I used Law No. 78-753 of July 17, 1978 to obtain a whole bunch of figures from Météo-France. This law is a brilliant thing, which “recognizes everyone's right to obtain communication of documents held as part of their public service mission by an administration, whatever their form or medium. Ironically, it is also this same law that authorizes MF to sell its data. Anyway, after a bit...
And There you go ! The first series of prototypes has gone to La Poste! In a few days, Pioupious will start to bloom on paragliding take-offs and on kite spots. I was going to mark “it was quite an adventure”. But no: it's more like the very beginning of a great adventure 😉 Now that the prototypes are sent, I'll be able to launch the orders.

By dint of being 200% on the keyboard, paragliding, climbing and windsurfing, I caught a mild tendonitis in my wrist. It's practical just before attacking the assembly of 30 prototypes... So we had to arrange the job to solicit the least...
Summary of the previous episode: Soldering in a pan is cool and it works well! But when it comes to making thirty, it quickly becomes long. So here we are on the way to Bernin, a few minutes from Grenoble and Saint-Hilaire-du Touvet. Does the name mean anything to you? You've probably seen it already! It is there that a few small businesses were born… It is in the heart of the Grésivaudan valley. This place is not very…
