Vanaf mijn 15e ben ik al besmet met het vliegervirus. Op vakantie in Denemarken waren er een paar vliegerfanaten die met zelfgemaakt vliegers flink moesten hangen. Vanaf dat moment realiseerde ik me dat een vlieger niet meer dat vuilniszakje met twee stokken, staart en één lange draad was. De delta vliegers van bestonden uit spinakerstof, koolstofstokken en twee stuurlijnen.

The last two days I spent a lot of time on a specific programming task for Moda. Finally I found a solution, using the internet as resource. Now I have succeeded, I want to do something in return by sharing that solution.

Tussen 1998 en 2005 vormde ik samen met Krijn-Jacob en Renéa Dijkstra de band Basic Company. Hier hebben we heel wat bruiloften en partijen mee bezocht. Nadat we elkaar een tijdje uit het oog verloren waren, hebben we elkaar weer opgezocht. En bloed kruipt waar het niet gaan kan: in mum van tijd hadden we weer de oude vertrouwde setting van gitaar, djèmbe en meerstemmigheid in de achtertuin.

I use twitter for a year now. It's great, but since the last half year it seems to fall because of it's popularity. I don't mean the downtimes of the servers, but the enormous flood of information caused by all the people I follow. I can't keep up with it, but I don't want to miss important information too, especially the twitters which seem to be meant for me, like replies.

Having my own CMS I was wondering how to license it. I like the idea of Creative Commons: From 'All rights reserved' to 'Some rights reserved', but unfortunately I could find the form I'd like. I have to admit, though, I didn't investigate it longer than 15 minutes.

The form I'd like might be called 'Public Idea' or something. My Content Management System isn't open. I don't distribute my source-code, because it's my hard labour. It's my blood, sweat and tears, we say in the Netherlands. So that's not open source, no creative commons, all rights are mine...

But there is something open to it: my ideas. If you would like to know how I did it, why I did it, etc. just ask. I even show you the code how I works or give you snippets of code. Although the complete work stays with me, my ideas can be used in any personal or commercial use.

What do you think of this close-source, open-idea concept? Do you believe there's a licensing form which does suit my needs?
