''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 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
