Hi, I am Floris.

  • Learn a new language (Spanish)

    In 2014 I want to get started with learning a new language. Spanish comes to mind, since I’ve yet to try it every in my life. On iOS there’s an app called duolingo which uses an easy step by step playful way of learning the language. Worth to try if you ask me, and that’s…

  • A web site is like an apartment complex

    As a visitor to an apartment complex you can be a user browsing a web site. This is my analogy that I have been using for decades to explain “html is a house”. It’s the easiest way in my opinion to visually show someone with a little bit of imagination what I do when I…

  • Network Upgrade 2014

    The last network upgrade wasn’t worth mentioning. The Internet and Telecom providers both had very little to offer, and after realising what poor quality television content is, and how much I use my iPhone versus an old fashioned landline I simply gave them a call and told them I wanted to upgrade, or downgrade, and…

  • Sick of shit

    Each day is a gift, if you make it what you want it to be. Aim for something higher right, achieve it by effort. But I have an obstacle in the way that I have to overcome daily. And I am sick of this shit. Sometimes that’s just how it is.

  • New Years Resolutions 2014

    Utterly irritated by the amount of time available to me, while still feeling there’s no time for anything. I feel forced to rethink what I wish to do with my time. What things do I need to do? What sort of things can I do to make life fun and interesting? What can I do…

  • iPhone 5S

    When Apple introduced changes to their company, including dropping the ‘computers’ part from their name, it felt like they were ready for the future, and with the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 it became pretty clear. I couldn’t believe what I dreamed about with my friends, to have a computer in your pocket, with…
