- 23.06.2008 Hi, everybody. For quite some time this site was practically dead.
This was caused by a number of issues. On the one hand, I had some serious problems with
server migration. On the other hand, the very open comment system I implemented for the VIC
events was abused by spammers to a degree, that they simply exceeded my storage quota and caused serious problems.
I finally was able to eliminate all the spam from the galleries. For now, the comment functionality for
the existing galleries is disabled.
I am still not really recovered from my long hiatus from painting. If people are wondering what is going on with me,
its just job and family. In fact the last thing I really finished painting was a wedding cake topper for us ;-).
I will try to get some pics of it soon, even if it was a rush job. So I hope to get back into this sooner or later.
I hope you enjoy to have access to the VIP and VIC galleries again.
