It’s one of the most tedious aspects of my job: cross-browser testing. Meaning: see if the stuff I have developed looks the same in all browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari and -ick- IE too).

If you live in .nl and have children in the school-going age, I really recommend you visit one of their productions. [ READ MORE ]
Oh goodie! The new Zappelin website was launched just five minutes ago. I built the (HTML part of the) website in Ruby on Rails. It was a joy to create and in the coming weeks I have the honour to add lots of cool things to it as well. [ READ MORE ]
