Flexpert to the rescue

I’ve been quiet for quite some time now. There are 2 reasons for that. The first one is simply because I have been busy on a couple of projects and just didn’t find the time to write another blog post. The second reason is that I wanted to wait and [...]

Tonight I got one of the “coolest” emails you can get: I’ve been invited to give a session at gotoAndSki(); Switzerland on January 26th, 27th and 28th, 2012, which is really awesome. Unfortunately I haven’t been to this conference before, but I’ve heard very nice things about it and let’s [...]

As I’ve mentioned in my previous blog post, I’ve finally gotten hold of my free BlackBerry Playbook, so I started playing around with it. First impressions were quite good. Even my wife is interested in this device, which sounds great, but will probably mean I’ll have to kindly ask here [...]
