The map expands

The map expands

After all these adventures, the situation has recovered well. The menu is expanding Les Pioupious, victims of early mistakes, have been corrected and are back in service. They have started to bloom again in the four corners of France. Some devices had to go through the after-sales service box a second time. Fortunately, this only concerned 1% of them, and for minor problems: human error during editing, invisible during tests... No more big worries for...

hello french fries

hello french fries

Bye bye, France. So here I am Belgian since this weekend. I left to join The Factory, where Pioupiou found a new flight. It was a big logistics. It even took a 33 ton to move both the house and the office. In any case, the "north" has not betrayed its reputation. We were greeted by rain…and even a little snow. Orders in progress and after-sales service Moving…

Repairs and moving

Repairs and moving

Most of the Pioupious are now repaired. When we brought the boxes to the carrier, they made a funny face 🙂 A few Pioupious leaving The only Pioupious that are not yet finished are: – Either Pioupious whose repair is a little more complicated than the others. In this case, I cannot subcontract, it is I who must do the intervention. – Or Pioupious that we received during…

The calm after the storm

The calm after the storm

Technical difficulties, moral burn-out, finances in the red… Since the end of October it was a real storm. The situation was not happy, and we very nearly lost the ship. Calm has returned. There's still a lot of catching up to do, but the hardest part is probably behind us. The real good news is that the future of the project now seems secure. Pioupiou will join The Factory, a Belgian "startup factory". So I will be the new fiscal neighbor…

An update on the situation

An update on the situation

The completely saturated Rondeau interchange − image borrowed from DL Previous posts on the blog have caused quite a stir. So I deleted them. I will therefore try to clarify the situation, in the most readable way possible, to avoid misunderstandings: I am not abandoning the project It was never in question. On the other hand, it is certain that I cannot continue "as is", that is to say alone and with too many means...

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad

There was a mysterious evil that extinguished all the Pioupious, one after the other. I identified the culprit. It's a chemical reaction story! And fortunately for us, who says problem identified, says solution not far away. The stupid idea (You will excuse my language.) I had made an assembly where the pile is screwed on the electronic card. The goal was to have better electrical contact between the two elements. In theory, it should work fine. On…

Back

Back

Let's start with good news: that's it, the company is "great". I received the new K-Bis: So now it's “the wind company”, with €35 in capital. Finally… These stories of name and capital, it's never more than marketing talk to appear more credible to the old (bank, public aid). “I have a bigger one”. In truth, not much has changed. The only…

Funeral wedding

Funeral wedding

Take a good look there… Do you know what that means? Yes, I finally received the long-awaited new axes! The supplier is two weeks late, and suddenly me too because I had directly sent you the deadline he had announced to me − I was stupid. Good. Now the axles are there, that's the main thing. That was the good news. Suffice to say, the sequel is less funny. Where it gets stuck I rushed a little too much…

The new nest

The new nest

Babies are born in cabbages. Startups are born in garages. Good. Me, to my great disappointment, I never had a garage. Suddenly, this great “weather” adventure started in my bedroom: then it continued in mum's kitchen: I took a short social break at Co-Work (this is where the company was born): and finally, I worked all last year in my "cave" in Lumbin: So far, that...

When bearings get involved

When bearings get involved

“What will happen if, once I have delivered all my products, we notice that there is a big bug? This is THE killer question. I think every entrepreneur has to deal with it one day – presumably even Volkswagen. Mr. "bac plus zero" was convinced that he could produce a product without fail, on his own, the first time. Fortunately, the reality of life was there to remind him that we are not...
