Ik weet niet of het express is of niet. Maar de DIV (zeg maar het kadopapier rondom de content) van denieuwe website van de Stentor is zo gekozen, dat banner blockers (links chrome met een default bannerblocker) de content blokken.

Rechts in een default safari zonder bannerblockers. Zie zelf op destentor.nl

Dit is OF heel slim (als je website wilt zien moet je bannerblocker uitzetten / gerconfigureren / site whitelisten) OF heel dom en website bouwer heeft geen bannerblocker :-)

(en ja, ik heb veel tabs open)

Drupal Frontend en Backend developers die willen werken bij een leuk bedrijf? Kom eens langs bij dop.nu! Neem contact met me op, voor kwaliteits developers hebben we altijd plaats.

En natuurlijk, onderstaande is silverlight en MSFT only meuk, maar als je het geinstaleerd hebt (ik hou het niet tegen je als je dat niet gedaan hebt :-) ), neem dan vast een kijkje in de achtertuin van DOP:

Tot de volgende BBQ?

The excellent DrupalDevDays in Brussels -with over 500 developers attending- had a mystery sponsor, DrupalPond.

DrupaPond is an initiative of Krimson and DOP to get more Drupalistas together and give them the knowledge and the tools both companies have and use.

Like in many countries -if not all- the demand for Drupalistas in the low lands is much higher the the supply. While some Drupalshops might think this is a good thing, since they can ask for higher fees, it is actually a bad thing. Any market where supply and demand are only matched by changing the price towards extremes will get in-stable.

In the short term it will lead towards golddiggers, shops and independent consultants who claim to do Drupal as well. Knowing little or nothing about Drual, the code, the license or the community and just use it as a tool and even worse, abuse the tool. Because hacking core is so much user then overriding or using hooks to make a module. Sure, short term a "good" solution but the moment you want to update....

To get more independent Drupal developers together, Krimson and DOP started the Drupalpond for companies seeking talent and for consultants who have outgrown the mom'ndad websites and need a collective to get bigger opportunities. Because we need more Drupalistas, both in quantity and in quality.

Each Drop added -even the smallest one- is filling the pool. Leading to more developers getting more active. And many Drops will create interference, new patterns that are only possible when two or more Drupal developers (Drupalistas) work together. So far many people have shown interest in this new collective and we hope it will add value to the Drupal community. For now our scope is the Netherlands and Belgium but due to higher demand from outside this area, we might consider expanding this to Europe. The patchwork of cultures, languages and habits that Europe is, is not present when it comes to Drupal.

A strong European movement when it comes to open source / Drupal is clearly happening. And while the proprietary software vendors are undergoing a shakeout -every country in EU has a handful of "own" proprietary CMS-es- the competition from these closed source vendors will expand in to "Europe wise" as well, so it is time to join forces The DrupalDevDays is the best example of that!

Via PBS.org I found dataviz.org A website funded by Knight with a data visualization toolkit called VIDI.

I love good visualisations of data. And while most of the modules that are available are not that shocking, but the fact that one can use this as SAAS or download the modules and drop them on your own site, gives the power of data visualization to the masses.

Great work and I expect to see a lot more data and presentation of data on the web. Many small eyes for a better vision :-)

ooh, and please put these modules on d.o
