I’m Ploum, a writer alternating between a bépo keyboard, to feed this blog, and old mechanical typewriters on which I imagine our futures, available in every good (French-speaking) book store. Without a keyboard, you can find me underwater or on a bike.
As « Lionel Dricot », I pretend to be respectable to teach software freedom at École Polytechnique de Louvain.
