Yes, I'm back

Whoohoo! This site is back online. I had some problems with the server. After two weeks of calling, e-mailing and cursing the server has been fixed. Maybe I’ll host this site somewhere professional. But I always have a lot of demands. And one of them...

Bass guitar

Tim_online

Last week school started and this half year should be my last half year at (this) school. This half year I have a training period at a little company called TIM_online. At the end of the period I have to write a couple of reports, but that’s to boring...
