Today, a collegue of mine told me how a ‘rant’ about a big IT company he made on Linkedin, mysteriously vanished after he refused to take the post down. This after company first called him (!) and ordered him to take it down. Yay for free speech!! Of course I could blog about how disturbing …
More than a year ago, I launched Toralkodocs.net, a website for “commercial” Joomla documentation. After some deliberating I’ve decided to pull the plug on Toralkodocs when the hosting is due for renewal, in June. The goal of Toralkodocs.net was to build a Joomla documentation site, which would be updates frequently. But due to a lack …
My company is currently making some changes to the way we work. You can always make improvements somewhere. For us, one of the area where we wanted to make changes was the automating of our hosting & domains billing / administration. Company-wide we’re using OpenERP which is a good product, but for our Hosting & …

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 …
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. …

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 …
