Soms gestelde vragen

Buisdorp?
Omstreeks 1990 kreeg de vriend van een vriendin een baan bij een huis-aan-huisblad. De vriendin zou het geweldig vinden als ik voor dat huis-aan-huisblad een column ging schrijven. Het werd uitgegeven door Buijze Pers te Noordwijk. Mijn gedachten gingen daarom uit naar een column over de imaginaire gemeente Buisdorp. De vriend van de vriendin had zo kort na zijn indiensttreding nog te weinig macht en aanzien om mij die column te kunnen bezorgen maar omdat ik nooit iets weggooi bestaat Buisdorp (inmiddels uitgegroeid tot een gemeente met 98.000 inwoners) nog steeds. Al 750 jaar.

Waarom com?
De eerste versie van Buisdorp.com werd voorbereid en ontstond in 2001, ter gelegenheid van het verschijnen van de roman Zoute griotten in dat jaar. Het was mijn bedoeling de site Buisdorp.nl te noemen, maar dat ging zomaar niet. Om een.nl-website tot leven te kunnen wekken moest je destijds ingeschreven staan bij de Kamer van Koophandel. Daarom werd het niet Buisdorp.nl maar Buisdorp.com. Dat beviel me eigenlijk wel, want de site had door dat .com een internationale uitstraling, zij het dat zo nu en dan een doortrapte buitenlandse spammer zich richt tot de Board of Directors van Buisdorp – en omdat die niet bestaat moet ik dergelijke mail zelf afhandelen.

Martin de Jong?
Den Haag, 15 juni 1958. In 1974 afgestudeerd aan de Kamerlingh Onnes mavo te Den Haag, vier jaar later ook nog een meao-diploma behaald. Vergaarde sindsdien autodidactisch een hoop aanvullende kennis (kreeg er soms koppijn van). Liep in de periode 1991-1998 zesmaal de 3M Marathon van Leiden. Snelste marathon: 3.09.56 (1991, 87ste plaats); snelste halve marathon: 1.29.40 (City-Pier-City 1992); snelste 10 km: 0.40.29 (Vredespaleisloop 1995, 162ste plaats).

[De hieronder opgesomde muzikale en andere voorkeuren werden ten behoeve van een eerdere editie van deze website opgesteld en kregen toen een alfabetische rangschikking, waarmee ik wil zeggen dat 10cc niet mijn favoriete band is en 24 niet mijn favoriete tv-serie. De overstap van Joomla naar WordPress was een aanleiding om de totale content te actualiseren en onder meer voorkeuren toe te voegen maar ik heb ervan afgezien de aanvullingen alfabetisch te rangschikken want ik heb meer te doen.]
