Who am I?

As you probably guessed, I am Paul van Brenk and I live in Rotterdam in The Netherlands. I've been writing this blog since October 2003, when I started it to write about the PDC in that year. I've been developing software since the Commodore 64, using Basic. I rediscovered how much fun it was when in college writing small asp applications, in vb-script. The move to ASP.NET was obvious when the beta of .NET 1.0 arrived and now I'm comfortable in C# and VB.Net, but prefer the first. I recently developed an interest in LISP and try to get more comfortable with C and C++, but I don't use that often enough.

I currently work for Tam Tam, where I specialize in Custom Solutions for the Information Worker business Unit as a sr. software engineer. My time is spent designing and writing applications and training the junior developers. In my spare time I contribute to the opensource blogging platform dasBlog.

Why a blog?

A blog is a good way to keep track of the things I find interesting or discover and a great way to share them. Hopefully you'll find them intersting, helpful or atleast point you in the right direction. Since blogs are best when there is 2 way communication, please post comments or send emails. Just try to keep them more or less ontopic.

Can I email you?

What platform do you use?

I try to run the latest daily build of the dasBlog, as far as my host supports it. So you may encounter the occasional issue, but that's life at the bleeding edge of software development.
