Hi, I am Floris.

It happens almost everytime when I am building a site. I create a basic style.css file, and while I am populating it my brain keeps going: “Couldn’t I do this dynamically with some PHP or something?”, especially when the site includes a few viewer-preferences like a theme or a colour change. Why have duplicate code…

As a teen I always loved watching trailers in the cinema, to see what up-and-coming movies I could expect that summer. Some obviously disappointed, some blew my mind. tl;dr In 2008 I made a post about which movies were looking quite promising. I thought it would be fun to look back now, and share which…

Last week I gave my site it’s first update in quite some time. Both the back-end as well as the front-end enjoyed some much-needed improvements. Additionally I went through the old posts from 2006 and 2007 and fixed a bunch of important bugs. Since then, I’ve been making a lot of changes under the hood…

When you work on a website it’s important to keep it up to date, including the date in the copyright notice. I sometimes forgot to update this myself, I admit. But there are a few things you could do to lower the amount of work. Such as using a scripting or programming language to automate…

Yep, I like movies, but doesn’t that mean that in the last 38 years of my life I must have at least seen all of the movies that are rated top 250? Perhaps, let’s go find out. It’s a fun game too, so join me? tl;dr Enjoying a movie to pass the time or to…

Since 2007 when Steve Jobs in his keynote announced the iPhone it has been a question that comes up at least once a month. “I just got an iPhone (or iPad), which iOS apps should I really get?” tl;dr Curious to find out which apps I am using, or just got a new iPhone or…

One of the worst problems with digital content is that it is a lot. It’s a lot of clutter while at the same time it certainly contains data that we consider important enough to keep. Backing up any of it is and will probably always be a problem for the majority of people. We all…

Your inbox should be zero, that’s why the GTD (get things done) slogan inbox-zero isn’t unfamiliar to productive-, or busy people. Sometimes taking a few dedicated steps to empty that dreaded inbox can have a long term effect. tl;dr Every so often when I open my mail client I spot a pattern, such as the…

My first and primary domain is creations.nl, but I wanted a personal spot on the web, something where I could post more than on social networks, and still be able to control the content. Giving me the freedom to add and remove as much as I like. Posts, pages, users, comments, thoughts, articles, features, tutorials,…

During 2014 I’ve upgraded to UPC’s 200/20Mbit Internet account, cancelled my TV and landline and upgraded my T-Mobile account to 4G with 5Gbyte data. Not much has really changed in 2015 that I thought was worth blogging about. Yes, this will have tech talk, but it affects you, so read it please. tl;dr Once a…

People throw resolutions around like they’re worth nothing, but I have an issue with that. Because, being able to grow in life, to accept failure, to learn from mistakes and move forward. To better yourself and help those around you. You have to be able to look back and forward, with the best intentions. Please…

It surely comes up monthly when I talk to anybody around me. I simply ask how they store their data, if they back-up, review their online accounts, and all the other stuff that is obvious to me to do. But I also explain that I am not really doing as much as I should, because…
