I threw away several page counters. I know that free counters always have something hidden. When I started G-Peopleland, I used the free NedStat counter, which was very good. There were only adds on the stats pages, where they belong. A few years ago the stats site was sold to the Ad Pepper group and finally returned as Motigo. More Adds to Go this means probably. Pop-ups and recently even slide-unders take over your computer. About a month ago I got a message from an elder viewer of my website who got totally in panic by the adds taking over his computer (thanks to Motigo!). Also I got another complaint today. Since I pay for an add-free website, I find this very frustrating. I don't have this problem, since I use Mozilla Firefox with a very good Pop-Up killer to browser. I can recommend to use this browser very much. Also I can very much recommend not to use Motigo counters. Goodbye 200,000 visitors in the past 68 months.

Back to G-Shock. I got a very special basic model in the mail. Since I am aware that this model exists, I was looking for it. I think I have looking for a G-2400 for probably over 4 years. It's a bit strange I think you don't see this model much.  I know it was sold as a basic model and there should be quite a number sold. The G-2400 is special because it's the only G-Shock with a lap memory function for the Stopwatch function. If Casio likes to add a feature, they like sometimes to exaggerate. Runners watches by Timex often have lap memories. some have 30, others 50 and there are some having a memory of 100 laps, but this G-2400 has a lap memory of 500 laps!  If you use this on a 400m (1200ft) track, you can use it for a training of 200 km!

It is my 60th G-Shock this year. Actually there is still one G-Shock on the way. A very special one from a friend of Spain. I won't tell any more, yet ;-) I can recommend to look at 50 Gs. Tomorrow I will post my last post (since I reached my goal, 50 G-Shock's). If you like my weblog, you might encourage me by leaving me a comment in "Intermezzo #4". I would very much like that. If I got enough encouragement, I might consider to take the challenge and try to do a second year with 50 G-Shock articles..

Well, everything didn't went like planned last Wednesday. The cast was removed in the bandage room of the Hospital and the bandage-master wanted to give me a bandage. When he wanted to put a layer over my hand he slightly touched my hand. The pain was indescribable. I went through the ground. According Eva, the waiting room had heard me scream too. The doctor who was standing at the other site of the bandage room said: cast again. Since the bandage room is closed for Christmas, the cast will be removed on December 29th. I can't wait for that. It's very difficult sleeping with it (it is a cast from my thumb to my armpit) an a lot of other things, including typing on my keyboard, are pretty hard to do. I ordered  the 2nd season of the new Doctor Who series, so I hope to have something to kill time, since I can't do too much with one arm.  I have a nice bottle of Beaujolais Villages in the shed, which will be opened the day the cast is removed. Something extra to look out for!

I found this great movie yesterday. I had it on video tape years ago, but we don't have a working Video for over two years now (it's a TV stand now).  It is hidden behind a age checker, but I think that's a little over protective, I don't think it will cause a "Heap of Trouble". Before you know it you keep singing this song. Enjoy!

Probably this is the last news update in 2008. I hope you have a great Christmas and the best G-Shock wishes for 2009! I hope you visit G-Peopleland then too!

In spite of my recently acquired "Lucky Cat", I was not very lucky yesterday. On the way to school I didn't notice the fog was frozen on the street. Although I didn't thought it was a hard fall, I could not move my left arm. In hospital I was wrapped into a X-Ray (that hurt a lot). I was brought pretty immediately to a treatment room. I had broken my radius.

I was treated with painkillers, so my arm could be set in the position for the splint plaster. Well, yesterday the pain was bearable, but last night was a nightmare. It will take a few weeks to heal I'm afraid. It's not very clear on my X-Ray photo, but there is a gap in the radius shown in the circle. Though it is hard to see, I can assure you it is really there ...

Most frustrating. When Eva left, the postman gave me a package. I simply could not open it, because I only had one hand (and I am a little bit clumsy with my arm in plaster. Also typing is not my favorite hobby at the moment. I can only use my right arm, while balancing my left arm somewhere between. Quite a pity. I just counted I have about 10 G-Shocks in the past months.  There are some pretty interesting models amongst them. I already have written about the GC-2000 on 50 Gs (I see I have to correct the model number, as it says GC-2000). Finally a Rock Native model, two pink DW-6900FS models (both different though) and some free fight G's. There might be a very interesting Riseman added this year too. It might take a while before I can update. I am also struggling to get my 49th G-Shock post of 50-Gs on track. With the speed of one hand typing, that can be a very slow and frustrating writing process (let go the pics).

The MIRO Mudman and Gulfman were already a few weeks on-line, but I forgot to update the news section.

Some nice G-Shocks came in. First of all I got a DW-5200C. "Another one?" you may ask. Well, yes and no. I got the first one from a good friend of me two years ago. Recently he got regret. He had worn the watch for many years. His watch was from 1985 and might been bought in the same year. He suggested a trade with a recent acquired DW-5200C including a refreshment kit. So his DW-5200C is now on its way to Chicago and I received mine. I already striped it and removed the single slot screws.

With the DW-5200C also came a grail watch. I have seen the analog GS-2000. It is one of the first MT-G models. MT-G stands for Metal Twisted G-shock, a way to say a mix of metal and resin parts are used. One might say this watch combines best of both. The links of the bracelets are both made of metal and resin.  You can't make me much happier than with the yellow dial model. The module is the simplest you can imagine. It only displays time.

From California I got a great Rock Native model. It is the DW-003RB-5T and has a brown leather strap and an alligator in the EL backlight. Actually this watch was also a grail for me, as I always wanted one of these series in my collection but never found one until now.

Last Thursday I got the last watch in. It is my second pink DW-6900 Crazy Colors. It is real fun to wear this watch, as you got much (positive) attention with it. It's unusual color matches my great Stussy x Eric Haze T-Shirt.

It seems I have a lot of updating to do for G-Peopleland. I also have the M.I.R.O. Mudman and M.I.R.O. Gulfman to update. Also check out my latest entry on 50 GS. It features on of my DW-8800A. It is not over yet. 5 G-Shocks are on it's way to G-Peopleland, or are about to. All 5 are pretty special, so stay tuned for more...

With December coming I need to be careful how to spend my money. Unlike the countries that celebrate Santa Clause on Christmas Eve, we celebrate Sinterklaas in the Netherlands. You will probably notice that Santa Claus is a poor attempt of an native English speaker to pronounce Sinterklaas. Well, Sinterklaas Eve is celebrated on December 5th, the evening before his "name day" . It's a traditional evening where children get presents of the "holy saint", who arrives at our country a few weeks before his "name day".  Somehow, the good Saint never got me a nice G-Shock, but I'm very curious what he has in mind for our family this year...

I had to work as a cameraman last Saturday on a big stage. I almost had no time to write an article for 50 Gs. When I got home I started taking photo's and surprisingly around 3:00 at night I finished a write-up about my beloved yellow Raysman. I am not sure what will be the next shock for coming Sunday. Suggestions anyone?

Today I found a nice plastic envelop from Australia on my desk. I contained my second A.D.M.A. model. From first sight they look the same, but at closer look the bezel of this one is a little darker and the distance holders are darker, almost mocca brown. The pink DW-6900CS hasn't arrived yet. That would be fun wearing I think.

Further there is a Rock Native (G'Mix?) model coming in from California and I have reserved a great model (bit of a grail for me) at a good friend in Chicago. I have no idea where to get funds for that watch, but I wanted this model for a long time.

The KIKS TYO shirt came in today. The print is awesome in real, and big too. I'm not sure it's "kid's safe" to to wear it to school... I am asked to join a DJ team for a retro Acid night at the end of November. This might be the shirt to wear that night.

I got the opportunity to buy two metal card holders from a friend and G-Shock collector in Sweden. It got a big G-Shock logo edged on it. I needed new cards for my website, so I now have a great matching card holder too. The other one will be kept in it's package for the collection.

Finally also some G-Shock news. I'm afraid not very spectacular, since I already have both models. A friend of me in the UK is thinning out his watch collection. He had a very much used Mudman and a DW-6100 Thermometer for sale at a good price. Since my new computer had hit a pretty deep crater in my financial base (I guess it wasn't me who caused the current the financial crisis) , I can't afford to buy some new ones, but I could spare some dimes for these. I happen to have a new Mudman bezel, so I might restore it in the near future to it's full glory.

Also I couldn't resist. I ordered a second pink "Crazy Colors" DW-6900CS-4. This time from Krazys in Singapore. I might order some other G's there too in the upcoming months. I still want to have extra S-Kool G-5500 models. That red and green one are very nice. Also I found a second ADMA model for a friendly price. I think I'm bankrupt again in a week... Specially if I tell you I have two other nice G's in my scope...

People who am missing me on forums and blogs... Since I have finally the new computer I wanted for over a year or so, I bought two Command and Conquer games. Tiberian Wars and the add-on The Wrath of Kane. It's pretty hard to get through the plot. I am stuck  in Sarajevo (level 10?).  It might take a while before I have finished this game. At the end of October Red Alert 3 will be released (see October 15th). That's going to be a hot Christmas vacation!

You have probably noticed. My website has those nasty pop-ups again. As a kind of marketing trick Motigo Stats changed the odes. While uploading the new codes, nasty pop-ups and slide unders appear. Too bad Motigo throws the good reputation of the good old Nedstats counter in the waste bin. You can get rid of the adds by upgrading to a professional account. That costs about 10 times what I pay for bannerless hosting per page! Well, I shall have to remove these counters soon. I started bannerless hosting, because I hated these unwanted adds.

Today I got a news flash from KIKS TYO. They have a new limited edition series, called thefirst  KIKS TYO Artist Exclusive series. I couldn't resist and ordered the Jimbow T-Shirt in purple. That Tee looks awesome and also combines my love for ATARI game consoles and skate tees.

Last weekend was a real science weekend for me. Saturday I visited a a chemical plant that makes resin bases for glues, adhesives and chewing gum.. I have never realized that chewing gum must be kosher and halal.  Sunday it was national science day, so we went to the provincial library. There were a lot of activity for kids. To our surprise Bram won the first price in a quiz. First he had to solve three Tangram games on the computer. Bram could not catch up with the other, much older children, but catch up in translating Braille codes.  When a Fibunacci series had to be completed, I helped a bit (you can't ask to finish the series from 13 with 5 extra ciphers from an 8 year old I think).  Well, he got a MP-3 player as first price. Now he's dancing through the living room all day. I guess he think it is a great price.

A familiar voice said hallo. When I looked next to me, it were the twins Hilde and Julia. Unbelievable. The last time I saw them both together must have been four years ago. It looks like no time had passed.

Finally G-Shock news. U took a lot of pictures Saturday night. My new computer and monitor were great and fast tools. You can now visit my new pages of the Men In Rescue Orange Riseman (Atomic version) and also my MRG-100.  If you can't have enough of the MIRO Riseman, I have written an article on 50Gs too with great different photo's as usual.

I write, so I exist. After almost a week stress, I got a new computer, which I hope will serve me at least for the coming 5 years. Yesterday I managed to get my new computer. I have been installing and upgrading the system since. That means I'm now over 24 hours working, but everything seems to work as it should (well, almost). I even managed to get my camera connected. I also bought a new LCD display. I have to work now in a much higher resolution as I was use to. Also I am trying to use Filezilla to upload my new pages. This one is the first.

Tomorrow I will visit a chemical plant on the other side of the city. I have no ideas what they produce, but I will find out tomorrow. It is also a good excuse to get a fresh nose. Diving into system case and piles of back-up cd's does not make you very happy. You gather a lot of dust too as you can see on my Riseman. I think I will also crawl into my bed too. Keep your eyes open on 50 Gs, I made an article of one of my new Gs with a lot of fun photo's. Also the chance of a special Japanese guest contribution on 50 Gs is near, though I'm not sure all was understood... well, those translation machines.

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

So you have a long time no updates, so you have three in a row. Nope, no G news. I have to get almost €1000 together, to buy myself a new PC. I think it has good specs. Two hard drives, a small 500Gb and a 750Gb. I think they can do the job for the next 5 years. In a few months I want an external back-up drive too, so I spread the risk

Since I think I have a pretty nice graphic card (NVIDIA G-Force 9600)  I hope I finally can play the new Command & Conquer games. I only mentioned it on the phone with my my computer tech friend and Bram was one and all ear. A year ago he played Generals (rated 16+?) first two levels of the missions without problem. Since these games are more or less strategic and economic SIM war games, I think the PG is a bit over rated. I used to play games like Quake  and Soldier of Fortune in the past. I think the PG is more on the place with these first person shooters (as the scenes are more realistic and splashy).

I just visited the C&C website and saw Red Alert 3 was announced to be launched. Where have I been. They (USA) have a new Tanya . I liked the RA2 Tanya more, but actually the Russian Natasha is much hotter! To be complete,  a third super power. The Empire of the Rising Sun gets involved with the conflict between the Soviets and the Allies. This is going to be a hot winter. Look out for those cute Teddy Bears!!!

Does anyone read the 50 Gs weblog? I hope you do. I try to writer something about one of my G-Shocks every week. I'm not sure there is going to be an article of my hand this weekend. I simply have to set-up my new system then. In my last article I had a pupil of my school made the photo's. She has some photography experience, but kept asking me for advise. You can't give advice if you haven't seen any material, so I let her make a series of photo's. After analyzing and discussing the first batch, a second bath of photo's followed. It was still hard to choose from over 70 photo's, but I think she showed much improvement.

Actually I was already thinking about guest photographers. There is another pupil, who does a study for his profile on aperture and shutter times. Also I would like Richel, my big photographical example, to do a future photo session. Secretly I would like a Japanese friend to write an article, in both Japanese and English. Well, so many plans, so short of time...

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Finally the computer store was open, so I tried to be the first customer. I wasn't. Imagine a small store, approximately 10 meters long, 2 meters wide, completely stocked with piles of PC stuff and LCD screens. It is known to be one of the best stores in the wide area, so even at the opening it was already crowded by people. I guess they were not all hit by the Service Pack 3 kill.

Today I got 2 G-Shocks in. Both very special. First of all (you could have expected it) the M.I.R.O. Riseman. The second watch is a great looking MRG-100 (while I actually thought it was a DW-8900, the overseas version of the MRG-100). 

They both look awesome! I don't want to make too many photo's yet. I have made a big back-up of my most important folders and files. If I get my new PC, I don't want to make too many back-ups again.

-------------------------------

Monday, October 13th, 2008

It's been a long time for a news update. Most important reason is that still no new G-Shock was received. After a month no G-Shock's, I can't wait to get a new G in my hands. Actually two G's should have received me last week, but somehow nothing has received yet. One of course is a M.I.R.O. model,  the Riseman to be precise. The other one is a very nice heavy G-Shock. I hope it will receive soon.

Unfortunately my Windows XP crashed pretty heavy after installing Service Pack 3. All my e-mails and my address book is lost.  A police officer from the US contacted me last Friday to tell me about his experience with his G-Shock that was asking info about the GW-M5600, please contact me again. I read your mail, but it is lost now.

If I might get a new G-Shock, it might get a while before I update my website. I am going to order a new PC tomorrow. It took me 3 days to get my PC working the way it does now. It might take up to about 5 days before I can get a new computer, so I can't probably update for about a week.

I was looking at an auction of a M.I.Y Fisherman today. I don't have much money (all saved for the expensive Men In Rescue Orange models) , but I gambled with a €60.- bid. It's pretty sour to see this beauty went for just €65.-. It is the only model I miss from the Men In Yellow series... Bummer.

A G-Shock magazine of 1999 arrived today. It's the G-Shock Perfect Book. It's a nice magazine with a lot of pictures of Master of G's and models that were released around that time.

I finally updated the website with pages for my pink Crazy colors and Michael Lau. Now I have updated my website and am not expecting a new G-Shock before the M.I.R.O. models will be out, I will now work on the private website of my parents that has not seen much improvement this week. Enjoy your G!

An old Dutch saying says "You don't have anything when do not try. I have been lurking at the G-Shock T-Shirts at the Quolomo website. Although I was told an international shop would open in spring, it still didn't appear. I had some spare time (rare now) at school and started filling in an order form for the grey GW-200 Tee. In Japanese! Although there were some small hick-up's, I managed to fill in the complete form in about 45 minutes. When I came through all steps I came to a secure page for payment. In the past you could only pay with  your bank account, but now they accept credit cards. I even got a "thank you for ordering and payment" mail in Japanese...

Within an hour (that was fast), I got a mail from the KIKS TYO International Headquarters in Tokyo. They had a good laugh about my order (I'm probably a girl/woman again, either aged 14 or 89 as at my Weblog School reports lately). They confirmed they looked through their fingers that I filled in Middleburg, The Netherlands as shipping city. The shirt is on it's way. Let's hope the international store will open soon!

Monday, September 8th, 2008

School has begun two weeks ago. It's already very busy with experiments. My parents were married 50 years last week, so I had my hands full on the festivities last week. It was a great party and behind the scenes I'm very busy building a (private) website for family and friends of my parents. I have about 500 photo's to edit, so if I won't answer mails or private messages... I will be probably editing photo's or building the website.

In the meantime two great watches arrived. The first is the DW-6900SA-1JF designed by  Michael Lau. It was a model I was lurking for since it's release in April 2005. What a great looking model this is and if you think you have seen it all, check out the EL backlight!

The second arrival is the pink Crazy Colors model. Not sure if I'm going to wear this one...

Let's say it's very pink... On the pictures it looks like it is made of raspberry pudding, and frankly, it does look like it in real too, ha ha.

Well, I took a lot of photo's, but I haven't got time to edit them all. Soon I will make two pages of these two great models.

-------------------------------

Tuesday, August 25th, 2008

After a week waiting at the customs office, it's finally here. I think this is one of the best 5600's I have ever seen. I was glad Seiya-san had it already on his website. Eric Haze designed this model for the 25th Anniversary. It is brought as a Limited edition, but it's available in Japan, East Asia, Europe and the US. Probably not what you would expect of a limited edition. It doesn't bother me, I am so happy to get this watch. It made me forget the €33.- customs bill on this €80.- watch (ouch!). 

The summer holidays have been very expensive. An extra tax bill wasn't very helpful either. Still I managed to scrape money together for a watch I have been lurking for a long time. I think I will keep it a little secret, before I show it here (or 50 Gs).

Also I got a conformation mail from Katsu Higuchi that the pink DW-6900CS-4JR has arrived. I'm so exited. The Men In Rescue Orange models are scheduled for the end of September. Release date should be around September 20th. I'm glad I still have some time to save up money for this series.

-------------------------------

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

While writing my news for today, I notice that it's my sister Thea's birthday. Congrats sis! It's in the middle of the summer holidays. Sine we went to France in May, we stay here in the Netherlands this summer. This does not mean we only stay at home. Actually it seems even busier than the past years.

A week ago we went to Leiden. Bram wanted to visit Corpus, an exposition inside a gigantic human corpus, traveling through the living processes of the human body. I wanted to combine this trip with a visit to my friend Jurphaas, who was so enthusiastic that he offered us a lunch and joined us at Corpus.

Although G-Shock was not our main motive, Jurphaas was very interested in my Riseman. Of course Jurphaas showed me his small, but impressive collection of G-Shock's:

From left to right: Ocean Grey DW-5025D, Glorious Gold GW-M5625E and Dawn Black AWG-525A. Absolutely eye catching was the DW-8900 he was wearing. It was the watch that got him interested in G-Shock's. As time flew by, we almost forgot to take photo of us together. I hope we soon can meet again, so we can make a visit to Belgium.

Though I look a lot to the Olympics in Beijing, my eye fell on  a very nice G-Shock in Japan. According the Track and Trace my watch already arrived in Amsterdam Airport. I hope it will reach my house without customs delay. I have not heard from the pink DW-6900CS Crazy Colors. I think, like often happens with monthly releases, that this watch will be released at the end of the month.

One watch came in. It was the Japanese red  DW-6900MC Jam'in Colors model. The Japanese model differs from the overseas model because the light button has a G. The overseas model have a ribbed light button, probably for better grip.

While surfing my own website I noticed that Bram's black GSX-900 Club-G, that he had got from Tribe125, was missing. I took some photo's and posted them on a new page. I also made some nice animated GIF's for the Club-G main page. I'm afraid these GIF's are a bit modem hogs...

Bram recently got interested in wearing his Club-G's. In summer we often visit beaches and lakes. He wants a watch that is water resistant. In the above photo he is wearing proudly his Club G at the fun fair.

-------------------------------

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

I got the new Riseman! It is looking awesome. I took a lot of photo's of the watch. I also made shots of the display in all modes. I think this is a nice extra of this watch with so many features on board.

In the mean time I have enquired information of the new DW-6900CS-4DR and the new M.I.R.O. series. I just got conformation the watches are ordered from Casio. The pink DW-6900CS will arrive in August, the M.I.R.O. models in September.

Last Monday I lost an auction on a great G-Shock lamp. It was a bit of a bummer, until I realized it was quiet big and the shipping cost would be a multiple of the winning bid... Still a bit disappointed I was browsing some sales pages yesterday. I found a great red DW-6900 of the Jam'in Color series for a very good price. It was sold by a good G-Shock friend of me. This G-Shock will get a proud new owner soon.

-------------------------------

Monday July 28th, 2008

Eva's sister, her husband and son Birk are in the Netherlands. Eva's sister gave birth to a son called Rayo. Bram is very proud to have new nephew. In three weeks they will return to their home and work in Uganda.

On July 21st Bram celebrated his 8th birthday. It was a small but great party. We celebrated it together with his nephew Birk, who celebrated his 5th anniversary. 

Bram was very happy with his birthday presents. We gave him the 4 classic Indiana Jones Lego sets and it took us two days to build it all. Several years ago Lego had the Orient series, which were popular by Bram, but it was already  discontinued when we discovered it. The Indiana Jones series look a little like these series, but have a great theme too. One of the temples even show R2-D2 and C-3PO in the hieroglyphs.

Sunday morning a friend an his girlfriend rang the doorbell and asked us if we would like a boat trip. I was still sleeping, but within 20 minutes I we were ready to go. It turned out to be a great day out. I used the opportunity to make photo's for a next article on the 50 Gs weblog. There were some nice Frogman models featured this month. I even wrote an extra article and there was a guest entry from Sili.

During holidays you do everything where you normally have not much time for. Making sushi rice rolls for instance. I made them with smoked salmon and omelets. I hope to make some other variations (sesame, cucumber) soon too. It is so delicious.

Saturday I ordered a new Atomic Riseman. It will be the overseas model, that besides the SI-units also features ft, inch HG and ºF. I wanted this Riseman as soon as I heard from it and I am very happy I finally could order it. I can't wait to have it in my hands.

-------------------------------

Monday July 14th, 2008

The Tour de France has started. We try to look at the tour as much as possible. We like the cycling sport, but also is France one of our favorite countries. It is a great way to see new places, to get ideas for future holidays. I was walking in the city centre last Friday. Bram stopped at a cycle shop and pointed at a Polkadot cap. He persisted he wanted that cap, so I bought it for him. Actually I am a little bit proud for him now.

The Riseman is released last month. Many WUS members have bought one and I have seen marvelous reviews. The watch is awesome, but I have to wait to buy one. It's summer holidays, so I rather use my money for day trips with the family. Maybe it's a good choice, because I have seen the models that will be released in August and September. I was looking for a DW-6900FS in pink, but this August model is looking even more cool. Check out the colored display.

I had a nice conversation about the new Riseman actually. I compared the red eye with the famous HAL-9000 computer (2001 A Space Odyssey). Vintage suggested to nick name the Riseman HAL.

As  smasher Casio is going to release a Men In.... series again. It is going to be a very nice series and I hope to get more than one of them. The series is dedicated to Rescue workers. Jurphaas, if you read this, this will be thé series that will mach my Spyderco rescue knife! This rescue knife is always with me in my photo bag. Name of the series: Men In Rescue Orange (from now on called MIRO). The MIRO Riseman and Gulfman look very nice.

This weekend a small package arrived. It was the nice looking GLX-5600. This classic square looking G-Lide model has a Tidegraph on board and for a classic square, this model is very good looking. I took some photo's and made a new page for it.

I hope you also read the 50 Gs weblog. Today I wrote an article about my first Frogman. I think it is an interesting story. I did not buy it because I loved that model, but bought it out of curiosity. Why were Japanese Collectors so lyric about this strange asymmetric watch. Read the article here. Also Sili published a great story about his white I.C.E.R.C. 2006 Frogman last week with great photo's.
