Meine Webseite erstmals Deutsch
Meine Webseite ist nun erstmals auch mit einer deutschen Top Level Domain (.de) zu erreichen. Auf dieser Seite werden nach wie vor alle Daten gesammelt, die es auch auf martin-geber.com gibt: Meine Fotos, meine Lesezeichen, meine Musiktitel, etc. Diese Dinge sind natürlich immer noch auf Englisch (mal ehrlich: Wer will schon über 1.100 Fototitel und -beschreibungen übersetzen?).
