Today is the day my website will be officially announced on the 9rules blog so I figured it would be nice to have some sort of welcome message for everyone who's never been here before. Hopefully it won't be a one time visit.

This weblog is about just about everything related to internet, technology, development and design and net culture. Occasionally there's a (semi) political rant on either Dutch or world politics as well as well as some assorted personal messages. The mainstream however is internet technology and ongoings in cyberspace. I've been blogging on this website for about 13 months now and it's been a great year. I've written a lot of articles I'm still proud of, I released a nice collection of plugins for Pivot and WordPress and some design templates as well. A new advanced design template for Typo will be released this weekend. Let's hope next year will be an even better blogging year.

I have quite extensive knowledge on the fields of PHP, CSS, Ajax, and software engineering. If you have any suggestions on topics that you feel it would be nice for me to write about on this site then by all means drop me a line!

Enjoy your stay on “The Net is Dead” ^* !

^* this article explains what made me pick the name for this weblog.

Thanks Matt!

And yes… I’ve been wanting to take this site to a next level for many months already but that’s proven to be very hard no matter how high the quality of your articles is. I believe the 9rules network is one of those things that may finally make it happen
