2006 is nearly over, so it’s time to look back a bit. What happened here in 2006? I’ll link to some articles that I feel give a nice overview of things that affected my past year.

* Creating your own RSS aggregator with Drupal
* Logging in English
* Java Training
* Music to code to
* Hermann Hesse – Sidhartha
* Kubuntu Linux, my new OS
* Loose Change
* Zend Framework
*  * Paradise Here I Come
* Changes
* TomTom HOME
* Maria
* ByeBye TomTom
* Text Link Ads: Earn money from your website
* Unicron broke
*  * Rebooted!
* Netlabels and reviews
* Protecting forums against spammers
* Symfony: No cacaphony of code
* A sad day

To also look forward a bit to the next year: Things will change. The company I currently work for is in the process of splitting up. One of the owners is taking one of the biggest projects we have and will be operating that project from a seperate company. I have the choice to either go with him, and be able to develop solely on that project (the project that I’ve been working on nearly since I started) or to stay with Dutch Open Projects and go more and more into my role of Lead Developer there. It will be a tough choice.

Furthermore, some of the projects that I’ve been working on or thinking about will hopefully see the light of day in the coming year. This even includes a new music project! 

Lots of things for the next year… let’s see what the year will bring.
