The gender post

28 January, 2006 (23:17) | Fun stuff | By: Andreas

Since I launched this blog, I have got several e-mails in which I have been called "Andrea". I have also seen a couple of websites where I have been described as a woman. I don't find that offensive at all, because it isn't always easy to know if someone is a man or a woman from the name - especially not when the person lives in another country. I have been wrong about the gender of other people many times, and even made a complete fool out of myself a couple of times. It happens, and it is no big deal…

But, in order to wipe away all traces of doubt and confusion and thereby help the website visitors and template users to avoid misunderstandings, I would like to make the following statement:

I am a man.

Now, with that said, I need to return to my photo albums to find better photos of myself to put on this website…

Edit: removed the "Andreas and her templates" example link.

My grandmother uses AJAX

People keep on talking about this AJAX thing that is said to do amazing things for the Web 2.0. In my search for the truth, I asked my grandmother about it. To my great surprise, she confirmed that AJAX is indeed really good in doing what it is supposed to do. See the photo evidence below:
