Perhaps I should point all you stalkery types to the Eduhub Development blog where I post tech things on a more or less regular basis.

One of the projects I've been working on in the last year is peilend.nl, which is a website for media analysts to help them figure out what is important in the news. Yesterday, the site finally went public. So, without further ado, I present you ( Read more... )
