Happy Australia day everyone! Wish I could be there, will be next year for sure!

The guys at the fitness tracker app also seem to have twitter @fl_eu

Colleague of mine just released a pretty cool Fitness Tracker for Facebook. I'd use it if I didn't hate fitness. http://t.co/R2O1h2jC

When you need to do PHP work without an awesome framework like @fuelphp, you figure out what you've been taking for granted. What a pain!

I love it when people don't pretend to be more than they are ;)

"I'm a designer: I don't draw, I move rectangles around" @BazDeas

Tip for confused @fuelphp users: Session variables you setup with Session::set_flash don't seem to show up in the profiler!

Happiness is a choice

Just gave my landlord notice that I wanna move out ASAP. To then save for a month and head out to Australia!

@edgarleijs is dat alleen voor facturen of valt er ook echt mee te boekhouden?

I love how the profiler of @fuelphp showed me quickly how I was using something deprecated and telling me how to fix it.

RT @emilcardell: ..."Opinions expressed, by the company, on this site are not necessarily shared by the employees"

@BazDeas that would communicate to me that you take your business seriously and do anything to create the best. be proud of your decisions!

@BazDeas You would think that it wouldn't be a negative thing to have people know you work on their stuff. secrecy: often lack of confidence

Just discussed a cool neat little project with @edgarleijs. Always fun to work with the guy!

@edgarleijs looking forward to visit the always cold Haarlem again? ;)

I'd rather hire an agency with a crappy own website but awesome client sites than the other way around.

Some minimal digging exposed @yuluma as the creator of that awesome shop. Weird, their own website suggests they know what they're doing

Sometimes you just need a laugh. Today, let's take a look at this awesome webshop, I especially like the copy: http://t.co/w6vOJjhG

@Dryxe ik zou gelijk de premium proberen, van die ads wordt je helemaal gek

@buxx ik denk dat laatste. ik hoor altijd dat je er gewoon nog naast moet stofzuigen

@Jonnotie let me know if it's any good, as I'm planning on doing the same soon! Just love how portable that little thing is

@maddisondesigns a year to start of with! probably until it bores me, which I don't see happening anytime soon

Working a full day today, but can feel myself slipping away into zombie mode. Jetlag not quite beaten yet!

@maddisondesigns be ready to welcome me back in only a couple of months time, coming back long term!

Aaand I'm back! Australia was awesome, best place I've ever been. Can't wait to go back, working hard to make that happen!

@maddisondesigns yeah I'm pretty happy my girl is actually from Melbourne, so no arguments there :D

@maddisondesigns I really want to go the Melbourne though, attracts me the most by far. Seems to have a great web community!

@maddisondesigns to Brisbane, where my girlfiends family lives. Planning to go there more long term next year

Last day at work before I'm going on a 3 week holiday to Australia! Still have to do heaps of work, as always

@MyrIsHere wat raar! Kan je eens proberen of info@wijzijnrood.nl wel werkt?

@positive_judes I agree, it's what makes an infographic stand out from a chart

@philsturgeon anyone who dives in deeper will see that #fuel framework is unique (and awesome), but you'll always keep the quick judgements

Calling bullshit as I smell it

While having breakfast this morning a quarter of one of my molars decided it had enough and joined my food. never had any troubles with it

When a solution that's supposed to make life easier causes more conflict and problems than it solves, dont be afraid to try something else

Did some pretty cool refactoring to the app I'm working on with @BazDeas. Increased performance and efficiency with a lot!

Let's shock non dutchies: loving my liquorice tea!

@Jonnotie that's what gets me out of bed to work on my own things every single day!

@tastapod that's some great advice, thanks!

@tastapod exactly! my strategy is reading, watching and listening a lot and then to just forget about it. The important bits always stick

@tastapod that's because: the less you know, the less you'll worry? I want to know enough to know I'm on the right path, the rest will come

@tastapod your awesome talk at Roots conference makes me want to be less of an expert on processes just to not ruin myself with knowledge

Done converting an API spec from RPC to REST architecture. It became a lot simpler and easier to understand, if I say so myself!

@silentworks extendability is pretty important in my book and I like what I hear from you. Points for #SASS. Thanks!

@silentworks I have yet to try SASS or LESS, can't really decide which one to try first. What do you like about SASS so much?

Changing the spec or a client's API dramatically. Other developer made it RPC, I want REST! Hopefully the client will get it

@philsturgeon good tip is not to use models in them. As your models change, old migrations might start to fail

Unless anyone knows an awesome one, I'll go write one myself!

I want to use a custom scrollbar sometime soon, but all JS plugins I've found are either incomplete, bloated or poorly written.

@tristanwatson everyone has a secretary nowadays with Siri!

Booked my flight to Australia next month. Going to have christmas in summer with my girl :D

@derickbailey today is a day with limited time. It turned 6.15pm within seconds here

@ruudkok they even have a website: http://t.co/hYyxFZ70

@ruudkok Bruxelles in de Ridderstraat. heerlijk klein simpel maar super eten, en vriendelijk voor de zak met geld!

Girlfriend just messaged me im working late. Why? I forgot my house keys

@edgarleijs Holland is quite a lot bigger on that map. I guess it was too much hassle to cut out the tiny islands and river deltas

Rewriting an old API spec that has never been realised to be as RESTful as I can. It's awesome to see how simple but flexible it becomes

@paulvanbuuren @tom_beek spotify werkt fijn. naar mijn idee is spotify de herwaardering van persoonlijk luisteren van muziek

@positive_judes I hope we just inspired someone just by discussing :D

@positive_judes and that exactly why more people should try. They might discover something in themselves they were too scared to explore!

@positive_judes I believe the people that have businesses that REALLY change something have a great talent next to business. e.g. Jobs!

@positive_judes I've seen many talented people who just never considered it, and then when they do, turn out to be way more happy in life!

@positive_judes haha, yes! atleast you fully considered (tried?) it then! I dont think everyone should be, but I think more could try

@positive_judes true! but then some many people don't know they have that! I think way more people should consider taking control

The best way to solve the problem of your boss stressing you out? Be your own boss, start your own business

@brucel those kind of systems that are about things so boring that nobody has tried to make that subject more fun?

@edgarleijs I think it's pretty good, allthough I don't use the compiler it comes with, I handle that stuff server side. Filter as needed :)

With a seperate mobile site, always create a way to go to your full site. A link from normal to mobile can also prove useful

Its extremely annoying when you get forced to a mobile site and have no way to go to the normal one. Tabs handle those sites perfectly

@mrsteveheyes I think hardly anyone writes his tests before any other code though. That would just not be fun or very motivating!

@mrsteveheyes the sort of a safety net you can create with unit tests make it super safe to try radical new ideas for existing code == fun!

@mrsteveheyes totally. I admit to writing tests after my first code. But then in actually enables me to dive in and totally redo it!

Why would you keep pushing a solution that has proven not to work? Take a step back and find a better way!

@Jonnotie jealous. His biography is that package that the courier refused to ring my doorbell for

@philsturgeon very true. I try to channel my anger into making absurd random blackadder like comments, too bad for idiots that I suck at it

@philsturgeon didnt I just read a post about handling complaints differently from now on? :P

@edgarleijs frustrated? :P

@maddisondesigns I'm glad they've privatized stuff here some time ago. There are actually some services that treat us properly!

They should've just deliverd it to my downstairs neighbours. That's a shop, so there is always somebody there! no excuses #PostNL

Now I have to get it at the post office that isn't open after office hours, except for 3 hours on the saturday #PostNL

I was at home the entire day, but still found an "You weren't home" note from #PostNL on my doorstep yesterday

@maddisondesigns that sounds like an awesome afternoon ;)

Finally had some time to have lunch. I'm so busy its crazy!

@edgarleijs but ofcourse, having a full blown assets manager isn't always appropriate and just complicates things

A false sense of security is the ultimate danger to crash projects hard into a concrete wall.

It maybe a nice feeling that you THINK you know what you're about to and how long it'll take, but that's just a false sense of security

Let's stop believing in fairy tales, start dealing with the real world, actually become better at what we do and make our clients happy

Why try to hold on to a planning that's based on bullshit? How could you ever manage your projects properly that way?

Why do people force others to make estimates that impossible to make? Even if you get what you want, how could you ever value the result?

Just because something has worked for the last 3, 5 or even 10 years doesn't mean there isn't a better way of doing it

No matter how much experience you have, you should constantly be reviewing the way you do things.

It's so important to make your code readable. It's like reading bad handwriting instead of print, poorly formatted code is annoying

@bazdeas I greet you while I say goodbye to having a 1337 amount of tweets

@fuelphp maybe it's just me, but I feel a similair vibe. It's something i love about it, because its a realistic view on how we create apps

@fuelphp thats what i meant. But also the style of the code, it's elegance, simpleness yet power. I fully mean it as a compliment!

I love how @fuelphp was inspired by RoR syntax, and how they're not afraid to say so. If something is good, why would copy be bad?

In projects I always try to use #html5 and #css3 solutions to my problems, and then use polyfills for old browsers.

There is this one guy's code that whenever I run into it, I have to rewrite it. Good thing he doesnt work here anymore

I can get so annoyed when I totally ave to redo somebodys work because I want to add / change one little thing and everything breaks.

Did anyone else ever have a problems with attachments and gmail? for some reason, the entire mails body gets displayed, no multipart detect

@hamsterwoede dat soort klanten moet je gewoon niet willen... als je die luxe hebt : )

What's up with people listing their email address in their email signature?

@wnas daar moeten wij wezen met @wijzijnrood!

@michielveenstra en blij ook. Je betaalt een paar honderd pond per jaar aan tv gelden. krijg je wel een hoop "gratis"

The project I now end up not doing was an inherited one with a huge technical debt. So redoing things instead of creating new stuff #notfun

@mount_st_nobody it's the curse of knowledge. It gives me nightmares, but I coop

@mount_st_nobody Are you logged in under your current password? should tell you what you need to know

Only just managed to avoid having to do a 100+ hour long, dreading, annoying refactoring project. One of those spaghetti ones. #lucky

@Dryxe aha! that discourages people from using tables for layout, but not sure if that's according to spec or not. Thx for sharing!

@Dryxe you never know : ) let me know when you find something!

@Dryxe tips I can give from this distance: make sure the HTML is valid and try the CSS selector with jQuery to see if that all works. GL!

@Dryxe weird. that's a technique I've used myself, never had an issue in Firefox. Firebug might reveal your position: relative is overruled?

@Dryxe explain yourself! never have any probs in Firefox...

@RubyvdBrink dat klinkt heel bekend in de oren. daarom drink ik voortaan thee :D

Have been cooking up stuff with @BazDeas last weekend, excited about finally working together again, we've always been a good team

I think this One-pager is super cute http://bit.ly/ostRbT, comes from a list on http://twurl.nl/y22b6h (via @edgarleijs)

@edgarleijs with single pagers it's sooo important to prevent scope creep. single pages work for simple, low content websites

@BazDeas I think they have enough detail to accurately represent your lack of cylindrical filaments found on ones head :P

So many job vacancies are just a cumulation of buzz words. "representable, friendly" or my fav "flexible". those words dont say anything!

I work with Git on my own business, at work we're stuck at SVN. The more I use SVN, the more I appreciate Git for all it traits.

@BazDeas since when do you have hair?

Just witnessed the end of the Space Shuttle era. Now for something new and even cooler!

@RubyvdBrink probleem is dat het nog dicht zit, ze laten het maar een aantal mensen gebruiken. Zelfs mensen met invites kunnen er nie in

@RubyvdBrink het nieuwe chillere facebook waar je oudere familie nog niet op zit.

props @alexmaat die bij alle acteurs zonder foto de google image erbij zocht, en meteen wist waarvan we hem kende.

Iemand stelde zich net voor waarvan ik het idee had dat ik hem al ergens van kende. IMDB bracht duidelijkheid!

In een korte meeting met de klant samen de structuur van zijn website bepaald. Mijn adviezen kwamen goed aan, zijn expertise goed van pas.

@Superjan Ha Jan, aangenaam.

As a result, helping the search engine understand your site is a piece of shit might even be counter productive. #endofrant

Search engines are only interested in delivering the best content. SEO are just techniques to make the engine understand your site better

For all SEO addicts: you can't optimize something for search engines that isn't there. Start with HQ content, that's the biggest gain

Spending hours with small fixes as I have to battle through somebody's code that didnt understand MVC design principles at all, pff

And @bazdeas, yes, it still is fun, even though it's old.

Just played BF1942 MP demo at work, because it's raining we couldnt go outside. There are still plenty of public servers with people in them

@KPNwebcare het is gelukt, thx voor de hulp

@KPNwebcare thx voor het advies, zal het vanavond eens proberen. jullie horen ervan

@KPNwebcare kan dat remote (vanaf pc) of met het device zelf? want ik zie me menus dus niet, is lastig navigeren

A website being a living thing is the media's big advantage. Let's start treating as such! #rantisovernow

A website is a living thing, it grows and it evolves. It's not something you make 50.000 prints off to find that you have messed up

People need to stop treating web development like it's print. Unlinke a business card or a flyer, putting a website live isn't final

Mooi, de meeste regen valt ergens anders. In 023 valt het nog alles mee met dat slechte weer

@wnas ask yourself, do I really need to? is it your pride that wants everything done as neatly as possible, or does it actually make a diff?

Ik snap niet hoe ze geen false positives in kunnen bouwen. Het is gewoon te berekenen dat mijn 2e inlog nooit een inlog zou kunnen zijn

Op Amsterdam CS is nog leuker. Als je aan de verkeerde kant uitlogt wordt het als een nieuwe inlog gezien en ben je 20 euro armer #ovchip
