Updates...
Site
I've just updated the website to the latest version of Drupal (6.17). It has been out for over a week but I just can't seem to find and or make time... So as of yet I'm still searching a way to make this a usefull place, even if only for me...
National soccer team
The Dutch National soccer team just won their first match of the 2010 World Cup. They played against Denmark and managed to score 2 goals (2-0). My eployer was kind enough to let us watch the match during our work time, so yeah!

The theme is far from done or perfect, but it IS getting there... I will be making adjustments in the upcoming days, weeks.
The cool part for me is that I decided not to do the "ZEN feeling" this time and just start from a static site which was a working xHTML/CSS mock up. From mock up to Drupal took me about an hour tops.
Well time to go sit in some traffic ;)
Site updates
So I recently started a new project at work there for most of my time has been spend preparing for that job and since 3 days actually getting started up with the project. The job itself is pretty neat, I get to resolve issues for local governments throughout the entire Netherlands.
The issues are related to the introduction of a very cool searching mechanism which give local governments the possibility to act as an "open door" for all kinds of government information. For example:
