Why this page ?

Short answer : Why not ?

I'm not sure I really needed a home page. Honestly, I don't think anybody in the world really *needs* one.
I was just strongly encouraged by Martyna to put something more than the picture of Pamplemousse on this page.

So let's go with a little FAQ :

Who is Pamplemousse ?
Pamplemousse is Gabrielle's cat.

What does Pamplemousse mean ?
Pamplemousse is the French word for grapefruit.

How old is Pamplemousse ?
As far as I know, Pamplemousse was born in 1997. So make the calculations.

Does Pamplemousse have brothers / sisters ?
Yes ! An adopted sister. Her name is Eclipse, because she was found by Gabrielle's parents on August 11, 1999 (total solar eclipse visible from Europe).

Where does Pamplemousse live ?
Until 2003, Pamplemousse and Eclipse shared their time between Geneva and Druillat.
In 2003, Pamplemousse escaped with his new girlfriend. Since then, they are having a wonderful life in a place they have requested us to keep secret.

What OS does Pamplemousse use ?
Pamplemousse doesn't really care about OS, he is only interested in mice.
Eclipse likes to try to catch the mouse pointer on the display when Gabrielle is working on her PC.
This site is proudly hosted on a GNU/Linux server, using Slackware 9.0 along with Apache, PHP, MySQL and other open source software.

Do you really think this page is useful ?
No. I don't. See the note on top of the page.
