I still have a backlog of pictures to put in Galleries, but here's a first stab at an Israel album already. More pictures will be added to it in time though, but enjoy:
Here in Israel we've already gone over to daylight saving time. This usually isn't quite in sync with the European shift, so for a brief moment in time, Israel is running on Central European Time.
In order to celebrate this, I have re-instated the Winter-time photo gallery, which now can also be found amongst the gallery links on the left hand side of this page.
Enjoy!
It's interesting. I just got word that my site was pulling 6-7GB per day in traffic, sometimes peaking at 9 GB. Now I never really imagined I had that many readers, and to be honest... I don't. It seems that the script that was in place to stop people from Leeching MP3's by just deep-linking into the site didn't work for me.
This means we had to come up with an interim solution because the hosting people were starting to complain. Therefore, I constructed a brand-spanking new 404 Error Page, deleted a whole bunch of the Mp3's associated with older entries on the site, and made sure the last 4 months' MP3 links still worked. Now we'll see how many *real* readers I have out there. So if anyone out there is interested in Vintage Wintertijd Music, you'll have to mail me. Tee hee.
Furthermore, I've added three new Galleries to the web-site. There's two more to come. I had an enormous backlog of pictures that at some point in time appeared on this site without being featured in the Galleries, so I'm working on fixing that. Updates will appear during the next two days on the side bar of this site, but in the mean time the ones that are ready are the one about the airports, the one about Stockholm and the one about the Stephen Simmonds gig.
The other day I also noticed that below the obituary of my Father, someone had posted a lot of colourful websites about she-males, dicks, penis enlargement and viagra. While the man did have a sense of humour, I didn't really think it was fitting so I decided to take tighter control over the site. I'm in the process of closing down all entries except the ones from the last quarter for comments. If there's anything you want to say to posterity about one of the older articles, you'd better make it quick. Also, I'm deleting any comment that looks the least bit pointless and I'm sharpening my Blacklist.
So. Phew. Having a website isn't exactly maintenance free. And then I'm not even involved in the SysAdmin side of things. I have Arno to take care of that.
Much obliged, Arno. :-D
Nou moe. Eergisteren was ik door 100 comments geraakt die vrij rap te deleten waren, maar vandaag zakte mij de broek even af. Hadden we plotseling 500 commentaren meer dan eerst. Allemaal dingen over extreme verkrachting en zo.
Dus ik Alex' raad toch maar aangenomen en MT-Blacklist toch maar 'ns ge?nstalleerd. Lekker hoor. Rare jongens, die spammers.
Now I've set up a photo-gallery as well. It's available here.
You'll find 17 pictures for now, taken in Amsterdam when I was there last summer.
Soon there'll be a random pic on this site instead of the search-bar.
I'm now almost at the point where the WebLog is functional. Although I'm still doubting which way to go with this log, wether it should be in English, Dutch, Swedish or a blend of those, and what the definative layout and design should become, I've decided to just plod along in English for a while.
But this is of later concern. For the moment it feels good to have wintertijd.org up and running, and things are coming along smoothly.
Thanks to the MajesticMoose.net and Meulenkamp.net teams, by the way.
