About
I'm a 27 year old male from the Netherlands.
I live there in a small town.
You can ask me anything about digital media,
photography, shooting video, media strategies, the pros
and cons of XHTML versus HTML, User-friendly webdesign,
Photoshop, Geek culture, business culture and politics.
I like to keep busy doing many different projects,
though not necessarily all at once. You could say I'm
well rounded, but in reality I'm quite skinny.
Competences
My current jobtitle is
"Designer".
My primary skill is webdesign and webstandards based
XHTML/CSS writing. Besides that I have competences in
videomaking, photography, communication advice,
internet strategy and webmanagement. I work at Schuttelaar &
Partners. You can find my portfolio and resume in the box to the left.
The website
This website has been on the great intertubes since 1996. It started out as a plaything on a server of the Economics faculty of the University of Amsterdam. Currently you're looking at revision 12 of the design. We've come a long way.
In its long life it has been a simple HTML2.0 site and a flash presentation. It once had a style switcher, and has been plain HTML until 2002. That's when the news system was first introduced. Later, applications like the Photoalbums were added, and some applications quickly died. Like the Linklog. I like to keep development organic. The last few redesigns have been more incremental then the process used to be. At some point I will post something about all the different mutations.
