My (new) website. (with some dedication to Naim!)
Posted by: Alco on 04 January 2003
Hi guys,
Recently I found out how this Frontpage thing on my PC works.(finally!)
So, about 2,5 weeks ago I started to build my own website, 'about my music and HiFi'
Even 100% round-earth people will probably notice within a few second that I'm a bit of a Naimoholic.
You can check out my HiFi-history and current system, and there are several music samples on the 'my music' page.(blues,Americana,and pop)
It's not completely finished yet. One of the main pages on the website (my system) is still under contruction. (for lack of good pics and because I'm not really satisfied with my system (read:speakers) as it is right now.)
I tried my best to translate most of the pages in English, so that most people can read it.
(One problem for me writing in English is, I never know when to use the word 'then' or 'than')
O well, the site will open in Dutch, but you can choose an English version in the left menu-bar.
I would appreciate your response, tips,likes/dislikes,or other useful comments regarding my website.
(Do you feel someting is missing,incorrect,incomplete,etc or is it fine as it is at the moment.)

Thanx for your tips and compliment, Mr Tibbs
To he honest though, I'm not really into Robben Ford's kinda blues. (although I love some of his songs, like 'mystic miles')
I feel his 'blues' is a bit too modern,polished, fusion-like. I've seen him last year at a blues festival in my area. After about 15 mintues I walked away...
I'm sure there are many more great blues artist (or Americana) but I meant to place just my personal favorites at the moment.

Haha, 
Thanx a lot Thomas!
You couldn't have made it any more clear to me!
Man, I wish my English lessons at school during the early 80's were this funny

Hello Alco, great site. Noticed the reference to the blues harps, my favourite harpist was a Mr Paul Butterfield.Whom I emulated. Brilliant Chicago blues band.
Thanx Raymond!
I've got about 6 or 7 bluesharps laying around. Sometimes I play a bit when I'm in a bluesy mood.
I have heard about the name Paul Butterfield, but never heard his music.
Some favorites to me are Lester Butler, Kim Wilson, Paul Lamb and a Dutch guy named Kim Snelten.
I must confess I haven't listened to blues that much lately. (more things like Alison Krauss, Fred Eaglesmith,and that kinda stuff)
btw, with a little luck I can take over a decent digicam from a friend in a while. This way I can make some better pics of my system.
(that is... when I find some new suitable speakers first!)

You could come over and have a listen once, you know you love the looks, not only of the speakers, but also of the stands, and you haven't heard them on Naim...
Thanks for the kind invitation Bas.
Indeed I like the little Tablette's and the stands are the same as I had before I bought the Kan stands.
Only thing though is, I could listen to your Proac's in your house, with your source,cable and stuff, but that doesn't give me an impression about how they'd sound in my room.
I listened to some Intro's at Art in Sound last year, on the end of my Nait-2. I loved how they sounded in the listening room of the shop, but in my livingroom.... horrible!
(same goes for the SF Concertino's)
but thanks anyway.

Something VERY weird has happened today....
My website didn't appear on the screen, some parts of the day....
Instead though an empty white screen appeared, with the word 'Boe!' in the left topcorner!
Isn't that kinda spooky ?!
'Boe!' is like Boo in English (you know, when you wanna 'scare' someone, you'd say boo!)
At the moment it seams to work ok, but I hope it's not the terror acts of some hacker
well, let's hope it was only temporary...

haha, yeah sure, Herm! 
Checked my site just a minute ago. ..again, a bit white screen only filled with 'BOE!'
Damn, this is f..king irritating
But... I called a friend who know's more about computers than me, and he knew some other sites ending with .tk and we found out they also didn't work and had the same 'Boe!' screen.
So Herman, I guess it's not a personal attack from one of those new groupies

Congratulations on a nice site!!
Thanx a lot Quincy!
I saw that within 1 week people from 24 different countries checked my site. nice!
This morning I checked it at my work, but it was still down, showing nothing else but an empty white screen saying 'Boe!' ...the last couple of hours it seems to be working fine again.
I hope to complete the 'my system' page with some more/better pics of my system in the room.(asap)
(first I've to find me some new speakers!)

Hi Y'all,
I just finished updating my website, with a link in the left-menu bar to a 'my dedication to Naim' page. Also I placed the links to other Naim related (home)pages on this page. (instead of placing 'em all in 'HiFi links'.
Feel free to give some comments,suggestions,tips,or say so if something is missing,incomplete,wrong or whatever
(I also placed a few (poor b/w) system-pics from systems I owned some years ago, before I heard about Naim.)
www.aboutmymusic.tk
that's all for now,
Greetings from a chilly but sunny Holland,
