But before I do that, I want to talk about something else. Lukas made a great blogpost about those that want to “sex up” the geek world, and I wholeheartedly agree with that. Why the hell have those sexy booth babes at conferences. Unfortunately though, it’s not just the fault of those who own the…
Having ripped almost my full CD collection already, and having quite a few classics in my vinyl collection, I was eager to get a huge bunch of those digitized. I just didn’t have a way to do that. Research learned that my initial idea of buying a turntable that had a USB connection wasn’t a…
Issue tracking: two words with a very wide definition. It’s tracking issues found by development: Those things that you still need to improve or those bugs that you found yourself and still need to fix. Or even your TODO list, depending on your way of working. Then there’s the issues that testing finds in your…
Last weekend was our PHP Bootcamp. It was a huge success! With about 30 people present, the whole room was filled with PHP enthousiasts. The three presentations by Thomas Weidner, Johan Janssens and Francois Zaninotto were awesome! All three deserve great respect for bringing these presentations. The panel discussion afterwards was a very cool thing…

I have always been a big Google fanboy. And as far as I’ve always known, Google had a simple policy: Do No Harm. However, it seems that they now are intending to actually Do Some Harm. Google is sueing a polish poet group who own the domain gmail.pl. Now, if these poets were actually using…
I have just upgraded Ufdi.net to the brand spanking new Drupal 5.0! A yay for Drupal, who did a great job writing a flawless update script. It worked like a charm and everything seems to be working great. Now that we’re on 5.0, I guess zeroK and me can finally start working on getting the…
A while ago, I signed up for ReviewMe, just to see what would happen. I added both this website, and Electronic Music World. And yesterday, I found out it works. An e-mail was waiting in my inbox that someone wanted something reviewed. I logged in to ReviewMe to find DJDossiers wanted me to review their…
Friday and Saturday the dutch Joomla!Days are happening in Den Bosch. As a company that does a lot with and owes a lot to Joomla! my employer is one of the main sponsors of this event, and most of the employees will be attending the conference. We will even have a stand there! There are…
