Homepage

Welcome to the Haystack Website.

It’s maintained, written and hosted by Christian Wach. That’s me.

Who’s Me?

Well, now you know what I look like. The picture was taken in Uzbekistan in 2002 shortly before I discovered my grandfather’s grave. I was kicking a ball overland to Japan & Korea for the World Cup, and took the opportunity to solve a long-standing family mystery.

And so now you know a little about me. You’ll obviously find out more by reading this site, but if that’s not enough and you’d like to get my digits, then full contact details for me can be found here.

Why Haystack?

The domain name was originally intended to provide me with an email address that took my fancy (needle@haystack.co.uk), but has since become my little online laboratory. The email address was also the inspiration for the barely-legible logo in the header on each page of this site. Well, if needles are tricky to find, then perhaps the haystack ought to be too.

So then, this site is where I develop and test the stuff I do for others and intermittently write posts on my blog. And, before you ask, yes, it's constantly under development... can anyone point me to a website that isn't, and — if it really isn't, why not?
