It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged last time. Time passed by too quickly and a lot of things happened.
First there was Fields of Rock, the metalfestival on Fathersday. We went to to festival with my sis, Manuela and her b/f, Sander. It was great weather that day. We saw Disturbed, Stone Sour, Marylin Manson and… METALLICA! And ofcourse lots of other bands, but I only liked the ones I mention.
Marylin Manson did a great show! The sound was terrific, he sounded just like on his albums. The singer of Stone sour mentioned the day before he became father for the first time, so it was great the band didn’t cancel.
And ofcourse Metallica was a great experience! We were able to get pretty close to the stage and had a pretty good view. Luckily we had some guys near us who stopped annoying people trying to bumping into the crowd to try to get more close to the stage and people dancing wildly.
At the end of the show Metallica said:”See you indoors in March next year!”. So I am sure they will come back to Europe for another tour and will visit Holland as well!!!
Ries and I went to the Czech Republic for our holidays. We had a real good time. The country is very beautifull and our house was beautifull. The people were very nice, they really wanted to help you even though we had a barrier of language. The culture is ver very beautifull. It’s a pity to see how communism had put such a rich country into poverty.
I hope to upload some pics of our holiday asap, but still got lots of other important stuff to do, so it may take some time.
When we came home from our holidays Ries’ sis Rowena got married to Danny 2 days later, on June 30. They got married on Monday morning 9 am, as at that time it’s free to get maried at the cityhall. Two families sponsored the whole day.
Rowena asked Ries for making photographs, so our weddinggift was a complete weddingalbum. I still need to add some weddingpics in a second album, I hope to finish al pics coming weekend.
I also had a daytrip to Sixflags with Manuela. We had a great time, even though it was raining cats and dogs al day. Sixflags is a rollercoasterpark. It has about 7 or 8 rollercoasters, of wich the Goliath is most terrifying of all. We screamed a lot as the ride was so scary and we really came out very naucious, and were feeling like spinning around.
Last Sunday I finally finished my tagboard and uploaded it to my server. Now I got my tagboard fully under control, so if anyone ever abuse it again I can finally go into action as ip’s are logged.
There are still some small features I would like to change on the tagboard, but so far I am not able to change them.

I am working very hard to get a new tagboard online. I’ve found a script wich complies to my standards.
As it’s all written in PHP it takes me a lot of time to adjust the look of the tagboard. I need to do a lot of surfing around the help forum of the script to find out how to adjust the script. Also need to look in the source of other peoples sites to see how they solve some of the problems I am dealing with.
But I think I am on my way now, a few minutes ago I got a breakthrough: suddenly I realsied how to solve my major problem. But I will work on it tomorrow (ok, I know, actually it’s today, but as I still didn’t get any sleep, for me it’s tomorrow).
For now I am off to bed.

Today my sis-in-law, Rowena, called. She had a great announcement: She’s pregnant again!
I am so happy for her and Danny. I mean, it’s maybe a month ago she told us they decided to have another child. So it really happened very quickly.
As the pregnancy is still in the beginning fase Danny and Rowena didn’t tell their 3 year old daughter Sarissa yet. As soon as the 1st 3 months have passed they will tell her.
Tomorrow Ries will finally get his custom made tatoo. It’s a Capricorn, as it’s his sign of the Zodiac. When the tatoo artist finishes the tatoo he will tear the drawing as he made it especially for Ries. I am so curious about the tatoo.
Actually I wanted to come with him, but that’s impossible, as my brother-in-law Sander will come with him. Our car doesn’t have a backseat. Sander is having his excisting tatoo extended tomorrow.
I am working on a new tagboard right now. I found a php script with some great features: ip logging, ip banning, automatic installation of the script, filters and lots more.
I managed to get the script installed on my server, it works, all I need to do is to make a template for my site.
