First of all: thanks for visiting!
This weblog is maintained by me, Peter Maas. I’m a Dutch citizen and own a nice house with a pretty garden in a small city called Hilversum, about 30km from Amsterdam.
I studied at the Faculty of Art, Media & Technology (specialisation: Audio Design / software development for audio and music) at the HKU (School of Arts Utrecht) to recieve my European Media Master of Arts (ing. / BA / MA) in 2002.
My wife (Danielle) and I are the parents of two wonderful kids: Sjoerd and Maaike, we keep track of family events at the family blog.
My other interests range from espresso and cooking to programming and open source software (I used to run ubuntu/linux as my main distribution/operating system, but switched to OSX in 2005). I make a living by being a certified, professional Java developer for Finalist IT Group a company specialized in technical consulting and development services for the Internet, based on Java technology. Apart from Java I’m really interested in dynamic languages like Ruby, Groovy and Scala.
I’m a (brown belt) member of the Java Black Belt community, click here for my profile.
