Our first Yubikey client – shortest support call ever.

Today, I had a client call me about how his Yubikey worked on his Joomla site. What followed, was one of the shortest support calls I’ve ever made. Push the button on the Yubikey. Easier than Simsalabim. Our conversation went like this: Me: “Is your key plugged in?” Him: “Yeah, but how does it work?” […]

Random (and likely incoherent) thoughts on the LGPL debate

At this very moment, people are arguing on the Joomla Forum whether Joomla’s Framework should change their license to LGPL or not. The page has reached 17 pages now. Wow. Many posts. Much word. Very debate. Amaze. Usually, threads on the forum die a quick and painless death, so you know there’s a fierce debate

February 20, 2014 – No Title

You’ll have to forgive me for the total lack of a title… At the moment, I’m creating a virtual machine using Windows XP, in Hyper-V on Windows 2008. It brings back memories to when my job was 70% about networks, 20% building websites in Joomla and 10% maintaining clients’ networks. I enjoyed the network part

Dipping our toes in the WordPress water

Do you remember how I blogged earlier this year, about how “our”company wanted to explore horizons? You skipped it because it didn’t start with “How to?” Thanks… Well, either way, one of our ships has set sail to the WordPress islands. This week our scouting party has landed there, and we are doing some exploring.

Continuous Improving over Never Getting Anything Done

Lately I have started to change how I approach my personal projects. In the past I would analyze every bit of the project first because I wanted to ‘get it right first’ But I have learned that I will never settle on ‘what is right’ and instead of creating something I would end up analyzing

My Low-tech To-Do List

Everyone who works, wants to be as productive as possible, and I’m sure everyone’s got his tools to make sure that’s the case. At work, we’re using a combination of ApolloHQ for project Management, a Joomla 3.2 site with Akeeba Tickets for support, Office 365 for collaboration and OpenERP for… well, all other things. Each

J & More Runs On WordPress and it’s partially your fault.

“Nice blog you’ve got there. But, ehm… I couldn’t help but notice you are using WordPress. To blog about Joomla. That’s funny, haha. What’s that all about?” Occasionaly, someone who reads a post (and hopefully more than one) discovers that Joomla & More – a blog dedicated to the CMS Joomla – runs on WordPress.

Joomla! Next: Dead to the CMS. Hail the Application Platform

This is and old(er) post I managed to save from my old blog, which I deleted. Accidentaly. Which makes an excellent case for back-ups. In the past few weeks, there has been a rather big amount of discussion about “Joomla’s Future.” Or, to be precise, there were a lot of arguments without anyone knowing what
