As one of the authors tried to post something a little back, WordPress (the software I use for this weblog) crashed. It took me some time to figure out what was causing this. But I found out, there was still one index of a table that was corrupt. I repaired it manually and now all…
Weblog is back up again…
First of all, my excuses to the authors here on our weblog for the fact that it was almost a month not possible to post new articles. The reason for this was that one of the database tables was corrupt. Normally this is solved by restoring a backup, but this problem seemed to have been…
About photobooks and the Church of Panagia Glykofiloussa
Some time ago I took down my photo-site. Marion always found it a pity that I have done this. Now she asked me if I would be willing if would make photo-books of the best photo’s I made. And especially if I would update and expand the photo-book “Living as Gods and Goddesses on Lesvos”…
Lesbos or is it Lesvos?
Often when I talk about Lesvos, people correct me and tell me that the island is called Lesbos. When I tell them they are wrong, some people can get really stubborn about it. I was even once told that I had no idea what I am talking about. Well, what is the idea? I have…

Beckbury, West Midlands UK
Around 50 kilometers North of Birmingham, in the county of Shropshire (West Midlands), lays a small idyllic English town called Beckbury. Beckbury has a special meaning to me. It was the first town outside The Netherlands, where I travelled as 17 year girl (almost 18!!!) alone, without my parents or anyone else. It was also…
My ethnic origin
The result of the DNA test came in and, as I already expected I am on this matter boring: I’m 100% North and West European. No exciting branches into Africa or South America (a pity, I would have liked that). No touch of Greece (now that would have been a real bonus, but alas). Just…
Far Cry 5
End of March the game “Far Cry 5” was released, a game that I was really looking forward to. But sadly at that time I was without computer (remember that my old computer died completely?). But when my new computer was in and after basic configuration was done, I bought that game through Steam. The…
An extra security measure on our weblog.
There are things that you never hope will happen, but last week one of these things happened. Someone of our group was targeted and photo’s of her Facebook Timeline were copied into a fake account. For what reason? I don’t know and basically I don’t care. The account is not active no more and that…
And then the computer died…
A few days ago I was working at my computer at home when it suddenly with a strange sound died. Restarting didn’t help as it got stuck somewhere in the booting process. At that time, it was late in the evening, I couldn’t not find out quickly what was wrong. The next day I discovered…
