New version of WordPress. Upgrading of WordPress is so easy and never gaves me any problems. You would almost forget to make the recommented backup. But of course I do make my backups, because you never know! This upgrade is a mainly a security upgrade, so no many new features. But solving security issues is…

Returning home to Britiannia (Ultima Online)
Some time ago Marissa (Marion’s niece and my gaming-friend) were discussing the games we placed in the past. And so I told her about the first real online game I ever played: Ultima Online. As I played this game a very long time, there were many stories and facts to tell about it. Ultima Online…
A speed monster… Yes, truly!
Every 3 á 4 year I try to buy a new computer. Is that needed for normal computer- and internet use? No, not at all. But for gaming it is a different story. New games that are published have all the time higher hardware demands. So before you know it, your computer is “outdated”. And…
The Chessman II
Yesterday evening I had to pick something from one of the closets in my bedroom. A box on the bottom of the closet suddenly grapped my attention… Smiling I realized it was my old chess computer, the Chessman II. Good memories about that computer.

Just outside the town of Heemskerk, in the western direction, there is an old monument. If you don’t know it is there, you may never notice it. I passed by there and never was aware it was there. And now I know it is there, I really wonder how I ever could have missed it….
The wrong way to start the day…
(This happened to me last Sunday, but I was not able to put it up here earlier because I had problems with my Internet connection). This is the wrong way to start a day: … With a sudden shock you wake up from a deep sleep. You look at your alarm clock and you realize…
An old dilapidated house…
Just outside Heemskerk there is an old dilapidated house. Seen it many times and have even consider to go for some pictures. Somehow never got to it. Until some days ago a colleague photographer from Heemskerk told me that it might soon not reachable anymore. This because the town council was considering to sell it….
