After nearly finishing the renovation of my Vespa (V50SA1T from '82) my next project is waiting for me. My very first motorbike - a Velo Solex from 1968 (two years younger than I am but in worse condition) - desperately needs some work. But first some words regarding the Vespa: I bought it in Greece about 10 years ago. That time the vehicle was in an ok condition, but the engine needed a service

Since a couple of days I am back from my business/holiday trip to Germany. Regarding business I don't want to tell too much right now, only maybe that I managed to do what I had on my list and so I am quite satisfied for the time being. As I call this 'my very personal web log' I prefer to tell you more interesting things about what happened during the times business was not involved. First over

Katja and I created today my new business card. I am very pleased with the result. And regarding design I definitely need help and advice from a professional! Click  to enlarge...

I had a really interesting Sunday. I went visiting some new friends of mine who live close to Petalidi. It is a young couple, he is Greek and she is born in Poland but raised in Germany. They have a small child - 10 months old. As I got two children and as I am quite happy with the fact that there are two, I asked them if they are thinking about a second child. Both answered that there is

After many, many years of massive THC (Tertra-hydro-cannabinol) abuse and several tries to abandon it, I finally managed to understand that I can't handle it. It handled me. I will never be able to handle it and the good feelings I took from it are

First time of my life - all alone! And I got no worries at all. My Mother is with a part of the family in Germany, my ex-wife together with the children at some friends here in Greece. And me? I will go out. As the greeks have their celebration on the 25th, people use to go out the night before. Kalamata is full of announcements for this evening - live music here, live music there. I am sure,

At the moment I am working on the new concept for our agency's future. The concept is written in German, but interested readers may find a way... Comments or suggestions are very welcome! One can find the document at Google docs. By the way - I find it very interesting the applications provided from Google. And I am not very worried what the could use the data for...

Today I felt really bad - for a minute. The owner of the picture I published on October 15th informed me that I violated her copyright. And she was definitely right. It made it even worse, that the picture loaded from her server and caused traffic there. At least I should have saved the image on my own server. I am really lucky that she took my violation not too serious! A also publish images I

Even a journey of thousand miles begins with the first step. Lao Tse. More than a week since I last posted... Had some really bad days, but at least with the result of a decision. It is impressing how motivating a big decision can be. Things which were black suddenly became grey if not even more bright. So let's take one more attempt to change certain behaviours in my life which make things

For me it is privately since more than two years an alternative to windows. I am not a gamer and all other software I need I find for free. Although at the agency we use of course good anti virus software we had a virus problem recently. Not very bad, but still bad enough to think about it. User friendliness and support of Ubuntu is so well now, that I decided to install it on our agency

Since I have this website online, I feel a little under pressure. There is always this 'New Blog Post'-button... But I said to myself, that a really interested follower will be patient enough to wait for my next intelligent and enlightening thoughts! I recently read this short article in the Kathimerini newspaper regarding the 'fakelaki' habit in Greek hospitals. We made it without fakelaki

It couldn't come worse: With your last reserve and a lot of money from the banks you make your dream come true. In this case an organics food store. Shortly after opening a friend of your father asks you to employ his daughter, as she really is in a bad financial situation. Anyway you could need some help and if the case is like this you agree to employ her. As she is already insured through

I can hardly believe that I am planning to go there. It's ages that I went to such mass events. I hope my daughter and her girl friend will have no problem to sleep in a tent and that I will have no problem to be in-between so many people. And last but not least, I hope my 2CV will make it from Ancona to Paris and back!

I heard this saying before of course, but never in this intensity like this summer. It was on a building site where some friends of mine had a couple of weeks work. One of them, at some point shortly after he arrived at work he mentioned this. Every day. A was thinking (and I still am) about this. You could take it sarcastic: Working on a roof at 35°C for very little money - Hmmm... But I

It was a very warm night, that's why I have all windows wide open. Suddenly I wake up. Must be 7:30. And must be a working day. I know all this right away as I woke up from a children's voice: Mamaaaaaaaaaa! Mamaaaaa! Half a minute later the answer from the mother. A second scenario is this: It starts exactly the same - I know it is 7:30 but now I know we have weekend. This time I woke up from

There seems to be a function to publish postings via email. This is a very interesting function which needed to be tested. That you are reading this post proves that it works. This posting was published via email!

In the beginning there was last winter the idea of my very own 'people search engine'. So I wrote a short text, added some pictures and uploaded this page to my web server. To tell the truth, I was not very successful with it until now - not listed in search engines, no one contacted me, just one positive feedback from a good friend who found the page by luck. As it seems to be quite up to date
