RIP200666
The RIP (Ruwebit in Progress) party edition 200666 was a major success! Beer was sponsored by 'AH zelfscannen' and everybody brought his laptop. Thanks guys. By the way, someone forgot his toothbrush ;-)



You can still buy the T-shirts at the Ruwebit Store

A new design
I didn't promise it, but the same weekend as the party I created a new design for Ruwebit. I find it a more professional, a more technology-alike design than the old one. I also ordered the articles from scratch and put them in more logical sections:

Projects, contains hardware related projects
Reviews, contains reviews of hardware and software products
How-to's, how-to articles, the Ruwebit knowledge base
Automotive, cars, driving and technology
Astronomy, science and astronomy
Announcements, Ruwebit announcements and housekeeping

Old design:


New design:


Downloads will get a more important place on the site, and soon a software product for Smartphone and PocketPC will be announced on Ruwebit... Software will be divided into these sections:

Smartphone, contains software for Smartphone devices
PocketPC, contains software for PocketPC devices
Windows, contains software for Windows machines
Linux, contains software for Linux machines
(PHP) scripts, contains scripts

In the coming weeks everything will be streamlined more and more (forum, pictures, etc) and cosmetic problems will be fixed.

Downloads will get a more important place on the site, and psst.... soon a software product for Smartphone and PocketPC will be announced on Ruwebit...

As a new service I added a translation option to articles. Many articles are written in Dutch but can be translated to English with this option. Translation is done by Babelfish , but the quality of the translation is poor at best.
