I had Ruedi’s wonderful weblog on my link list for over 1 year now, and visited quite frequently. I dont know him but I love the wealth of recipes and stories about traditional Swiss (and other) food. Nice. The look and feel of the blog is just so Swiss, I love it. Now my little story and what gave me the inspiration… Ruedi’s blog was updated last year before Christmas with some festive kitsch, he didn’t remove that for at least 6 months. A few days back I checked the link out because I was searching for a recipe and just wondering what’s cooking in his pots and pans, and what I get is…404 Not Found!
404 of Ruedi's blog
…404 was followed by a mild shock. It’s all gone! He is disappeared, all the wealth of information….buff and gone in the universe of fiber glass cables? The link doesn’t exist anymore? What the hell.
I thought to myself – this Ruedi, not having removed the festive touch to the website for months, and now the the web link also doesn’t exist anymore, this Ruedi must have gone missing in action…
How sad, worst case scenarios shot through my mind. All the wealth of information and knowledge gone missing? How to recover? Where is he? Expatriated to a lonely Caribbean island?
Well, today I tried again and found his full name in the expired link, http://home.balcab.ch/r.l.sperandio/index.html and then googled and googled and guess what, he changed to his own web domain! Fantastic, only half as dramatic as I thought. What the hell!
Check it out, from Fondue to Hoernli Auflauf, you get it all. -
Great job Ruedi, well done, the name is perfect:
