After almost 5 months I have finally found some time to write another entry into this news section: |
First of all, let me wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2009! |
I plan to continue with my PhD studies in Bratislava as an external student. My first exams will take place in January 2009. If everything goes well I hope to graduate in or before 2014, the latest deadline would be 2015. |
Regarding stamps, I received and collected about some hundreds, but I did not have enough time to scan and upload them. It is in my interest to work on this page and fulfill all of my plans (I will add a list later on (: ). |
26. Jul 2008 |
Good news everyone. :) I have 3 new contributors and plan to add their stamps before end of August. Meanwhile, I am adding stamps from Sweedie that I have scanned in the last months. I already possess over 10,000 different stamps and consider 15,000 to be my new benchmark. |
Due to the fact that I work 24/7 I am not able to fully devote my time to this webpage. If there is someone outside who wants to help me, do not hesitate to contact me. |

Hello everyone. After approximately 3 weeks I managed to enter new stamps into my database. There was a lot of work to do in the meantime and I coud not solely focus on this webpage. I have one new contributor whose stamps I will upload in the following days, there are still more than 1,000 stamps in queue.
One more thing to write about: When I finish uploading the stamps I have in my queue I will add search criteria and start creating own pages for several stamps. I am still on the search for some voluntary helpers and contributors. |

I decided to redesign the news page and create one gif picture instead of posting 10 separate jpg screenshots of our myminicity :) |
|
14. Apr 2008 |
Finally, I have scanned another 500 stamps and will start uploading them in the database. Another 1,000 are waiting from me (=> got a gift from Sweedie (:) |
17. Mar 2008 |
I have a new contributor: aura. She contributed approximately 500 stamps and said that in case she will receive any new stamps, she will continue to enrich my collection. Thank you a lot! |
13. Mar 2008 |
All stamps from Miko added. I received new stamps from Darkness, my grandfather, and still have a lot from Sweedie and another contributor to scan and upload. |

Another 50 stamps scanned and uploaded. So, finally Redyuri's and Bara's contributions are completely online (:. I will continue scanning stamps from Sweedie, Darkness and Miko. There are roughly 2,000 more. |
18. Jan 2007 |
7,000th stamp added. I have approximately 1,000 to go until I finish scanning them. What do you think? Will a break the 10,000 number before the end of 2008? (: |
17. Jan 2008 |
You can see the number of inhabitants of Portalis under the menu (as well as actual revenues of Portalis). |

My first message in 2008. I have scanned another approximately 300 stamps and will soon upload them. Another 2,000 are waiting :-) |
I have now created a small city/town in Slovakia called Portalis (according to my nickname Portal). If you want to support me, click each day on the following link: http://portalis.myminicity.com |

In October 2007, the Kangaroo organizers had a meeting in Graz, Austria. For this special occasion a stamp has been produced showing the Grazer Schloßberg Clock Tower and the symbol of the Contest - a Kangaroo. The stamp itself has a value of € 0.55 and can be used as a normal poststamp in Austria. |

29. Nov 2007 |
6,000th stamp added. I have approximately 1,500 to go until I finish scanning them. Unfortunately, I have been busy due to some work on other projects (Kangaroo of Mathematics 2008) and could not continue working on this webpage. Nevertheless, I appreciate all help from outside. |
25. Oct 2007 |
I have scanned some new stamps and finished adding topics (next step will be to add subtopics and so on). Besides, the Embassy of Peru suggested creating a page with links to all postal services. I consider this to be a good idea and created THIS LIST. Please, if you know of any other links, send them to me. |
01. Oct 2007 |
Today I read an interesting quote in Benjamin Graham's book "The Intelligent Investor", just wanted to share it with all of you: |
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. | |
Maybe I will create a section with quotes I like anyway, but there is still so much work to do. Besides, I received new albums for my 23rd brithday (: There will be enough to scan in the upcoming months. |
26. Sep 2007 |
Some weeks ago, I received a nice picture of a coined letter. Wonder if it was delivered or not. I hope that you will enjoy this picture as much as I did (:
 |
21. Sep 2007 |
Hello again! Last week, my girlfriend and me spent a nice time in Prague and Brussels. I did not buy any stamps but collected some photos that I would like to use for my website as accompanying pictures to stamps. |
18. Sep 2007 |
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who helped me with this homepage, to every contributor you can find HERE. Please, be aware that I treat all stamps with the respect they deserve. |
30. Aug 2007 |
If you find a stamp where the year is missing, or a stamp scanned twice, please contact me via email (please, specify the stamp_id number to faciliate my search). I will in turn try to correct it. By the way, I have already set about 26.57% of all stamps in relation, added year of issue to 32.30% and a topic to 59.93%. |
20. Aug 2007 |
The menu tree works (:. I have managed to add topic IDs to more than 1,000 stamps recently (represent about 20% of all pictures). I estimate that it will take me another 2-3 weeks to finish the topics and continue adding information (year, value, ...) about certain stamps. Nevertheless, I will continue working on my page. Besides, I will create one page for each stamp, would like to start with 10 pages per day (1.5 years in total). So, what will come first? Children, or a finished webpage (: |
Oh yes, I will receive a banner for the top of this page from a friend of mine (designed in flash). His work can be read (in Slovak) at techsupport.sk - notebook reviews. Therefore I changed the version number from 1.x to 2.0. |
11. Aug 2007 |
A new menu tree for topics has been implemented. I hope to continue with grouping several stamp series together. Next steps will be: create a connection to Wikipedia for information about countries. Afterwards I would like to create a page for every stamp I have. This will take years... or? (: Maybe some volunteers will appear. And of course, language versions will be online this year, too. |

Little design for my signature at Skyscrapercity
 |
03. Aug 2007 |
Still working on this page (a final version does not in fact exist). Nevertheless, thanks to Sweedie and Woo I reached the 5,000 limit and hope to have more than 6,000 by the end of 2007. |
19. Jul 2007 |
OK (: So... After 1 year I collected some 1000+ new stamps and have finally received my master degree in economics at Vienna's University of Economics and Business Administration. A friend of mine will help me to add some flash elements to this page (banner, stamps overview). |
17. May 2007 |
Hallo everybody! |
I got into a time lag because of all the work I had to do. Nevertheless, I hope that the country section works properly. If you switch to another language, a script should automatically look for the corresponding Wikipedia page. In case there is no infobox, it will jump back to the English version. |
By the way, I received over 700 stamps from Sweedie. Sooner or later the 10,000 mark total or 5,000 mark different will fall (: |
14. Apr 2007 |
New country: Indonesia, it is the 109th country in my collection. |
Currency signs for EUR (€), GBP (£), JPY (¥) and USD ($) added. |
13. Apr 2007 |
Friday the 13th! (: |
Ok, 4,000+ stamps already available, I do not know when I will have 5,000. I should receive some new contributions in the upcoming weeks, thus slowly approaching this magical number. By the way, I am stil working on the topic and country sections, they WILL be available this month! |
15. Mar 2007 |
Ok ladies and gentlemen, next step is done. I have added a forum where I hope you will discuss topics related to stamps, albums, and philatelic stuff. |
By now, after 6 months (:, there have been some people mentioning my page without receiving its address from me. Honestly, I felt happy about it. Next steps are to scan another 100-200 stamps I have (breach the 4,000-hurdle) and continue working on my master thesis... |
27. Feb 2007 |
Contributors updated, now you can see a photo in case that the contributor had provided me with one. |
I hope to be able to work on this webpage continuously. In the meantime, I welcome every support you can provide me with (in case you want to help). |

Greetings from Bordeaux Business School, France, where I'm staying until december 2006. I'm continuing to increase my collection, unfortunately there weren't many possibilities to get on the Internet so far. I should update the page in the following week. |
15. Oct 2006 |
From today on, my webpage dedicated to philately collections is Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional. I will try to put her into search engines soon. |

About the contributor added. I hope to add "about stamps" in the upcoming week as well as more languages (slovak, german, french, ???). |

17. Aug 2006 |
Contributors added. FDCs added. Leafs added. Random stamps added. |
