[Bas]

Perhaps you remember my post about HoogSpel in the blog, now Tyball responded to me the whole list of CD-i titles which have been discussed in HoogSpel magazine: At least don't think CD-i magazine was the only magazine spending their time on CD-i ;) Thanks to Tyball for the list, now I have to trace these issues!

I have an almost complete Excel file that tells you exactly in what magasine a specific game or title is mentionned, and if it's a review, preview, ad, game hints, ... I am currently trying to get it finished, but it's a lot of work. Anyone interested can send me a message, but I'll let you know when it's finished first.

[Bas]

Good to see you back Mathias! How are you?

[Philipscdi.com]

Hi Bas,

I've been real busy. Lots of stuff going on. We had elections here in Belgium in October, and since I'm an active member of a local party here, responsible for all communication with Head Office and press, I had a hell of a lot of work with that! But that's over now, and I'm trying to concentrate on 'child nr. 2' that's on his/her way and should be a member of our family somewhere around the 14th of February. So even more work there on trying to give 'child nr. 2' a nice and cosy room...
Oh, and I still have that very demanding job! We had a couple of new product launches this year. Products you all know, I'm sure. And from an IT p.o.v. this always comes with a bunch of... work.

But now I'm really back and I'm gonna give my CD-i website a higher priority status and make sure I don't abandon it for months.

How have you been? I've been catching up on the forum every now and then...

[Devin]

Hello Mathias, we're stirring things up as usual!

[Bas]

Great to hear all that Mathias, you sound like a happy man! With me everything is fine, the workload is high (but you understand it's a very different kind of work!) but as I'm with a computer the whole day it's easy to check in once in a while! There's no child coming up for me, but what is going to happen: I (I as in we) bought a brand new house. pret-ty cool, although they still have to build it. So I'll get very busy around 2008, which takes soo long...

[Philipscdi.com]

A new house, that's pretty cool indeed! I guess you've told the architect that there should be a room big enough for your entire CD-i collection, hardware and software? Knowing you have quite a bit of CD-i stuff, you're probably gonna call it 'the west wing' of your house!
Anyway, that is something to look forward to.
And just let me check something...
... No. I haven't got anything planned for 2008 so if you need a hand to help you copy... errr... I mean 'move' all your rare CD-i discs, just let me know...

[Bas]

However, what kind of exciting plans do you have for philipscdi.com?

[Philipscdi.com]

Firts of all, I've been learning PHP so that I can create a db-driven website. One of my co-workers told me I was crazy to create the website entirely using only html. I have to admit that creating a single page for each title, was quite the task. I'm only happy that it's only CD-i. I'd love to see someone do it for a complete Playstation database.
Anyway... I'm finally gonna start writing my own reviews and collect more titles and information AND write some walkthroughs.
I have some other stuff planned but I'm gonna need some help on that. I'll contact you and Devin (Hi Devin ) about it soon, but privately.

[Devin]

Look forward to your plans!
