Hi there,
Firstly, the META tag is telling Googlebot not to follow any links in
the page - normally if you want your entire site indexed by Google it
would read "follow".
Flash is the problem. Most sites that use Flash still get indexed,
because they offer a non-Flash alternative, usually a link at the
bottom of the page saying "HTML version". Google is able to follow
links within Flash elements, but will ignore pages which are entirely
in Flash, as stated by GoogleGuy in this thread at WebmasterWorld:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/1456.htm
Google would've listed your site when it was non-Flash:
http://web.archive.org/web/20011002125740/http://netzetera.lu/
and dropped it after you changed.
Traffick.com have a good article on this topic:

Keywords used:
google indexed flash

I trust this answers your question. If any portion of my answer is
unclear, please ask for clarification.
Best wishes,
