So here’s 2007…
January 01, 2007Yesterday we had a really great evening at the K116 in Esch/Alzette, with great background music by Tunessy (who are, in fact, the Bukowski brothers who also did the latest Chris CD and own the Pick-a-Back Studio).
So what's new? Some weeks ago I promised that Pagan Lorn live footage would become available in early 2007 - so here we go, the Pagan Lorn Concert in Beaufort from 1996 is now online. And you can order (unofficial) Pagan Lorn T-Shirts and Jackets in the new Pagan Lorn Fashion Shop.
Cornelios is performing well, you can download the latest version from Sourceforge. The pre-alpha release (which was only targeted at developers and techies) has been downloaded 500 times since its first release early December 2006, and I'm quite happy about the current stats.
Okay, that's all for now, next time I *may* talk about new stuff to expect in 2007...

Storms, dogs, CDs and crappy services…
January 19, 2007Yesterday was pretty stormy and it rained a lot. But after all "Kyrill" didn't hit us that hard here in Luxembourg. At least I didn't notice any damages here at our home so far.
After massive protests against the planned "dog law" in Luxembourg, secretary Octavie Modert finally presented a less severe (or should we better say a "less stupid") version of the directives. Thanks to all of those who spoke up in this case which is a best a demonstration of governmental dullness.
Some more good news: "Open End" by artist Chris is "CD of the week" in the "Revue" magazine.
And we finally had to write a letter to the "Hifi International" administration because of their crappy service, so stay tuned to see how this will continue...

Dexia online banking security alert
January 26, 2007I detected something on the Dexia website I would call a "massive security flaw", so I wrote them a mail and they fixed it. No thank you, only a bullshit statement after I contacted them once more... If you're a Dexia customer I recommend that you instantly remove all browser cache files from your computer (and from all computers you ever used to log into their website) if you don't want anybody to get your password within a few seconds...
Oh yeah, almost forgot: on Friday we wrote a letter to the Hifi International administration as their support service was not able to repair our tv remote for about 7 weeks, plus a copy to the ULC - now guess what - on Monday I got a phone call that it had been repaired (for free) and that it was now ready. The support guys were a bit pissed when I got there, but at least we once again have a working remote.

www.bullyfashion.com
February 07, 2007Had so much work during the last few days that I didn't find any time to write. So here we go again...
Our new webshop is online, it's called Bullyfashion and you can buy T-Shirts, Longsleeves, Jackets and Gifts with Bulldog designs (English Bullies and a few Frenchies too) there. We're shipping to Europe and Japan, so if you're a Bulldog fan it will be definately worth taking a look at it.
The Dexia bank changed their login so that passwords are a bit better protected. But after all their reaction was unprofessional and disappointing if you ask me. Got a few reactions which I will post online in few days...
