I am Bran van der Meer, a internet geek and Senior Software Developer living in Rotterdam, Netherlands. I tend to make use of the nicknames branneman and branmovic all around the web, if you come across them, that's probably me.
A proud INFJ I am as well. bran.name is my personal website where I try to post articles of interesting stuff I come across, dump my often-used code snippets and give some insight into my personal life. If you're interested, have a look around on these places:
Being a native php guy, I'm used to having phpinfo(), giving me easy access to php.ini settings and loaded modules etc. So ofcourse I wanted to call the not existing pyinfo() function, to no avail. My fingers quickly pressed CTRL-E to google for a implementation of it, someone must've ported it already?
Yes, someone did. But oh my was it ugly. Preposterous! Since I cannot stand ugly layouts *cough*, I just had to build my own. The official python website isnt that bad layout-wise, so why not steal their colors and background images? Yes that sounds like a plan to me.
Just redone my entire website, in Python and HTML5! I have been planning to do the rebuild quite some time. But then again, It has to come out of my free time, which basically means for me that simple stuff like this can take a year. A year it didn't take, but long enough though.
I wrote my own python framework in the mean time, to get up running quickly (not). I focussed on porting my php framework (which is mostly Zend) to python. The conclusion is that I love the language! Its very refreshing for a 5-year experience php developer to have more mature language to work with. The syntax is heaven to me.
