It’s been a while
It's been a while since my last post. I have been on holiday for two and a half weeks and we visited the eastern part of Canada. You can see the the route we followed here, and read more about the trip on my travel blog (it's in Dutch).
At work I am currently working on a big social networking site. This is going to be a very big challenge because we are on a very tight deadline and the project is very big. Anyway when we go live I can be more specific, but for now I can tell you that I will be working on the front-end development of the site. This means that for the coming months I will be coding Java again. Fortunarily we will be using the latest version of the Spring framework and Hibernate. I already did two smaller projects with this setup, but now will also be using Spring-MVC to integrate the HMTL front-end.
ReadAir
If you read a lot of blogs like I do, then you might be using Google Reader for this. Well I do anyway. I used a lot of RSS desktop clients in the past, but I still like Google Reader the best because I can read from different computers. But now you can have a desktop application for reading your favorite blogs and also use Google Reader web. I recently discovered ReadAir, which is an OSX Themed Desktop Client for Mac or Windows build with Adobe AIR. Try it out here and oh, it's open source.
