One life!
Nothing is certain, much is possible.

Ha ! And you thought it would be easy ?

I'm a French-speaking Belgian who lives in Brussels, active on the French- and English-speaking Wikipedias. (And very occasionally active on other Wikipedias for maintenance purposes.)

Among my interests:

mathematics
computer science, programming
science in general (astronomy, physics, biology, psychology) - "how is all this working ?"
"Is there any God" and related questions - materialism
visual arts (mostly painting & sculpture)
literature, painting, photography, ...
...and of course, consult my [user contributions] for more...

Incomplete list of articles I started:

Thalys ...nothing to do with any of the above interests ;-)
Bruges just a stub, shamelessly inspired by Ghent.
...

Incomplete list of articles I significantly contributed content (or at least a significant twist):

Carmichael number (higher-order Carmichael numbers)
freethought
...

I contributed also translations from here to the [http://fr.wikipedia.org/ French Wikipedia].

=Interesting articles=

(written by others ! This list is also pretty random.)

Color
Kirchhoff's matrix tree theorem or how to count spanning trees (now how many spanning trees are there in a NxM rectangular grid ?)

=Odd subjects=

IP over Avian Carriers. They did it !

=To-do list=

Articles I might work on in the future (but don't rely on my doing it !):

Pisot-Vijayaraghavan numbers, to link from Fibonacci number and Phi.
John Constable, Léon Spilliaert

== A few links (mainly) for my own convenience ==
