend way too much time in front of my computer;
- I would like to get deeper into astronomy and photography. Two hobbies I would like to indulge more into, but don’t find the time…
- I read way too much: with around 70 RSS feeds, five magazines, newspapers and tons of books. If this wasn’t enough, I also read mangas and comics.
- Elrst comes from the initials of my full name: Edouard Louis René STenger. Louis and René are the first names of my grand fathers;
- I am finishing a job at the end of the year and will be available for employment in January. If you are interested, please checkout my resume. I will consider all offers;
- I have a great idea for a PhD thesis but have no clue if I will have a try at it or left it as a huge project.

Thanks for playing along. I know that you must spend hours in front of the computer when I sometimes get emails from you at midnight! ~ Daryl
As a matter of fact, I am what you call I think a night owl, I never go to sleep before midnight. (my father is even worse in this regard… 😛 )
But one thing that struck me when I was visiting the United States is how Americans generally go to bed early. French people generally stay up later much than. 🙂
It was a pleasure to play along.
