I'm going to DrupalCon DC!
Wed, 01/21/2009 - 16:55 — Bart
An hour ago I got an email from Bonnie Bogle, a member of the organisation committee that organises DrupalCon DC, telling me that I have been given a scholarship to attend the Con! Fellow Drupallers Bojhan Somers and Wim Leers have also been selected for a scholarship. Never, ever do I win something with contests and stuff, but this prize more than makes up for that. Yeah!
I will be speaking at FOSDEM
Sun, 01/11/2009 - 16:25 — BartThe Drupal devroom schedule has just been published and it seems that my proposal has been accepted. On February 8, around 16:15, I will be doing a talk about Taxonomy. Are you a newcomer to Drupal and don't know what Taxonomy is or do you find it overwhelming? Are you a more advanced user, but do you still struggle when trying to categorise your site's content? Are you... Wait, you should all be there, because there will be something interesting for everyone!
Can't wait to see you at FOSDEM!
Separate interface and content language in Drupal 7
Wed, 12/03/2008 - 23:55 — BartDrupal 6 features new methods for making your site multilingual. Content language can be defined by a path prefix (example.com/nl/about for a Dutch about page) or by a domain (example.nl/about for the same page). However, lots of people think this is not flexible enough. They want users to be able to use an interface language of their choice, independent of the content language. I'm one of those people, so I decided to take a shot.
Drupal at FOSDEM 2009
Mon, 12/01/2008 - 10:26 — BartI am pleased to say that once again Drupal will be present at FOSDEM, held at February 7 and 8. We (as in the Drupal project) have been appointed a dev room for Sunday, between 9 and 5 o'clock GMT+1.
People may now propose or request talks at groups.drupal.org. I have proposed a talk about Taxonomy: the differences between conventional categorisation and Taxonomy, the differences between Drupal releases and how core and contributed modules may be used to apply, manipulate and browse it.
Extesea - for some really great moments
Mon, 11/24/2008 - 14:26 — BartLast week I released Extesea. In spite of what you might think, Extesea is no pill, powder or fluid, but it does make you feel better!
R.I.P. and donations for research on cancer
Tue, 09/30/2008 - 21:20 — BartHans Feenstra *31 May 1958, +30 September 2008
Today my father died of lung cancer. Because (lung) cancer is a terrible disease I decided to donate all money received through the Adsense advertisements on this website to the KWF Kankerbestrijding, a Dutch organisation that is the main force behind research on cancer in the Netherlands.
Live from PICNIC 2008
Fri, 09/26/2008 - 10:33 — BartJust found the rest of the people I was supposed to visit PICNIC with. Will keep you posted on the presentations for this afternoon!
13:40
We went outside for a walk past several artists and designers presenting their work in tents. I had the privilige of listening to satellites using Yolande Harris' GPS headphones. At the moment we're taking a break at the waterside, since this afternoon's special will not begin for another twenty minutes.
Bi-directional websites
Thu, 09/25/2008 - 21:12 — BartYou will probably speak and write a language that's written left to right. In fact, most languages are written that way. I think it would be an accurate guess to say that a lot of software doesn't support bi-directional text, because it was developed in a Western country or at least a country where they use a left-to-right language. This is the cause for a relatively large problem: this kind of software is unusable. What can we do about it?
