It’s getting a little bit confusing for myself, this pre-dating of postings. I hope you can keep track of where you have been and where not. Anyway, the last 3 days have been spent mostly on trying to get those pictures in the correct format, in the correct entry, displayed in an esthetic way....
Read more →It finally happened! The state owned telephone company OTE at long last made true on its promise to install the ISDN line into my appartement. Not exactly within the agreed upon time frame, but let’s not split hairs now over details. The important thing is that I’m now once more a fully connected citizen...
Read more →This is not working the way I expected it. Or at least, not at the spead I expected it. I’ll have to ask all of you to be a little bit patient until I have finished fighting my battles with local bureaucracy. I still have to rely on slow internet cafes to update my...
Read more →I woke up because my mobile phone rang. It was Yvonne. I was beaten. The fatigue of the journey had taken its toll. After a shower I got out on the streets and bought the local newspaper which I read through the adverts while having a cup of coffee at Carola’s coffee shop on...

Approaching Luxemburg, snow started to fall, very lightly at first, then as Metz came closer, the snow got thicker. I never...
Read more →… is that there are so many. Take for example HTML. Boy, I’ve been strugling with getting my blog page (Cretan Chronicles) present itself nicely in the same way as my main entry page, but unsuccessfully so far. The problem is that the graphics in the main page still rely heavily on tables for...
Read more →If you’ve come here, you probably read my last entry in Radio Userland’s blog. From now on this will be the place were we will chronicle our adventures in Crete. I still have some work to do to bring the layout of this section in line with the main layout, but I’ll figure that...
Read more →Eleven days no postings?! That’s not a good start, Luc. I plead guilty on all accounts. I have no excuses. But I have a great explanation!
