Today was the two-year celebration from my first column in “Timpul Liber”, the Thursday supplement of Romania Libera newspaper. There are two full years without skipping a week because of one of my departures or holidays. Or even I was far away of Romania the column was there, in 45th page of the supplement. There were, if I remember well two times when the column was moved to the 47th page – both times because a commercial for Traian Basescu (first for Bucharest elections and then for the presidential elections).

I don’t praise my self too much. I know that not all my articles were good. I know that I had mistakes in the way of writing or in the way of gathering my information. There were times when I was out of the country and remembering that I forgot to write the weekly material I was creating it in the train. I am not proud of this … because I know those stories were not my best material ever. Sometimes I think I have to do like George and make the Saturday the special day of the week for writing articles, replying to the readers and up dating the site. But who knows when I’ll be able to define this kind of day. In the last two years I chose to be always in the move … And maybe this I’ll be doing for some more years now on. So, my readers will still have to enjoy my bad-writing-on-the-plane-or-on-the-train-or-from-the-middle-of-nowhere.

Trying to add all the things that happened, of course, things related to the weekly column I can say the next few things:
- I have made a 65 year-old reader to create and e-mail account on Yahoo!;
- I made some people in their 50’s to convince their children living in other countries to use on line messengers for keeping in touch;
- I’ve learned new things my self;
- I’ve build three versions for the web site where I am uploading also the articles from “Timpul Liber”. Now I am finishing the fourth – hopefully I’ll be a very busy person in the next year so probably no time for new versions.
- I bought most of the Thursday the newspaper because I wanted to have the supplement for my collection. I always was too late in the office to catch one of the free exemplary of the supplement.

Things that I haven’t accomplished yet:
- improving my writing and became a very good and famous IT advisor (like people from The Observer);
- never asked for a chaging the title from “Dictionar de adrese pe Internet” in whatever else sounds better ;
- Forgot to send a letter to one of my readers that asked me via traditional letter some advices and also he told me he likes Naples; I’ve put in an envelope some postcards, together with my answer at his questions, but I never went at a post office. And when I remembered was too late because I didn’t find the letter anymore;
- Never brought flowers to all my females-colleagues;
- Never took out for a beer the one that inspired me … and that put me the Netscape Composer into my hands (God, I hate that program!).

Never is too late???
