Instead of the ‘my printer won’t work on linux’ story I actually discovered something neat today when trying to print on the HP Color Laserjet 4600. By running nmap to view to open ports on the network printer I noticed port 21 (ftp) to be open.
I ftp’ed into the printer, and was able to see […]

Today we visited the museum of Hilversum to see the exhibition about architects of the first half of the 20th century. Really interesting to see the influences of Frank Lloyd Wright on Dutch architects like J. Wils, J.J.P. Oud, H.Th. Wijdeveld and W. M. Dudok demonstrated by analyzing buildings I pass every day.
The exhibition featured […]

At the moment I’m building a couple of prototypes meant to be used as proof-of-concepts for the current project.
Part of the concept I’m trying to proof is the fact that it is possible to build framework independent applications on top of MMBase .
The prototypes use Spring to wire stuff together, the integration with MMBase was […]

Stumbled upon a nice little game called Roman Rumble:

I only managed to reach level 3 and get 370 points yet… but hey, the music is cool

The last couple of days I started working at the ‘Mediapark’ in Hilversum, which is about 10 minutes from my house by bicycle. I’ll be upgrading the 3voor12 site (mmbase) with all sorts of nice features.  The people at 3voor12 are really nice, and actually most development workstations run (k)ubuntu or OSX, superb!

I think it looks really nice, something […]

My weblog seems to attract people from the other side of the globe:

Can’t really read what is written, maybe not to positive at all… but hey, I’m being noticed

The book on agile development which I bought a couple of months ago has a chapter on Model Driven Architecture (MDA). The examples featured AndroMDA.
Since the moment I first read about it I knew I had to try it, but till now I didn’t really have time to investigate it. But now, at the start […]

Today I installed Ubuntu Dapper Drake, basically to see compiz / xgl working on my own laptop. Xgl is an X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL via glitz. Compiz combines together a window manager and a composite manager using OpenGL for rendering. There are a couple of realy nice display effects in compiz […]

A colleague of mine (disclaimer: he is a Ruby fanatic) mailed me a link to the following video:

(click the image or this link for the video) Although the movie is a bit too java-negative for my taste I found the movie usefull to extend my knowledge on existing frameworks (never heard of turbogears and django […]
