A warm welcome dear visitor...
Do you know what the most likely answer of any programmer
would be if you asked him about the status of his project?
"Almost done..." would probably be the
answer for many weeks, months or even years to come
and I'm not only talking about Microsoft programmers
here... My homepage is close to final since end
of 2006 and I am still updating and "improving"
it every now and then - mostly because it's quite some
fun to service your own homepage... ;o))
Unfortunately my website is no longer fully compatible
with the new generation of web browsers. No problems
with Internet Explorer up to version 7. The new IE8
however requires to use the compatibility view from
the "Extras" tab to display my homepage properly.
Unfortunately Mozilla's Firefox does not provide such
an option so the layout is somewhat distorted when using
Firefox. Apologies for this inconvenience.
This homepage is online since mid 2003. I created
this web presence out of curiosity and "stuffiness"
in summer 2003 - mostly because my broadband provider
offered this service for free. Doing so I learned
two facts quickly: it is much easier today than in the
glorious old days of computers to make things work;
however it is still as difficult and tiresome to achieve
exactly the results you have in mind. My first
idea to make my own music available for downloading
was not realisable in the beginning - I have to admit
that I simply lacked the knowledge... The next
step forward was in March 2005... - a chat with our
company's IT-Manager about a completely different subject
opened my eyes all of a sudden and I finally managed
to put my songs online.
Since then my homepage underwent several modifications;
new topics were implemented - as for example my photo
album - new hobbies, pictures and updates on my gear
were integrated and also my personal info was updated
from time to time.
Some Highlights of the past years:
- Peter Autschbach's remarks on my interpretation
of one of his songs in my guest book (Peter is an
internationally acclaimed German Jazz-Guitarist)
- Many old friends were able to get in touch with
me again... - and I am really grateful about each
'new' old contact! :-)
- In November 2005 one of my songs was chosen
as background music for another homepage... - and
can still be heard there... ;o))
(http://www.unserkaminzimmer.de/frhaupts_berndausciao.htm)
- The visitor count is still growing permanently.
My music was downloaded more than 5000 times until
December 2009 and the feedback is surprisingly positive.
Honestly, I did not expect anything like this
at all in the beginning. :-))
Like in most other "households" there is
always something to 'clean' up or to fix with my homepage...
- thus this website will remain "work in progress"...
;o))
I'd be pleased if you left a short note in my guest
book (Don't be shy please!) or if you are interested
