What I do

I currently study Computer Science at the Hogeschool Leiden. Online you can mainly find me in the Messenger Plus! (an add-on for Windows Live Messenger) and Windows Live Messenger communities where I have been active since 2001.

For Messenger Plus! I started as an admin on the forum. The forum at the time was completely different than the current one, old posts don't exist anymore. I am not an admin on the English forum anymore, but I am still active as an "elite member" (although I hate the sound of that title). Besides the forum I manage the scripts and skins download database and translated the website (Dutch). I am also a beta tester for the software.
Through Messenger Plus! I found other Messenger sites like Mess.be, Fanatic and Messenger Stuff. Several years after I became a Messenger Plus! beta tester I also started beta testing Messenger. I am not exactly sure which version was the first I tested, but at the time it was still known as MSN Messenger. Since 2006 I was a Windows Live Butterfly, which is a status awarded by Microsoft to a small group of committed beta testers. The butterfly group (named after the MSN butterfly logo) regularly gets exclusives to test new Messenger versions and other Microsoft products. Unfortunately at this point the butterfly group no longer exists officially.

I am also working on several other projects on my own, some more successful than others.
