It was back in 1997 when I built my first virtual home. When Facebook, Flickr and Twitter were’nt even ideas, I had to build my home with my own hands. Starting as an independent travel guide to East Asia, it soon grew to be a focal point for photography, nature and environment issues in Israel and other countries.
Throughout the years, I added rooms and halls myself. Web technologies developed, but I kept maintaining my home with HTML cement, mMaking it solid, but limited with services and modularity. It may looked clean, but in fact, my guests got lost, they didn’t even find the rest rooms! not to mention missing some attractive rooms hidden inside.
I therefore decided to start all over again, professionally. Hired an architect and a builder to plan and construct the new home. As the building took form, I kinda felt embarrassed… I am used to a small house with a nice courtyard… But soon I learned to enjoy the benefits of a centrally-controlled flexible modular building, that can grow without turning into a Tower of Babel. I hope not to feel too comfortable, cause I might end up spending too much time at home, instead of going out to the real world, the cause of building this home…
So welcome to the new home.
Feel free to roam around, check the rooms and halls, and comment.
The builders are still around to make corrections.
Yours,
Guy
