New era

Devnology & after party (OffTopic)
Today the Devnology meeting with Rob Vens was held at Class-A in Woerden. It was a fun and interesting evening, you can probably read more about it soon on the Devnology site. One thing I have to throw online though is what happened after the meeting...

Twikini, the mobile twitter client
I’ve owned a Windows Mobile for some time, currently the HTC Tytn which sure is up for replacement. But I’m really waiting for the HTC Touch Pro 2 or the HTC Hero or something. With internet on it, it’s great to have the ability to check your email, search...

Why developers should not be happy with a project manager
I’ve been on a fair amount of projects in the past 10 to 15 years and almost all of them were waterfall. I’ve become really, really great in being able to tell if a project will fail soon or later. Not sooner or later, but soon or later. My weakness however...

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 experiences
I just uninstalled Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 because it constantly kept crashing. A good thing was that it was only crashing a single tab in IE8, but multiple tabs constantly kept crashing for no reason (to me at least). A new nice feature is colored...

Office Live Workspace
You might know that I’m quite the Microsoft addict. While a lot of people are very sceptic with everything Microsoft releases, I tend to have a positive feeling for everything Microsoft releases, at first. After some experience, I might hate or love it...

Weighted companion cube
If you've finished Portal by now, you know what I'm talking about. If not, go boot up Portal and play it until you're finished! Since I've played it, I'm in love with the companion cube. And as it seems, I'm not the only one! The...
