And yes, both dr. Ghazghkull and dr. Finch can (briefly…very briefly) be seen blowing kisses in a new clip of La Lune Noire
People of La Lune Noire!
We kiss you and greet you from London!

Dr. Ghazghk and dr. Finch were there! At the Elf Fantasy Fair 2009! And we use our steam punked!!! After disembarking from the airship “Lady Jane” that transported us from Paris to Haarzuilens, we visited the fair on sunday! The 2009 Elf Fantasy Fair was not the first time dr. Ghazghkull and dr. Finch visited Haarzuilens. The picture below, made in 1902 by the honourable mister Bergeyk who was 32 years of age at that time, shows the airship “Lady Jane” just taking off behind the castle for a journey to China. Why to China? One might ask. Well this question will be answered soon!
We discovered an old photographic picture, taken by dr. Finch, around 1899. On the back of it is written:”Today I carved the shape of an eye in the tree just behind the stables. I wonder if this could ever become a popular timewaster!”
And so it did, dr. Finch!!! Today, the second of june, 2009, we discovered a whole bunch of trees with eyeshapes carved in them. So, if you ever come across some trees with similar carvings, you now know who started it!! History and purpose of MaffeMaaksels.nl and DutchSteamPunkers.nl and DutchSteamPunks.nl Initially, MaffeMaaksels.nl was a forumsite, built on SMF 2.0 Purpose was to make a platform available for Dutch creators of weird, out-of-line contraptions/creations. with a special place for dutch steampunkers. Somewhere along the timeline we wished to add some standard publishing pages to the forum and added Simpleportal to SMF. However, flexibility of Simpleportal was quite low. Site was rebuilt using (in chronological order): Joomla (rather complicated for a small site), WordPress (not flexible enough..limited functionality), and drupal…..The last site ran on drupal 6. Drupal offered enough flexibility, without being too complicated. We also left behind the dutch language here. In drupal we had an embedded forum. But after a while the forum-module appeared to be not as good as smf. We also added a subsite to send webcards and an integrated guestbook. Update 060609: logging in to SMF apart from the main site was considered user unfriendly, so now we have a small forum functionality within the main site. Update 200609: domain dutchsteampunks.nl added to the old domain. Update 311009: site is being rebuilt with wordpress, just because we can and for speed-up reasons! And last but not least: a special THANK YOU to Wildcard, who designed the original logo for MaffeMaaksels.nl. It will be made visible on the background of the current logo of this site shortly. |
