It IS a landscape presentation (technically).

It is a special feature of this particular format to behave somehow 
similar to webspace. Other google.docs cannot be used for this purpose.

I have the habit to change the focus of my interests from time to time.

E.g. once I was interested in Chemistry. Later I made a lot of photos 
and had a darkroom and a few exhibitions.

I can also paint quite well. And three little stories of me got published.

Now I spent my free time with electronics, repair of various technical 
stuff (like watches or cameras) and 'conspiracy theories'.

But occasionally I try to bring my 'book' into attention, since - after 
all- it was a lot of work.

But you cannot maintain the ability to do such work for a long time, if 
there is no feedback.

So I decided to do things more directly useful, like renovation of my 
flat, sorting papers and invention of new recipes for pizza.

Yes, actually not a problem to find cheap webspace. But at the time I 
had written that book, I went broke with my bar and had no money at all.
