SylkeWeb – Sylke’s mutterings to herself on an island not so far away

Archive for November 2008


Want to be grossed out?

I found this in the Cosmic Buddha blog:

Eating Mickey (or, how I overcame one of my last food prejudices)

Don't read if you are a vegetarian or very squeamish. I found the first photos hilarious and the result quite interesting to be honest.

Yum yum.

SylkeWeb will be offline for some days

Frank has been looking around for a better internet provider than effing TalkTalk and it turns out that we have to go back to British Telecom first. All other providers rent the phone lines from BT and if you were with somebody else they apparently cannot switch you over to their network. So much for free competition, this is still a monopoly position for BT and it's sooooooooooo mega annoying. So our phone line will be switched to BT one of these coming days and we'll have no internet until Frank has found a new provider. No internet means no SylkeWeb and no surfing for me. Gah, that's just horrible!

Anyway, have a good week or so without me. I'll miss you all! Sniff.

Yannick photos from February 2008

It's old photos again!

Among these are a bunch taken at the Alresford steam train station and we have a photo of Thomas there too. At the time Yannick didn't even know Thomas, but I'm sure if I'd show him this photo now he'd be very excited. You can also see Yannick holding hands with other children and sitting on his tv throne dressed up strangely (another photo he will kill me for later in his life…). Enjoy.

Yannick photos from January 2008

And some more posting done, Yannick at the beginning of this year!

I can't believe how much he changed. You only ever see that when looking at old photos and thinking back at how he used to behave.

And again, a login is needed to see these pictures. You can register yourself at the gallery actually, only takes a sec. However, if I don't know you or don't recognise your name, you'll be deleted. Sorry.

Yannick photos from December 2007

About time, here are our photos from last Christmas and some others too!

Yannick will probably kill me later for the very first photo… :P

Oh, yes, a login is needed to see these pictures. If you don't have one please leave me a message on my contact page and I'll sort that out.

WTF, changed internet service provider…

… and now nothing works. Beware of TalkTalk.

I hate sales people who don't know what they are talking about. They promise you what you want to hear (broadband with static IP address) instead of what they really have on offer (no static IP address). We fell for it and now we need to look for a new one to get SylkeWeb back on-line permanently instead of intermittently.

On top of that, ever since we are with TalkTalk our connection has become really flaky. I'm not happy at all.
