Today, I finally deleted the old blog at the wordpress site, because I was not longer maintaining it, and bye now, all of you should have figured out that I moved it to this beautiful new site. I’m still in progress of migrating the images from the old site, but I hope to have this finished by the end of the weekend. Meanwhile, my holidays already seem so long ago, because immediately after coming back to OUNL a couple of deadlines appeared. Some developments seem very interesting, like for example writing a book chapter (due next week) and also we are requested to participate in a new project dealing with mobile learning…Exciting, but also seem a lot of work is coming my way, we’ll see
Got this video from Danish, after we were chatting about cultural differences between Europe and India and other countries, even within Europe. This video has been made by an Italian and summarises my Italian experience to some extent
If you’re not sure how to answer this question, please watch the following instructional video and make sure you follow their instructions closely…naturally if and only if you’re a US native.
Hi everyone, just back from my Holidays in Italy (a post about it will follow soon) so there you have your explanation for the recent lack of updates to this blog. I’m also still twiddling a bit with wordpress and still have to move some of the stuff from the old blog to the new one. For example, wordpress has this irritating thing that it does not save you blogroll when you export your blog which means that I have to manually add all the links to your sites again… don’t despair though I will add them again soon
And yes, finally my own little webspace for this blog. Tally persuaded me to buy a new domain with associated webspace and today I bought it and immediately migrated this blog, from now on all my posts will be made to this site. So, updated your bookmarks and rss readers. As for the domain name, it’s derived from an old 70s show called Mind your language which I’m currently hooked on.
Also, Hendrik brought in the perfect pirate beer today, would you need some alcoholic help in getting rid of your pirate-blocking inhibitions; Störtebeker, Schwarzbier “Das Bier der Gerechten” Yaarrrrr!
Update: And finally it’s international speak like a Pirate Day. Stefan Apelt pointed me this awesome pirate speak translator, so heave your sails and sail to:
Hi everyone, shortly wanted to inform you that I added a small page giving a little bit of biographical information about me. You can access it on top of this page, by *big surprise* clicking the “About Me” tab. I really managed to write quite a bit, but because I find writing about myself a bit awkward, I also would like to use this opportunity to ask you to write some short comment about me at this page as well. This would give people a more subjective idea of what you think about me, and would be a lot more interesting than that standard biographical yak yak I wrote. Maybe even this is an opportunity to collect some things I might have forgotten to add or even add some nice anecdotes about me .
Just watched a video with one of my old-time friends and most fanatic commenters on this blog as a main character. I really like the atmosphere of it, great work! You can watch it here:
Look at what my dad brought from me from his trip to Tongeren. Nice, isn’t it? Guinness has lots of these kinds of posters for advertising; I saw already a lot of them when we were at the Guinness Museum in St. James Gate, Dublin, last year. I’m thinking of finding some more of them and start a collection. Only problem right now is, where should I place or hang them all….
which means that I have to manually add all the links to your sites again… don’t despair though I will add them again soon
