It is a special feature of this particular format to behave somehow similar to webspace.

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. >> I have spent some years with this 'book'.

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. TH
