Disaster struck …

July 23rd, 2010

… and it struck big time. First the hard disk on my desktop failed, no bother I thought, I have all the data on the server. I created a backup on the server, downloaded it and net thing I know, the hard disk on the server fails. Hey I thought, no sweat, just did a backup of everything.

Sorry folks, I’ll try to revive as much as possible over the next couple of weeks …

Lately …

February 12th, 2010

… I have been a bit lazy with this site. The reason for it is simple, I am creating content for my new site Mini-RC-Tutorials. Besides creating the content there is quite some other things to manage, especially getting the design ready.
