G’Day World!

// August 9th, 2007 // Various

This is the first post on this brand new shiny blog ;) I’m going to use it to introduce myself and the reasons that made me start this blog.

Pierre Sauvignon

So, here we go, my name is Pierre Sauvignon (sounds very French isn’t it? ;)), I’m 23 25 years old, living in Sydney (Slurry Hills Glebe ;)) and graduated a few months years ago from a Master Degree of Multimedia and Internet Engineering. I’ve been using Internet for more than 10 years now. I did my first website when I was 14 years old at the time where most websites looked like today’s Myspace web-pages ;) So I won’t have any fake modesty and I’m proud to say that I have years of experience on Internet. That’s why I do consider myself as an Internet professional (if such thing exists! ;)). That’s one of the reasons that decided me to start blogging. I believe that I have something interesting to say, to share (sometimes, not too often, but it happen!). I see blogging as a learning tool. It’s something to have ideas, opinions, and it’s another thing to write them, share them with readers. I also believe that blogging is the new résumé. So having a blog is a bit like having an online, dynamic, CV. As you probably noticed English isn’t my mother tongue. I’m French, I learned English at school first and went to Australia for the first time 3 4 years ago. That’s where I really had a chance to learn English. I studied and work there so I hope my English isn’t too bad. Nonetheless I’m more than aware that my writing skills are not perfect and I would always be positive regarding any criticism, correction and suggestion that you, readers, could have. I’m still learning and blogging is another way to improve my English. For example I recently learned that it was actually “Round About” and not “Run About” and that “Lemon” and “Lime” where referring to the same fruit, just a color matter (In French it’s always lemon, we just add the color. We then have Green Lemon (“Citron vert”) and Yellow Lemon (“Citron jaune”)) :D My professional occupations at the moment are split between a consulting job with the folks at Tangler, some more freelance work as an IT project manager with various clients worldwide and being a French teacher in an adult private school in Sydney. All those occupations are quite different from each other. That’s how I like it ;) My hobbies are around photography and travels. Australia is the right place to be for such things ;) You can have a look to my photoblog if you wish. If you wish to learn more about me you can have a look to my LinkedIn profile. You can also find me on Facebook.

    Love the look of the blog… it’s very pleasant and calming

  4. Wow, I never knew that lemon and lime were the same fruit. Anyway, I love the look of this blog. (And don’t worry about spelling/grammar errors, they’re very negligible : )

  5. Actually I’m still not sure about that Lemon / Lime story lol
