Happy New Year To Both My readers
Dec 31st, 2008 | By Bock | Category: internetThat’s it. A strange year is over and an even stranger one lurks in the shadows. You can see the round-up HERE.
I want to thank both of my readers for your constant loyalty and your tolerance towards the bullshit you have to put up with on this site. I’m afraid I can’t promise to do any better in the coming year, but I’ll try not to do worse.
I’m preparing a few changes.
I think the site needs a new layout, and we’ll be working on the redesign over the coming weeks. If there are a few hiccups, I hope you’ll try to be as patient with me as you’ve always been in the past, and at the end of it, maybe we’ll manage to improve the thing a bit.
I also intend to introduce the occasional guest posting from people who – unlike me — actually know something. For example, I hope soon to bring you a detailed analysis of the Gaza situation from somebody who has first-hand experience of the area. I also hope to post occasional album reviews and stuff like that, if I can persuade the right people to contribute.
If things go to plan, the site will probably look a bit more like an on-line magazine but I don’t intend to change its character very much. If you’d like to tell me what you think, feel free to shout. I’ll listen to all suggestions, and maybe even act on one or two of them.
We’ll see. If it turns out to be too much hard work or if I don’t like the look of it, I might just say Fuck it! and go back to the way we always did things. How’s that for professionalism and dedication?
Anyway, that’s all I have to say for now, except to wish you a happy new year. Go off and enjoy yourself tonight. Be kind to your friends, your family and yourself. Be well.
I’ll see you in 2009.
have a good one Bock, looking forward to your stuff in the new year.
Happy New Year !
Guten Rutsch, Bock!
And thank you very much.
A Happy New Year to you and yours Bock. Looking forward to all the ranting and raving of 2009. Hope you’ve got a stash of Budvar on ice just waiting to be supped!
And to all at der Bockschloss.
