Free Music - Sacred Warrior

Wow! Sacred Warrior, a Christian progressive/melodic metal band from a few years ago have reformed and are getting together a new album. Through Myspace, I recently discovered that they've made 4 of their previous albums freely avaiable for download on the music section of their site www.sacredwarrior.net. What a Christmas present! Their kind of similar to Queensryche, if that helps in any way, go check them out!

FREE - Open Source Word Processing and Desktop Publishing

There are two pretty good open-source programmes available on the net, which are worth keeping track of.

SCRIBUS is a desktop publishing programme, not particularly easy to get to get to grips with, (unless I'm just a bit slow) but excellent results. Find out more at http://www.scribus.net

Happy Christmas!

Le samedi 19 décembre nous organisons un "Carol Service". C'est-à-dire, une réunion où le but est de fêter Noël à travers des chansons traditionnelles de Noël, des lectures de l'histoire du premier Noël, la naissance de Jésus, et des "Mince Pies"! Mais puisqu'on est en France, on va mélanger le français et l'anglais pour avoir un "Carol Service bi-lingue".

Ca commence à 20h à la Salle Gothique, (Couvent des Ursulines) et c'est ouvert et libre à tous.

Alors venez nombreux !



This Saturday we're organising a "Carol Service" at the Salle Gothique, (Couvent des Ursulines) to celebrate Christmas with traditional and contemporary carols, readings from the Christmas story, and Mince Pies!

The evening starts at 8pm and all are welcome and invited.
