Addicted to Love

This morning we finished preparing the aboutmalta.com newsletter as we do at the turn of every month. This month's issue marks 5 years since we started doing this. Interestingly, the "we" who produce this newsletter has changed several times over the years. Amazingly, some might say, we have delivered a monthly newsletter without fail every month since October 2000. I believe that this is a main part of the success of aboutmalta.com's newsletter.

From time to time we also publish special issues of the aboutmalta.com newsletter: Christmas, elections and other such life-altering moments in Malta. I'm quite pleased with the way subscription to the newsletter has swelled over the year. The aboutmalta.com newsletter is only delivered to people who opt-in to receive this monthly online publication.

If you're not subscribed to the aboutmalta.com newsletter, or if perhaps you've never even seen what it looks like, you may find it useful to receive a round-up of the previous month's news headlines from the MaltaMedia.com news service, highlights from aboutmalta.com's Today in Maltese History featuring birthdays, death anniversary and historical events, as well as a sampling of what's on in the Maltese Islands during the coming month.

Away from all this, I was deeply touched by Kenneth's request to hear the music I made with my bands in the 1980s. I really plan to make some of those recordings available online very soon. I've already sorted out the equipment I need to convert some of my old cassettes and digital audio tapes into files that can be made available through the Internet, so it's just a matter of time before I get to it. Hopefully, the rough time we've had with the MaltaMedia servers is (almost) behind us and now that the academic year is slowly settling into a routine I can find a few hours to cross off an item that's been on my 'to do' list for a number of years.
