Some of the recent, or previously unlinked to, sections of this site are:
-Lecture by Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart and George Duke on 23 April 1975 Transcript. The audio file can be downloaded from HERE. Transcribed by yours truly. I had a lot of fun doing this, but I am likely to have made a lot of mistakes. Several are corrected, but if you find any others, don't hesitate to contact me.

-Pros and cons of tobacco use, a chapter from a book on tobacco and its history by Hermann Pilz. I translated this chapter to English, from Dutch. My origin was a translation in itself from German.An interesting ca 1900 view on tobacco: apparently the dangers of nicotine were well-known in this time; but nobody wanted to believe it.
Pros and Cons of Tobacco Use
The text section of this page is not only very large, but also requires some explanation. When I started publishing my ramblings, back in 1997, now ten years ago, my homepage was nothing but a picture of me, followed by a huge amount of stories, links, ramblings and nonsense. Later I got another page. It showed my comic The Middle-Aged Twos (TM2). When I got tired of its low quality drawings, I turned it into a snippet page, filled with flimsy fragments of works.
While my website is now a little more orderly, the original pages are still there, in the form they held then: simply looooooooooooooooong slabs of words.
Link to tm2.htm: college texts, fairy-tales, comics, plays, and a game walkthrough.
Link to THE INCREDIBLE: How to play Clue, The Magic Violin, and more.
Articles that were in phase 2 of this site are:
Big Clause and Little Clause Fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, and my personal favourite of all fairy-tales. It appeared on TM2 in 1997, disappeared after a year, and was brought back to life in 2003.
COOKBOOK OF LONELY HEARTS never got any further than 2 recipes: BOBOTI for 1 and fried Spaghetti
Aside from the music and the comics, I'm a keen gamer. I'm especially fond of the older adventure games, like the Leisure Suit Larry series. And puzzle games, pinball and cards, but that's all outside the scope of my game section. This section comprises of several "game companions": a readable walkthrough, accompanied by point list, cheats, easter eggs, and various other trivia. In some cases I split these companions over 3 or 4 pages; sometimes in just one. There's also a list of games I have on sale, or up for trade. Unfortunately, a lack of time makes progress on this site very slow, so some works may take a while.

With the crash of our old PC, it will take some time until all my files are complete. It will all be there though, and it'll be worth the wait!
Unfortunately I used to have the habit of tossing away texts I didn't use anymore: while the Clause tale was saved, several game articles (Fort Boyard challenge, Super Collapse) and music reviews (eg Lisa Loeb - Firecracker, Dweezil Zappa - Automatic, Primus - Animals should not try to act like people) are lost forever.
However: one piece of music review is still here: it's a double concert review of Zappa Plays Zappa - Tour de Frank 2006 in Amsterdam and Brussels. GET IT NOW before the ZFT makes me delete it.
