Dear webmasters of multi-lingual sites (including you, blogspot.com!), Please, STOP STARING AT MY iPEE! I’m not staring at your … okay, we don’t need to go into that, you get my point already. That being said, now that I have your attention, here’s the deal.
Read more →You remember how I mentioned a few days ago that we just put some inflatable mattresses on top of our spread-out tent and call that “camping”? It was not looking too good for our upcoming “vacation” this year. A couple of weeks ago we were invited by Giorgos and Maria to join them in...
Read more →Okay, one more quicky before I go to sleep, because it is the end of the week, and I owe you some entries for the time lost these months. I’ve been asked a few times why I write this blog in English. While I gracefully try to cover up that I don’t have a...
Read more →Well, this is going to be tougher that I thought. There are almost 20.000 pages returned by Google, after only 5 days! I have seen in my log files that googlebot visited my site, even several times since I started, but I’m still nowhere to be seen in the first 100 results. And let’s...

Read more →Some people have very diplomatically brought to my attention the fact that I never said anything about what it was exactly that I did here in Crete. I checked the archives of the Chronicles, because I thought I had narrated about that. Apparently, if I did, I only did it mentally. So, to make...
Read more →Is it Thursday already? Damnit! Last time I looked up, I was writing part 2 of this thriller account of my most ordinary day, and that was on Tuesday. How did Wednesday slip through?
