Happy New Year!

And welcome to the PXTJ blog....  Pierre, Xavier, Thomas and James.

The idea is make this a team blog and to have an easy way to share interesting things from the web.

I've sent an invitation to each of you (you'll have to create a google login if you don't already have one) and once you accept I'll make all of us admins. 

Looking forward to sharing some interesting sites and discovering interesting sites that you have to share.


All the best
