Hello World, this is the first message on my Weblog… Browsing the web for Japan related websites, I discovered the webloggers community (http://www.domodomo.com, http://www.wirefarm.com, …), exchanging ideas about their life in Japan, things they discover on the Net, and so on and so on… So here I am as well, I am starting my weblog… Don’t know yet if I will find interesting things to say, or if I will have enough time to make regular updates, but let’s see…
Update of 19 May 2003
I have mainly been concentrating on the updates of my Links page lately. You will find new interesting links in all sections. Please have a look and don’t hesitate to send me interesting ones of the same topics. I have also added a new page in the Music part, a playlist of the music I like the most. This is my best selection. I’ve been listening a lot of good things lately, I’m in discovering new things as some time before when I was younger. Coming back to the links, don’t miss the Quirky Japan Homepage, I’ve learned a lot of interesting things. It’s funny to find answers to things I’ve always been wondering without finding an answers (like why japanese see the green Traffic light as a blue light). Mostly for people living in Japan though. I really wish to add a lot more links to the culture and Japan parts in the future, maybe thinking to write a little more on this website about living here and stuff… when I can get some time for it. Anyway, just thinking how this website would evolve.
Update of 16 April 2003
It has been some time already without any updates. Well, I moved to a new server, as my previous host is stopping his service. I moved to www.rcthost.com, following Eddie’s recommendation. It’s fast, it offers some useful functionalities such as the guestbook I am now using. I took the oportunity to work on some of my pages, especially the links ones which were not Mozilla compatible (they are now). I updated the party2002 page as well with some comments.
