Let me share my fascination with you about a place called Kowloon Walled City. Now destroyed, this was a place an ordinary traveler would not visit. There is a fair bit of information on this place around the web, but I’ll try and give an overview with pictures and video’s of the place.

Review: Dragon Gate in Oberhausen
One of the things I would have never believed 5 years ago came true last october the 31st. A well known Japanese promotion hosted a show just a one hour drive from my house. You bet I was exited about this!
Today I quit supporting IE6
At least, on my personal websites I’m not going to put hopeless effort in Internet Explorer 6. And you are looking at one of them. Just recently this website got a whole new front-end (and some more regular posts I hope) and in the process I did not do a lot of finetuning for IE6. As a front-end developer I have to say: what a relief!
New website for Margriet Hogeweg
Just before Christmas eve I finished my latest bit of work. I helped out Margriet Hogeweg with her new website. Margriet writes great children’s books.
Roos van Nijmegen
Today a website I built went live. It’s De Roos van Nijmegen a well known band competition here in Nijmegen. It was a (part) voluntary built website but I’m glad and honored they gave me the assignment to build it.
I worked on the web design, wrote the XHTML and CSS and implemented Joomla as a CMS.
Back by popular demand
Oh boy, how did I manage to not update my own website for almost 10 months?!? Well, there was so much going on! Luckily Myrthe kept on blogging. But I neglected this site completely.
So, what has been going on? A lot of things! Work wise, life wise.. I’ve literally got requests to finally update my site again (you know who you are..) so here I am! I’ll give you a short rundown. I’ve got lot’s of quick design stuff to share!
Check out your own culture
It’s funny how easy you get accustomed to the typical aspects of the country you live in. I’m a big fan of experiencing and exploring other cultures and I can totally be amazed if things are just *so different* from what we’re used to over in my country.
But looking at your own culture from someone else’s point of view can be real eyeopener as well.
CSS line height and Internet Explorer 7
When you’re coding an XHTML website you’ll spend most of the time perfecting CSS. At least, that’s my experience.
And in the coding process, you come across all the differences in browsers. So when you are coding websites for a few years, you sometimes have the feeling you’ve seen all bugs. Well, I came across an exotic one lately.
IE7 and the line-height property… It almost cracked my brain..
Pro-wrestling review: wXw Full Force VI, Oberhausen Germany
This weekend was a great pro-wrestling weekend. With a live wrestling show that featured NOAH stars, some US indy wrestlers and a pre-show evening with watching some Japanese wrestling on DVD.
So I think it’s about time I do another pro-wrestling review! Sit back, take a cold drink and check it out.
ETA: Added some pics!
Pro-wrestling review: NJPW Circuit 2007 New Japan ISM
It’s time for some pro-wrestling again! After all, this site isn’t called DutchWrestling for nothing. This pro-wrestling review is the first in a series of reviews about events I watched and want to write about. I’m planning on doing about one review every two months or so.
This review is about New Japan’s (NJPW in short) last big card. It took place on 18 february 2007 in Tokyo. It features Kurt Angle’s NJPW debut, IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion Minoru vs. Wataru Inoue and the IWGP Heavyweight Title bout between Tanahashi and Kanemoto.
