Last year I didn't, because I wasn't feeling like it. This year I'll revive the tradi... media betabug 2010-01-04T12:36:54Z http://betabug.ch/blogs/ch-athens/792 Today with a post simply called One, Kat from American in Athens celebrated one year of that most useful blog. When I saw the post, I honestly couldn't believe that it's been only one year.

Όλοι οι εκδότες (εντάξει, δεν ξέρω αν είναι όντως όλοι) βάζουν τα βιβλία που " ξέμειναν " σε ένα μεγάλο παζάρι σε τραπέζια. Οι τιμές ξεκινάνε από 1 Ευρώ.

So far most of them remarked on the cake in one of the pictures, bummer.

Time to try out my new camera in low light or night situations. I planned to make these pictures for my (yet to be published) review of my new camera (coming Real Soon Now™).

Three years of more or less lazy or busy "blogging". There's again more visitors, but not as dramatic an increase as I had in 2006. There's also me slacking a bit more, with the post frequency sometimes going down to a post every 3 or 4 days. I think the passing December was the worst month in that respect. I'm not going to worry or put pressure on myself there, when I have something to write, I'll unslack enough. But let's have a look at the passing year... media betabug 2008-01-01T12:37:36Z http://betabug.ch/blogs/ch-athens/734 Schon wieder habe ich letzten Freitag die Nachrichten verpasst.

As far as we got right now, because some of the fires are still burning. Let's start in chronological order.
