This is sort of a fork from an old project I worked on, Omnivide. It'll allow you to login to your Windows Live account and chat with your buddies.

It uses the Java Messenger Lib library from http://jml.blathersource.org, this program wouldn't be here without them.

The school I go to received an request from 'Zeeuws Steunpunt Verlies en Rouw'. They wanted a piece of software that would allow them to keep track of their members, clients and certain tasks that needed to be done.

My teacher thought Lars Wesselus and I would be competent enough to do this project and so we did.

The program is being used by the members at their home and it's all connected to a centralized database.

My girlfriend's mother needs to merge several data files at the end of each month, she did this by hand until now. She asked her daughter if she could create a small program that would do this for her. I've helped her out with several features of it since my girlfriend didn't have much time.

One chooses a directory in where the files reside, the program will scan the directory for any supported files and then sorts out the sets that need to be merged. All the sets are presented after sorting and can be enabled or disabled individually. Eventually one choses the destination directory and the program will merge & save the sets.

This was a project assigned to Lars Wesselius and me at our internship with C-Services Holland. We had to create a system that would allow their employees to register their projects hours better, since by then it was still done on paper.

We had the whole project split up into two major modules, a webinterface and a Java-based server at the backend taking care of data storage and several other things. Lars worked on the Java server and I did the webui.

The communication was done via XMLRPC, a commonly used protocol. The Java server used a MySQL DB for storage.

Our employer and collegues are very satisfied with the results.

This is/was a small MMORPG. It's a personal project, which I'm working on whenever I feel like it. It originally started as more of a proof of concept for myself, to see how a sprite-based game would work. I didn't use any libraries, since I wanted to learn how myself.

After a year of inactivity I decided to pick up the project and start over. Because of this, some features are gone. Like Multiplayer, NPC's and Chat. I've decided to focus a bit more on the engine itself before I get into the MMORPG part of it.

As of this writing you can walk around, even do several dances and walk to several maps. But eventually I'll probably get a story and stuff together for a 'full' game.

Not sure when I work on this, just randomly when I feel like it.

This was a small program powered mainly by plugins to bring several services together. I've worked on this project together with a good friend of mine, Lars Wesselius. We both worked on Omnivide itself, besides that I've mainly done work on the MSN Messenger plugin so far.

As of this writing we gave up on the project. We came across a few problems and eventually we decided to give up on it. We had a Twitter, MSN Messenger, Music Player and an extended version of the Music Player was in development but it went it's own way at http://musicalexperience.org.

We've also had plans for an AIM client, a Flickr plugin.

Since I moved over to a Virtual Dedicated Server, I needed something to keep track of things and Webmin/Virtualmin is nice but not exactly my cup of tea. So I did a complete rewrite of my old Portal and added several features to allow me to manage domains a bit.

It featured a dashboard with quick info, RSS feeds, Events / Calendar, Favorites, Quick search, Web and Server statistics, File storage, Local file and MySQL management and several Network tools like Ping, Trace, Port Scan and a DNS lookup tool.

Eventually I decided to drop the whole thing, since I moved to use Google's portal and several other services. 'Why reinvent the wheel?' right?
Murderbation.org Photobook

An extension of my girlfriend's weblog, she wanted a place to upload photos.

The idea of a photo album came from her as well, for me it was just another challenge. Taking things a step further than the original design.

To achieve a bit of a genuine feeling to the photoalbum I've added made some polaroid frames, rotating them a bit randomly, adding some shadow also dynamically and ofcourse the tape to keep them in place. To the eye only ofcourse :)

To make things easier for my girlfriend, I've also included some features to auto-resize all the images to fit the several pages. The only thing she needs to do is pick a photo, upload it and it'll be added automatically.

The weblog of my girlfriend, fully rendered in PHP with GD, some of my best work in PHP. She wanted a weblog and came up with the idea of a book, I figured it was possible since I worked with dynamic titles before. I tried with a simple script and ended up with this.

The navigation of the book has been done in pages with mod_rewrite and some imagemapping on the book itself. The imagemapping wasn't as easy at first, since I started working with several layers of tables to ensure browser compatibility. Luckily this issue has been resolved by approaching things somewhat differently.

I'm happy with the end result and I'm happy she is too :)

My old hosting service which I once started since I wanted to provide a good hosting service to everyone.

It started out simple, I started making more and more sites. For friends and myself, I needed a place to host them so a reseller seemed like a good idea.

After a short while I started the 'Sopasa.net Hosting Service', a random idea I had with two friends of mine. Sanne, Patty and Myself. People used to call me Sok, together it made up the name 'Sopasa'. Sok Patty Sanne. It's a bit silly I know, but I still loved the name.

Instead of starting it off with the three of us I took it upon myself, it went well for a long while. But eventually I didn't want to deal with it anymore, so a friend of mine took it over and started hosting my old customers on his own domain.

Sopasa.net Portal

Fnae.net used to have a Portal Service, a small idea I had which evolved over time. I wanted a 'homepage' with some useful information, when making the service open for public use I started to add more features. Eventually Fnae.net got closed down and I needed a new homepage.

Still using a large portion of the old service I started on a new one, changed the style a bit to match the 'Sopasa.net style'. This one only for personal use, this allowed me to implement some new features without having to worry about security issues :)

One of my biggest projects, collaborated with Cees Heijdel Jr. This was a site where people could make profiles. Upload photos, keep journals, leave each other messages, send private
messages, hang out on the forum and more.

Eventually closed down due lack of interest.
