After a lot of deliberating, the time is finally there to announce my latest project. Say hello to From App To Zip, everyone! And while we’re at it, we’re partially retiring Joomla & More. It’s still really early days and the website looks really rudimentary and empty, but that’ll change gradually over time. If you …
Friday evening is as good a time as any to migrate your websites. The time had come to move away from SiteGround after being with them for four years. After inventorizing my websites I decided to delete most of them. Most of those website were never updated and some only had only one or two …
I am a chronical procrastinator. There, I said it and you read it. That’s why I have been post-phoning finding a new home for this blog for over two years. It really was in need of a new home, though. In the past few years, the hosting company where it was previously hosting has been …

Earlier today, I sat down to write a blog post about a topic. However, the problem is that I can’t tell you what that topic was. I forgot because of what happened after I sat down. Once I was ready to start writing, I immediately got distracted. My brain kindly informed me that I have …
Today, I was curious to find out if there’s a simple way inside Microsoft Teams to create an overview of who’s who inside a team. Why would you need that? People that are new to your organization might not always know who they can contact for certain questions. That becomes even more of an issue …

I have an announcement to make, and the title of this post mostly covers what I want to say. But most people will read that title and be confused about a thing or two, so here is a little backstory. Computertaal is a technology blog that is more than a one and a half decade …
I always tought about making a career switch and becoming a developer, but it always seemed to be so hard. So, other than “hacking away” at some existing projects I never really did any programming. Even as a “web developer” most of what I did was focused on using existing tools. Programming my own solution? …
