Hi Don,
I suspect you are more a cosmopolitan city person if you like Ghent over Bruges. In my view, Bruges is a traditional and historic (read; medieval buildings, roads and canals) where Ghent is more modern and industrial. Personally I like most of the Flanders region of Belgium, and my impression of Brussels is it is (was?) a party city. I was very much dismayed at the terrorist attacks in that city, and I hope it doesn’t dampen the people’s spirit (I hope your time there was still before the attacks in March and not after). My son is a student in the university in Leuven and he just loves it there (maybe in part because of the low drinking age and beer is cheaper than water!). Interesting to note that here in the US our engineering course is 4 years whereas they do it in a much more intense and compressed curriculum of 3 years. Best wishes to you and your wife. Ed.

Alvy Gentlemen, My wife and I finally caught up with our desire to see Belgium outside of the airport and had a fine time there earlier this year. Happened to be there for the Brussels Jazz Festival (which wasn't really much about jazz as far as I could determine) and visited Bruges, Antwerp and Ghent. Enjoyed it all but will admit to a preference for Ghent - seemed like a very livable city. Good to see you all up and around.

What a coincidence indeed that you know the Belgian coast :) I myself happen to return there sometimes, but not very often: I've been living in the south of France for the last 35 years and I have mainly 'virtual' contacts with my homeland ... even while webmastering quite of a lot of local Belgian web-sites! There is no 'online' interface for the sites I make with DP: they are instead made with a DP 'CMS'-backend, that has a series of reports to create static html-pages and a menu system on a local computer. These static pages (featherlight and valid!) are then sent to the server by FTP. The site layout is fully determined by a separate css stylesheet. I did some reading about the different 'hosted DP' solutions, but never managed to find the time to actually try them out :( Best regards, Geert.

And it appears quite close knit. I think perhaps your newsletter keeps everyone close and informed. Congratulations. Very well done. This is a coincidence. My son used to spend his summers in De Haan with his Oma and Opa. When I went with them once, I really liked Ostend (with their seafood!) If you don’t mind, may I inquire how you handled the interface with DP? Thanks, Ed.

Alvy Hi Ed, I still have a couple of web-sites with DP backends. They're located in Belgium and the language is Flemish/Dutch. http://www.adegem.net/ : Very popular community website of a small village in Belgium. Check out the DP-made home page, the digital archives (http://www.adegem.net/archief.htm), the entire "Who's who" section and, last but not least: our weekly "Gazette" : http://www.adegem.net/nieuws/ http://www.debaets.be/ : Family website - exactly the same DP application as above, but with a different stylesheet Appeltjes van het Meetjesland : historical society. This used to be a 100% DP-site, but it's now mainly a WordPress site. Only the cross-linked indexes of the annual "Yearbooks" and the library index are still in DP, these DP-coded pages run in an I-frame : http://www.appeltjes-meetjesland.org/indices/ ( = http://www.appeltjes-meetjesland.org/DPoutput/jaarboek.php) http://www.appeltjes-meetjesland.org/bibliotheek/ ( = http://www.appeltjes-meetjesland.org/DPoutput/bibliotheek.php) Regards, Geert On Sat, 01 Oct 2016 00:19:06 +0200, Ed Marfil, MAST UNITED <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Does anyone know if there is still a website running out there with a DP backend?
