You have all been extremely patient with me! At long last I found a mechanism to put my photos online in a way that doesn’t clash with the rest of the layout (as previously under MovableType), thanks to WordPress and it’s many plugins. Speaking of plugs, I use here a WordPress module called NextGEN...
Read more →Well, I fixed them, the permalinks. A permalink of course is a URL that points to a specific blog entry even after the entry has passed from the front page into the blog archives, or — in my case — to a completely different system. Because a permalink remains unchanged indefinitely, it is less...
Read more →Last night, at 22:40 my ADSL line came back to life, after having shut down around 17:00. OTE finally switched me back to 4Mbps. I guess kyría Ioanna came through for me after all. The bumpy 24Mbps ride seems to be over. Thanks for your sympathies, everybody. Blog conversion progress I’ve added Tom’s biography...
Read more →Welcome, welcome! You’re looking at my new blog! Actually it is the same blog, but the software that powers it is new: I changed from MovableType to WordPress. The reason?

Read more →This feels good, 2 entries in 2 consecutive days. Maybe I’m on the right track again… I’ve done a bit of work in the background of the site: you can now use an RSS newsreader if you want to keep track of the Cretan Chronicles without using your browser. This has worked since the...
Read more →Thursday already! Time flies when you’re having a good time! It’s hard to believe that I have been here for 2 months already. Just one more week and I will fly back to Belgium to make preparations for the final move. Actually I haven’t been doing a lot this week. I was terrible weather,...
Read more →Don’t worry, I’m not trying to sell you these tires. I just happen to have a picture of them on my desktop, and it as good as any other picture to test this feature in MovableType. After all you do want to see pictures once I’m started on my trip, don’t you? For now,...
