In this post I’ll talk a little about my job hunting experience and the outcome.
Like most of us I grew up thinking that after school, you’ll find a job and work till you’re 60 or 65.
Nowadays they (and I’m talking about people in Suriname) say getting a job is not easy (like it ever was) and every body is looking for someone with experience. Or they complain a company only works with name and faces. Is this really a bad thing? Continue reading “Job hunting in Suriname. How hard can it be?”

Working with WordPress
Although I’ve been developing websites for about 10 years, I’ve never actually made a lot of WordPress sites. In the beginning it was just your standard static HTML website, then building your own CMS with PHP. After that learning Joomla! (From Version 1.0 till 3.5) and then building a CMS with Symfony ( Up until version 1.9 ). Only when I started blogging this year I’ve been doing a lot of digging in WordPress. And I love their community so far. Plugins galore! I’m not a full-time web developer anymore, so finding plugins for a simple or difficult task is a time saver.
So I hope that logging in WordPress will also help me get to know this CMS better.
The standard “My first blog post”
So yes, after more than a decade of being a web developer, I’ve finally decided to setup a website.
Not sure what I’ll be posting about yet, but hey, you got to start somewhere right? I’ll be updating my “About” page soon, so the standard stuff what you need to know about me will be right there.
So that’s it for now…..yeah.
