Republicans hate Europe
(warning: this is a rant about politics, all my own opinion, has nothing to do with either my employer or any of the open source projects I am active for)
Republicans hate Europe.
The first time I noticed this was years ago through Bush’ jokes about how Europeans don’t like to work, and through the “freedom fries” and [...]
Now on your door mat: Wicket In Action
Finally, we’re done! Wicket In Action, the dead tree edition, is out! Order it from the publisher, Manning, get it from Amazon, or maybe even a store near you. I hope it will be useful for people. First reviews have been good. If you like the book, please don’t be shy rating it on Amazon [...]
Woost: Best Dutch band evah
Dutch band ‘Woost‘ is incredible. Most readers of this blog aren’t Dutch, so you probably never heard of them. But do yourself a favor and give them a listen. If there was ever a Dutch band that would do good in the US, it’s them.
I saw Woost for the first time a few years ago [...]
Wicket In Action almost done
Honestly, the book - Wicket In Action - is aaaallmost done. We’re doing the very last edits, and most of the chapters are in the production stage. Incredible, what a huge amount of work goes into writing a book. Without the help of Manning’s excellent staff, I would have been very close to giving up [...]

I have no idea [...]

Announcement: chords & lyrics coming here
I’m getting back into music again big time. Well, I’ll always be a stinkin’ amateur, but I’m having fun practicing my singing and playing guitar. I’m taking singing lessons with Andrew Vait. Just had my first lessons this week. He’s a very nice guy, and a good singer and teacher. If you’re in Seattle and looking [...]
RunJettyRun version 1.0.1 released
There were a couple of bug reports that were solved for this second release of RunJettyRun. Unfortunately, I messed up the first release, and you can’t just update the plugin. If you want to install this, you’ll have to manually deinstall the
Open Source software has nothing to do with communism, and it is not free either
This line caught my eye (and I have no idea how I got there in the first place):
Open source just looks like the future to me. Who would’ve thought, but it is pure communism! If people are willing to give such sophisticated solutions away for free, businesses are going to adopt them and there’s no [...]
