About 5 years ago, when I was still working for Axen, I was offered an ugly heavy PC laptop as a part of my salary package. Given the price of the beast and the fact that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many of my posts about Grails and Flex integration, I take for granted that I use Data Transfer Objects to transfer data between my Grails backend and my Flex frontend. Put simply, Data Transfer Object are pure data containing classes different from the domain entity classes used to store data in the backend. I take it for granted because I'm deeply convinced that it's the best way to do things and so far, experience has never proved me wrong. But I often get this question in comments or by mail (this is for you Martijn): why bother create an entirely separate class structure and copy data from entities to DTO's and back instead of just using entities?]]></description>

And yes, I&#8217;m also a big fan of Steve Jobs, but despite all expectations, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For years, I've been using a very simple but very effective technique to introduce myself in job interviews, and I've always got some excellent feedback about it. I'm not talking about the content here, but the format. It can always be a bit tricky to introduce yourself without diving too much into irrelevant details, or losing yourself along the way, or boring the interviewer to death. To avoid all that, I've learnt this technique at Axen, but since Axen doesn't exist anymore per se, I might as well share it with you guys, because it's always a shame to miss a good recruitment because he wasn't clear enough during his interview. So here you go...]]></description>

Yesterday evening, I gave a presentation at Brussels&#8217; Café Numérique to set a few facts straight about Flash and try to stop th FUD madness. It was very funny trolling in live. Excellent atmosphere. If you&#8217;re a Belgian geek (or you don&#8217;t want to be afraid [...]]]></description>
