A Moodle Partner in France: facts or rumours?
Wed, 09/04/2008 - 21:52 — nicolasconnaultWhen I moved from Australia to France in August 2007, I was thinking about setting up a Moodle Partner in France, since none was available at the time (still true at time of writing). I discussed it briefly with Martin Dougiamas, and talked about it with a few other Moodlers. I also mentioned this in one of my online descriptions.

Progressive Graphical User Interface
Mon, 31/03/2008 - 06:14 — nicolasconnaultThe problem
Last week I started to formulate an idea for better Graphical User Interfaces in software. I posted my first draft on moodle.org. I would like to explain this a bit better here.
Unconditional love
Sun, 30/03/2008 - 17:10 — nicolasconnaultThere is no possible doubt: unconditional love is the ultimate human virtue, the single most needed attribute in this world, the principle from which all other desirable human traits naturally flow. But what does it really mean?
To love without condition renders the following sentence rather meaningless:
"I love this person because he is/has/does ..."
If there are no conditions to be put upon our love of our fellow brothers and sisters, considerations such as their character, their achievements, their personality, their possessions, are all devoid of importance.
Learn every day
Sun, 16/03/2008 - 19:58 — nicolasconnaultLife can get tedious. We can get so caught up in the daily, weekly and monthly routines that we can forget why we even do them. Without something new and exciting coming to our attention on a daily basis, we lose focus and interest, and we tend to become dissatisfied with ourselves or with our life.
Old self-description for Moodle.org forum
Thu, 28/02/2008 - 14:19 — nicolasconnaultBorn in 1978 in France, I have 4 brothers and 1 sister. At age 19, I spent 2 years on a mission in England for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. There I learned much about human nature and saw much misery and suffering, mostly caused by dysfunctional relationships between people, especially in families. I decided I would study psychology and become a family counselor, to help alleviate the hurt I saw all around me.
A true love story
Sun, 24/02/2008 - 21:23 — nicolasconnaultPeople often ask me how I met Anne-Marie, my wife since September 2000. They are curious because I am French and she is Australian. They would like to know who was visiting which country when we met. In this rather lengthy blog entry, I hope to elucidate these questions and entertain, surprise and move you. Our story is unique, as all true love stories are.
