I'm having a blogstop (blog only tho).
Ultimately I would like to mold all my stuff ie blog twitter portfolio flickr etc under 1 hood. Technology is at hand, capabilities are in place, now some self time.

Until then you can still trace my whereabouts via:

Cu there..

Some might already seen it, but I've created a separate portfolio on http://www.duijnunder.com/design. It isnt completely finished, but I better openly launch now.

The portfolio is built with a customized wordpress cms and tuned to my likings, this also made me deside that this blog has to be converted and embedded to a full site driven by wordpress. That's right ppl I'm going to leave Movable Type, just seen the light :)

Untill then I prolly wont post much daily, monthly interests here.. you can always follow me on .

Ive created a logo to support duijnunder, as I'm working on a new Portfolio.
The basic idea was the D and the U swoosh, set into a happy hopefully creative personality. This is the plain bare-bone and newly set colour scheme but the future will definitely push me to throw some depth and 3d-ish glassy type 'Per-style' on it, don't you worry.
I havent set a proper font to it tho.. that will came later.

A new verification method is implemented, called reCaptcha!
To check your a human being and not a spam-robot you have to look at the image presented and write the two words or numbers combination in the reCaptcha box.

With this in order to prevent spam bots to inject my blog with their 'shizzle' (shizzle = verb for anything obvious, or blank word for you to creatively fill in with own imagination - Per's street talk), you also help digitizing pages of books that needs to be digitized.

I've finally upgraded the MT blog cms to 4.23, therefor my original blog design didn't work properly. I've found this template today made for Smashing Magazine, originally a wordpress template converted for MovableType too.

This will do for now.. so I can focus on other things..

If you like, Twitter me...

I've made a Twitter account, with Twitter you can follow some1 and people can follow you.. its a bit like the statusbar in facebook or the WWW in hyves, but then WAY MORE dynamic.
You can follow or post through the web or like I have one of the many widgets (Twitterrific), or apps you can install on your desktop or iPhone to Twitter your daily needs and shares.

The main reason for me was to follow some of the podcast creators ive been listening to and be able to direct connect to them if necessary.. but its fun sharing daily points, plus it gives you the chance to get an answer quickly about matters you are working on, also focusing on some outstanding designers that I would like to follow..

Anyway twitter what you want!

After a massive 4 years, my true trooper and dear companion passed away. My beloved HP nc8000 has been a super piece of equipment to me, and I was blessed and amazed about its performance and very impressive endurance. Even in the last hours it was capable of handling my massive Photoshop files and even been able to run COD4 :)
(My HP nc8000 - 1.6 Ghz Mobile proc, 2Gb RAM, 40 GB HD + 80 GB HD Multibay, Ati 9200 Pro Mobile 64 Mb dedicated)

Ok ok.. this was really bad timing, and was hoping for it to survive until June or July, thanks to some quick support on both sides of the globe (Pa & Steve from Vital), I was able to acquire quickly a new machine, and took with that a huge step forward! As of now I can try to enter the design world as a MacBook Pro user.
Equipped with a massive 250 Gb HD and 4GB RAM on Mac OSX AND Windows XPPro i've got all the best of both worlds!

Installing the MacBook with both operating systems was a breeze with BootCamp and all XP drivers packed in the box by Mac! Now who’s not afraid hey :)
Although Im familiar with Mac Os and already acquired a special interest in the OS, for now I am still setting myself up on XPPro, mainly coz I have most software for it.

Lots of new hurdles to conquer to make both worlds work the way I want or was used to, but for sure its going to be a very interesting journey!
But excuse me for a moment,.... first I have to delete "comic sans" from my new machine before I proceed :)

Thanks HP nc8000 for a super time! -RESPECT-

Looks like a successful move for my blog into a new directory to duijnunder.com/blog

now lets pick up the pieces.. and get some SEO going for the new folder.

Sorry... note for myself:
Plan ahead URLs for Movable Type.
Have to try this.. one day.
