Well, as a new member of the Avernas Golf Club I wasn’t sure what to expect from the gala-evening that is organised every year by the Avernas Golf Club. I heard a lot of great things and we were able to get rid of the kids (maybe that’s not the best way to say it, let’s just say that Kristan and Natalia were very happy to stay with their cousins that night). Anyhow, the evening started quite calm and relaxed with Valérie making me drop…Continue Reading “Gala-evening at the Avernas Golf Club”
Well, I have been into Mobile since a while and I made a small presentation about Mobile Search Engine Optimization. Normally I’m not really into the hype and I firmly believe that if your site is well balanced and has the right content, SEO will follow (meaning that you will end up high in Google). For mobile I’m not so sure because the big search firms are still working on finding the best way to index mobile pages. The biggest problem is : how can a…Continue Reading “SEO for Mobile”
Some cool pics from my vacation with my nephew’s Family (Kris, Mieke, Ellen and Wim) and the Moonen family (Bart, Inge, Aster and Felien). Sun, Snow and Fun, what do you want more?
Sometimes life surprises you with a fun fact you didn’t expect…How about a toilet with 60° C water in the closet. We just encountered it in our hotel in Grenoble. Due to a distracted plumber the hot water tap had been connected to the toilet. The result is that we have steaming water in the toilet…funny but don’t flush the toilet when you are still on it (especially not when you are a man :-)).
Well, Valérie (my wife) and me just did one of the nicest joggings we have ever done. We participated in the jogging Tihange 2010 and it was a blast. Mostly we are running in the bigger joggings (the Carefour runningtour for example) where you have in general more than 1000 participants so we were a bit reluctant to go to one of the smaller happenings in our region. But what a surprise : super organisation, subscription fee only 3 € and all the things we…Continue Reading “13,175 km at Tihange”
When firms launch new products they test them quite extensively before releasing them. For interfaces (such as a website, a Smartphone or any other piece of junk that has an interface) one of the things that is tested is the usability of it all. How easy is it for the user to find out what he has to do to reach his goal (and preferably without reading the 350 page manual). The methodologies on this subject are vast and there are many companies who have…Continue Reading “Usability testing : grandparents to the rescue!”
I’m one of these guys who risks his life every morning by driving from Liège to Brussels…on a bike. And last week it was really a whole adventure. Rain, traffic jams, wind, cold and every other unpleasantry you can think of. My boots were so soaked that I had to put them on the central heating when I arrived at my clients office. I was sitting with only my socks on at the meeting table. Luckily for me I have a very understanding client who…Continue Reading “Driving through traffic…and rain.”
