Hi :) As much as this may come as an unfortunate shock to many, I am anything BUT dead :) What happened is that the local Internet as a result of technical mishaps outside my usually considerable sphere of influence (grin) collapsed on a Sunday afternoon (when in the Ntherlands nobody works, especially not if they are (semi)government related. Combine this with the usual work"speed" of the modern day Internet experts, Easter holidays and you're out of sight for weeks. In simple terms, the local Internet has been restored and I am back online, albeit currently on a somewhat temporary connection. In the next few days we'll be fully up and running as normal.
