Dear Reader,
On 16 October 2001,
gangway.net received a prestigious at-award
in Vienna. The jury: "This site is neither particularly beautiful
nor particularly fast. It is rather an example of consistent use of
particular possibilities of the Internet, enabling small initiatives
to publish worldwide and extensively, and thereby fostering an understanding
for culture and the arts. The international high standard of its interesting
and vast contents does the rest."

Liebe(r) Leser(in),
am 16. Oktober wurde gangway.net
in Wien mit einem begehrten at-award
ausgezeichnet. Laudatio der Jury: "Diese site ist weder besonders
schön noch besonders schnell. Sie ist vielmehr ein Exempel für
die konsequente Nutzung der besonderen Möglichkeiten des Internet,
die auch kleinen Initiativen erlaubt, weltweit und umfangreich zu publizieren
und zu Kultur und Kunstverständnis beizutragen. Der internationale
Anspruch des interessanten und weitläufigen Inhaltes tut ein Übriges."

Kindheit im Auhof, zog dann mit Beginn des Gymnasiums nach Alberndorf

von kurzen Prosatexten hinzu, lose Gedanken, die durch im Alltag auftretende
Ereignisse und Gefühle gekennzeichnet sind. Als Lieblingsautoren
seien Thomas Bernhard, Franz Kafka und Norbert Gstrein genannt. Der

bestimmte Ereignisse im Leben des Verfassers, wobei eine Mischung von
