What’s new

It’s been almost a year since my last blog entry. Damn that’s a long while. So what’s new in that year. Actually a lot šŸ™‚

I’ve become a father for the second time. This is costing me a lot of sleepless nights at the moment. But one smile of our daughter and it’s worth it. And boy does she smile when she sees her father.

We are finally making some progress on our new house. The plans have been drawn, the city has given a green light and now we are waiting for quotes from the construction companies. It looks like we will actually start the construction somewhere after the summer vacation of 2012.

On an IT point of view, also a lot has happened. I’m actually coding much less coding then I used to, and actually I would like to do some more coding. So I picked up some of my old pet projects and started including newer technologies like primefaces 3 and Vaadin. Have to say they work really nice. It takes less code to get some functionallity in an app, off course you have to live with they way their components work (which I do).

I actually also traded my Apple iPad for an ASUS transformer tablet with dock. I have to say magnificient machine. It took me a while to find all the replacement tools for the appstore appz ( a decent PDF reader took a while).

Lets see what 2012 holds for blogging.

  1. Best wishes to you Bjorn!
    We found on our project that using Vaadin without applying proper MVP (Supervising Controller), it get real crappy, really fast. Interesting experience indeed. My next go at it will be a little different. šŸ™‚

    1. Hi Tim,

      Long time no see/hear šŸ™‚
      Nice to know you are also using Vaadin in your projects, it’s a pretty cool framework and it seems very promossing I must say.
      As always applying the right design patterns for the right project is a must, but you probably know that as well šŸ™‚
