Harm Henstra is a coach and interim manager based in Haarlem. He needed a small, straightforward website to present himself and his services. So rapidly I put up a new Joomla installation. After a short planning meeting Harm wrote most of the content in his new website. I structured it and filled the site. We jointly choose a stock template and I adapted the colours and feel to his corporate identity. Next, we put up the "pawn" images and portraits to finish the global layout. Finally I gave a small instruction on how to use Joomla to manage the content in the website. In under two days the website was finished. The resulting website is clean, easy to navigate and reflects the "game" theme of Harm Henstra's method.

I've created a Joomla Readspeaker plugin for the Flevo Hospital in Almere. Readspeaker is a technology that allows webdevelopers to embed a screenreader on a website. Off course many people with a visual handicap already use screenreaders but these usually read everything on the webpage. With readspeaker, the webdeveloper can decide which content should be read, and which shouldn't. Also it's a platform independent solution. If you have a recent webbrowser with javascript enabled it works. Of course I think that creating semantically correct html should be the first and foremost priority for accessible websites. But readspeaker is a nice addition to the web developer's toolbox.

Glass fiber internet connections are the future of broadband internet. It the next couple of years the amount of fiber connections is expected to grow exponentially. Right now the large communication corporations, cable suppliers, etc are making the necessary investments in the required infrastructure. Contrary to the introduction of DSL internet connections a couple of years ago, glass fiber requires a completely new web of cables. In large parts the in The Netherlands these cables still need to be placed but in a quite a few spots glass fiber connections are already available. Chances are you yourself will switch to fiber in the next 5 years or so. It's about time then, that a community around this topic is launched. Enter: glasvezel.nu. This community website collects news about Dutch fiber initiatives and investments. Furthermore the website reviews hardware fit for fiber, explains the ins and outs such as: different connection types, applications, and details on the service suppliers. Finally the site has a postal code check that allows you to check for available connections on your address and that lists the various prices and subscriptions.
