Sidenote: Kicking it off in February

jez — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:06:07 +0000

Just in the midst of finishing my term paper about change evaluation (organisational change and transformation) in Germany. I will return to London on the 27th. Then I will also kick-start my new site (which has actually been sitting on my server for weeks), reveal my new brand concept, theme-ish club, have all my themes released as GPL on the themeviewer, as well as offer my first “non-free” theme (this layout) to the public. Please bear with me in the meantime, I know I have been damn quiet recently, but there have been rather good reasons. I shot plenty pictures in London which are available at Flickr (you will find your way?) – some nice tube and motion images there.
If you want to help me built momentum for an awesome kickstart 2009, please contact me using the usual channels.

What I have been up-to

jez — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 11:24:19 +0000

Some months ago I mentioned that I were busy being General Manager of a twelve-man Student-Company as part of my International Business and Management Studies in Venlo, the Netherlands. Time is progressing, semester 3 finished with excellent grades, semester 4 is almost done now, too. The company had have great success (business deals with RyanAir, nomination best regional company of the year, passed break-even, 15%++ dividend for every single (100) shareholder, best website, numerous local news-paper articles, etc.). Yesterday I took some time to update the motive catalogue for our product. The thing we sell is a foldable, 100% recycleable cardboard chair onto which we spray (airbrush) shapes using a water-based lotion. Our shape catalogue spanned some 90+ pages and was quite boring actually. Most people wanted to have either their company logo (e.g. Airport Weeze: The ultimate low-cost chair from the ultimate low-cost airport), friend’s faces or some general shapes.
On Wednesday we will enter the best student company region limburg brabant (belgium/netherlands), and this is what I was able to come up with while still writing my 30 pages term paper for another subject:

Some items include deviantart and misc. AI/vector files. Credit given where appropriate.
Oh also, I just noticed I don’t run Lightbox anymore on my site. How odd. I better get one sorted out next week or so, http://planetozh.com/projects/lightbox-clones/ has written a great comparison chart that should be considered. I wonder how my site plays along with WordPress 2.5, updated moo.tools (running old version at the moment) and then ultimately lightbox.

Note to myself: transfer images over to own server soon, company is liquidated on 31st May!

MP3: jez drums and bass mix DEC 2007

jez — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 12:17:57 +0000

I am not sure if I mentioned I got the Rane Serato ScratchLIVE! 2.0 ?
Well in Germany it costs around 600 Euros if you are lucky, so I ordered mine from England for a whooping 430 Euro.
Bless International Trade and the European Union.
The tax enforcement could have owned be bad if I had imported them from the United States for roughly 380 Euro.

Anyway, I just had quick play-around with some dnb vinyls and audio files, checkout the 36 minutes mix-up if you are into drums and bass!

New WordPress MU version

jez — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:51:26 +0000

http://ocaoimh.ie/2007/09/10/wordpress-mu-125/ informs that there is a new WordPress MU version.

I got to check that out, the last version did not play along that well with my PLESK.

Also, checkout KITE CV (already installed) for some Europass CV action.

I got interviewed and almost forgot…

jez — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 10:58:45 +0000

Hello everyone today, I just wanted to post a quick reminder to myself to include the link to my interview on “My Blog it” on my about page. Also an update would not hurt – but than again I have to consider priorities. With over 100Â´s of e-mails replied I feel like I need a break for today. The burning sun outside is encouraging :)

22 years now

jez — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 04:10:13 +0000

Hey all, in case you wondered why the 21 from my short bio turned to 22 overnight…
… I am now one year older. I really liked the 21, kind of- 22 looks stupid, doesn’t it?

Anyhow I am currently still on the road and will be reading through all the comments and mails from the past 10 days.
Feel free to leave your greetings here, I will be thankfully replying one-by-one.

If you are interested in the age-script code behind the age-calculation I use on this page, here it is (I found it on Google after some research):


< ?php

  //calculate years of age (input string: YYYY-MM-DD)
  function age($age){
    list($year,$month,$day) = explode("-",$age);
    $year_diff  = date("Y") - $year;
    $month_diff = date("m") - $month;
    $day_diff   = date("d") - $day;
    if ($day_diff < 0 || $month_diff

This should return 22 today!

If you want to output the age AGAIN, do not use the full function again, but only:
