The online diary of Pete's motorcycle journeys.


Latest News:

I left for the second journey from Switzerland at 0900 hours (local time) on Thursday, 10 May 2012.
Please use the link provided below if you want to check on my current whereabouts.

I have received a few complaints that some parts of my pages are not properly displaying for some people. Please note that they are written in HTML 5 which means that you need a fairly modern browser to view them. Windows XP with Internet Explorer 8 will simply not do. If you use Windows XP, then I propose that you install Firefox or any other modern browser like Opera or Google Chrome. I have also received complaints that the video clips will not work on PC's running Windows 7 or Windows XP. This has nothing to do with me or my videos, but all the more with Mister William Henry Gates III; while Internet Explorer 9 supports HTML 5, it does not support the VP8 video codec which I am using to encode my video.
Unfortunately VP8 is the only modern codec where I do not have to fear that some Yankee law firm may one day sue me for copyright infringements. This could happen if I'd use the H.264 codec or most other video codecs that current versions of Internet Explorer do render correctly. Again I propose that you install one of the above mentioned free browsers on your computer to display my pages correctly.

Here is a direct link to my latest whereabouts.
