Hi. I’m Roy. Welcome to my blog. I’m a web designer and developer located in The Netherlands. My wife and I have two adorable little daughters and a cat. I’ve been a web professional since 1997 and a blogger since 2002. In 2002, I co-authored a book called “Byte-size Flash MX“, which dealt with optimizing Flash files.

I love going to the movies, and I’ve written over a hundred movie reviews on Choking on Popcorn, which I set up with Suzero in 2002. On January 1st, 2008 I quit my job as a Flash developer to focus on WordPress, Flash and freelance web design.

Subject matter

Over the last few years I’ve become what I call an ‘optimistic environmentalist’. When it comes to the current ecological crisis, I believe technology will move towards being more sustainable and eventually save the day. I try to write about breakthroughs in low power computing when they’re created.

Another issue I’m passionate about is Open Source software. I use WordPress professionally, Linux whenever I can and have released some of my work under GPL. The concept of free software appeals to me, and I’d love to be able to move away from commercial software altogether.

This blog is also the home of my WordPress plugins and other projects.
