Work, shmork! But, yes, one needs to make a living as well.

I'm a self employed web developer with extensive experience in 'the south', that is, the developing world. I strongly focus on social applications, or, 'web 2.0'. If you're intrigued, you can check out my CV.

My business is called Baba's projects.

Peaces, voorjaar 2010

19 May 2010 | Assignments | 604 views, 1 pictures

The second installment of the PBI, Peace Brigades International Nederland, magazine Peaces. Now with another editor as compared to last time.

We seem to be getting the hang of it as the number of versions I went through to get to the end result was not even half as many as last time. It's a pity the new editor is not around for the next version. I suppose that more easily happens when (almost) all of us are volunteers.

Countries covered: Indonesia, Guatemala, Colombia, Mexico and Nepal.

Peaces, najaar 2009

I'm doing pro bono work for the Dutch branch of Peace Brigades international: the design and layout of their periodical, called Peaces. PBi sends out volunteers to politically dodgy countries to act as observers of, typically, opposition politicians.

This edition, their first, I've been working on since April this year. We did a trial run last year, which resulted in a layout which is very close to the final release of this edition. However, a lot of small changes, including actual content, still made the creation cycle quite long.
The next one can be expected to take a bit less time.

All but one of those working

OVCsupport.net

27 May 2009 | Assignments | 1255 views, 598 clickshot

I'm in Chiang Mai, working for HDN, on their final project before they fold in September this year. Through a USAID grant, managed by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, I'm spending about six months in Thailand again, though I wouldn't mind that being longer.

The website we're working on, OVCsupport.net (our beta is available on v2.OVCsupport.net) aims to be the global hub on information in relation to orphans and vulnerable children (indeed, OVC).
Initially released in 2004, the website, very much old skool,
