The Postcard Contest...

Sooooo... My internship is lasting forever! I really wish I could fly to Lima next week (well, maybe I am not ready just yet). 10 workdays left at PSA, and counting...

We would like to introduce a new game. The real fan may have noticed that we added yesterday a new rubric in the right-side panel... Let us introduce "The Top 5 commentators...", sometimes called "My best friends" :-).

The game is very simple... Any time we enter a new country, we send a special postcard to our first commentator (who might want to email a postal address! hehe...). Hopefully the postcard will be delivered before we enter the next country :-).

added on Aug26th : Indeed, being first commentator means being #1 in the sidebar, not being the first one to comment... (that would be too easy)

First entrance in Peru on August 28th...

PS1 : It should be about 6 to 8 postcards...
PS2 : Let's hope we will not have to moderate too much comments :-) - But there was no need so far...
PS3: A comment posted from the open space I work at shall not be counted - get back to work you lazy interns :-)..

Dammit ! I can't post from my house since I don't have the Internet yet, so I'll continue doing it from the office space :p

OK, SO i HAVE To begin. Let begin by the beginning: Bite. Afterwhile interships are boring, it is a well-known rule of the work market.

Pierre said...

Kino, I checked... You have posted twice, but... there is a but : Your other post is so old that it does not appear anymore in the feeds (upon which the stats are based...).
:-)

Kino said...

lol, so if you write too many articles, and that we comment them, then the post count won't work for the oldest ? humm, strange...

Unknown said...

Hey !! Il n'y a que moi qui écrit en français ??!!! Bon ben voilà, mon premier "comment"... HOURRA !!! Ca marche !
Bonnes valises !
Bisous.

Unknown said...

suffit de 3 commentaires pour etre au top 5 ?? Facile !!!

Unknown said...

Et voilà !! héhé !! ;-)

Pierre said...

C'est ça qu'on veut voir... :-)

Kino said...

hum... *takes back his first place*
:-p

Unknown said...

I'm shocked there is no special postcard category for those who give you advices.

And btw, the openspace should become very soon a huge openspace, making the lazy commenting rather hard to manage...

Anyway, good luck for the last preps!

Pierre said...

Let me think about that...
Especially after this last post (see Kino).
Anyway, it was posted from the open space, so it does not count.
:-)

Unknown said...

Nope. I was all alone in my private office, lost in the middle of Palaiseau.
So it DOES count.

Pierre said...

Je me suis mal exprimé, c'est celui de Kino qui ne compte pas... puisqu'il a été posté depuis l'openspace. Je n'ai rien contre les posts de thésards (de toute façon, c'est un peu votre maison la salle du fond à GAUCHE, non?)
:-)

Kino said...

Wow ! 2 minutes, je post uniquement le matin en arrivant et le soir avant de partir. Bah oui, j'ai pas le net chez moi et je ne l'aurai pas avant un moment vu que je déménage dans un peu plus d'un mois.
Je demande donc une dérogation pour avoir le droit de poster depuis l'open space !

Unknown said...

I'm just wondering how long it takes to moderate comments, and therefore if comments posted before you arrive and not moderated yet still count...
I just worry the referee (that's you indeed) could be "not so fair" :D

Grégoire said...

Cheaters ! Only real comments should count ! Like this one !

Yannick said...

Facile Grégoire...

Yannick said...

J'ai l'impression que certains postent juste pour faire du nombre...

Yannick said...

Mais pas ton "best friend n°1" et cher paternel, dont je ne peux qu'admirer la régularité et la persévérance dans la langue de Shakespeare !

Yannick said...

Et au passage je te redonne ma nouvelle adresse, où on t'accueillera avec plaisir à ton retour en Europe :
5 rue Ebelmen dans le 12e
On veut notre carte postale ! Bopnne continuation !

Pierre said...

I think you'll get your postcard... With some luck and hard work when we get into Paraguay.

Yannick said...

Quoi ? Tu veux dire que tu l'as pas encore envoyée ?
J'y compte bien !!!
