My valued site visitors! I am really sorry for not being able to report some amazingly interesting stories or exiting summer experiences again, but life is simply extremly boring these days! One could almost feel depressed sitting here in Maastricht in the airconditioned CAC building while the weather is rather indecisive or inconclusive on the outside. In the morning, it looks like it was fall already: If I can see the church on the Emmaplein faintly, it must be either the fog or my tired eyes. — Nevertheless, I enjoy reading Shorty’s latest news from Dubai, where he is really living grand, as he does not fail to pronounce and emphasize in every single mail he sends to his homestaying friends. I admit that I envy this great time and experience no one will ever be able to take away from him. If I had a gold-shitting donkey in my garden, be sure that I would contact the next travelling agency for a flight to Dubai! — What else? -I am still quite busy with my current webprojects, and I finally put the new website of our virtual reunion GPW Abi 97 online. The galleries are still missing, but at least this thing is online! Secondly, I launched the second beta for mein-burgsolms.de, which will go online soon. (Here ’soon’ stands for a time period no longer than a month from now.) It is really amazing and incredibly interesting to see how much dialect material my grandmother has collected in the past 15 years. If you have any picture from the amount of text I have to put in typed format, you understand why this is taking so long. Nevertheless, I already worked on the meta-tags and search engine entries to give this site a good start when I finally launch it. — That’s it for today, I get back to work now, which means that I continue sitting here and staring into my 19″ Eizo waiting for the next patient to ask for council ;)
