As you can see (on the right) my birthday is approaching. Since people are used to give me presents and/or money on that day (I don't know why :P), I'll ask all of them to throw their money into one pot. Me'll throw some xtra coins into and afterwards I will try to swap that pot with a zoomlens somewhere. ;) Could you help me a bit with finding the right one? To make the shape a bit clearer the following information: - me have Nikon D70s - me want zoomlens >= 200mm - me still n00b…

Ogurek, ogurek, ogurek ma zielony garniturek. Czapke i sandały zielony, zielony jest cały.   Just remembered this one. (Klaudia taught me several years ago. :)) Since I don't know how to write polish, I just asked Mr. Google ("ogurek ma zielony") and to prevent losing it again, just eternalize it here. P.S.: Die Gurke, die Gurke, die Gurke hat grüne Kleider. Von Kopf bis Fuß (Mütze und Sandale) ganz grün. De komkommer, de komkommer, de komkommer heeft groene kledij. Van top tot te…

I settled down here just about 4 month ago. It took me just a week or two until I felt a bit like home. How come? It's just as one can read everywhere if people are writing about the ipernity community: They are kind and friendly people that make a virtual - a non-existing place feel like home just by being open and welcoming.   So let me thank all of the nearly 2000 visitors (1935 right now) for being so kind! I'm happy to share moments I've captured, because they did something to me. And…

Some time ago flickr was eaten by yahoo and (among other things) all users "were allowed to create" yahoo accounts in order to log in. I just read ( here! [dutch]) that Microsoft plans to eat YAHOO. If that happens you can imagine what the consequences for flickr's services will be. For now I joined the protest-group , but as soon as Microsoft indeed buys yahoo I will quit my account for sure. It's not that I did very much with my flickr account, but if it's infected I don't even want it to…

THIS BLOG IS NOT YET COMPLETE. I already published it anyway, because of all the nosy people! ;) Last weekend Paul, his brother Henk and I went to Berlin (slideshow) by car. (From Friday to Monday) On our way back (which took about 8 hours) I was thinking about what I should write about Berlin (slideshow). It kept impressing me from the first second to the last one and it's so much I experienced those few days. So let me just try to tell about things chronologically: Friday:…

Hi again. Since F-spot - my first choice photo managing software has no native ipernity upload module yet, it can take some time until I'll post photos here. In the meanwhile - if you're interessted ;) - you can finde some things here: about-alboe.de flickr.com/alboe picasaweb.google.com/about.alboe Have fun, alboe

She... ...should be unknown to me. ...I probably know better than many other. ...makes me happy by talking to me. ...sometimes makes me lonely if she does not. ...is soooooooo far away. ...however always is with me. ...can hear my thoughts. ...has a charming smile. ...has eyes as blue as the sea. ...is like the sea. ...is the one I'd like to give my heart. ...is the one whose heart I'd like to carry. ...is the one I have in mind, when I see someone else.…

Der kleine Schneemann (eine Weihnachtsgeschichte von Lormet Ogelall) Vorwort Zunächst einmal soll erwähnt werden, dass es keineswegs einen kleinen Schneemann gibt und diese Geschichte somit auch nicht von ihm handeln kann. Das ist eigentlich auch unwichtig, denkt man an das bekannte Sprichwort „Wer nicht hat was die anderen, der Berg und auch zwei Stullen Quarkauflauf nicht absondern, der sollte auch mit dem Fiebermessgerät nicht zu tief in die bereits vergangene Weltgeschichte eingr…

I'm sick. Have been laying in bed all day. Headache, dizziness, a nose that wants to run away... Can't read, can't eat, can't listen to music, can't use the computer (for longer than writing a post ;))... So you see: I'm soooo poor and need your support! ^^ P.S.: My brother had more or less the same and he was laying in bed for three days. It's just strange that I haven't met him for about a week. So he's not the one who infected me. :s

As a matter of fact the optimist is quite optimistic. Nearly always he sees the good part of things. A thunderstorm e.g. is fantastic and interesting rather than irritating or frightening. Getting wet to the core because of bad timing of a bycicle tour (through the rain), makes him laugh rather than shouting curses to the wheathergod. The solution of friends problems is just a matter of different approach and really difficult ones just need some talk to friends, a handful of good will and time t…

"It's when people say..." Deze halve zin hangt er al ruime tijd in mijn gedachten. Ik kom er nog vanaf, nog maak ik hem af. Ik bedoel...als die schijnbaar zin-loze halve zin toch in mijn hoofd blijft haken...misschien is ie juist helemaal niet zinloos?! Misschien is ie juist heel belangrijk. Misschien ook maar net zo belangrijk dat hij me dit doet schrijven. Hoe dan ook. Ik kan de zin niet afmaken, er geen punt achter zetten. Hij blijft maar half. Natuurlijk heb ik al tig mogelijke tweede hel…
