WTP v1.1
Thanks to my uncle Guus, who found a small bug in WTP. The bug was caused by quotes and some other non-common characters in path or filenames. It has been fixed in WTP v1.1.
I need Beta testers
Lately I’ve been working on a new project called MetaCoding. MetaCoding is a Meta Newssite which gathers programming-related news from around the internet and offers it in a central location. Meta News for coders. The backend code for the project is done, and is in need of testing. If you are interested in helping me […]

I hate….
It should speak for itself because, you know, who doesn’t.. but still: I HATE Javascript. Really. I bloody hate it. I’m not even going to explain why I hate it. If you don’t know, you should try working with it some time. It’s hilarious, truely! I mean.. even location.href=…. has undocumented behaviour. Such a simple […]
Back from vacation
Well, we’re back from our vacation. We had a great time. Great weather too. Visited The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, France (Middle and south), Switserland and Germany. We accidentally mistook Switserland for Germany, so that wasn’t completely planned. Almost got rejected at the swiss border because my passport wasn’t in such good shape. I left it […]
