Me, myself and I
Here is how I presented myself in 2009: “General practitioner, historical PeCeist (ha the Tandy 1000EX!!!!) but enthusiastic switcher (it is really beautiful my MacBook Pro Unibody), webaddict for 15 years, I exercise my medical activity without leaving aside my passion for silicon. The desire to create this site appeared gradually with the wire of my humours (good and bad), the desire to make share my blows of heart, tricks or discoveries.

There too a lot of change. In my last articles in 2012, I began to be critical of Apple. Since then, if I still have a Macbook Air in mobility, I work mainly on PC. My iPhone turned into an Android without any regrets. I still keep the coffee, more coffee, a lot of coffee……………….. with always a little Armagnac from Father COUREAU and a small cigar on occasion.

So I keep iToubib. I also keep my WordPress with the security that goes well to avoid my previous disappointments. And I try as much as possible not to use too intrusive services that would know too much about me. That’s why there is no iToubib page updated on Facebook. For Twitter, we’ll see. In the end, long live RSS…
