Hello there, folks!

If you've been following my online adventures on LostInBrittany.org for the past couple of decades, you've seen it evolve from a mishmash of topics to a place where tech reigns supreme. I've used trusty old WordPress for this journey, running everything from my personal blog to corporate platforms like the current OVHcloud blog. Plus, I've set up countless blogs for friends, family, and various groups.

Hello world!

Hello to everyone out there – tech enthusiasts, wanderers, artists, and those just plain curious!

That blog was where I combined my love for drawing with the exciting world of digital technology. Over time, priorities shifted, and while the old platform never really went away, its primary focus evolved.
