This is my site for fun and work. I am Sander, a software architect.

Centrical is my playground. Blogs, news and resources are updated regularly.

My articles are published on Infoworld, AutomatiseringsGids and Emerce, too.

I gather worldwide news, whether it is about e-commerce or service oriented architectures.

My resume, the Web Unified Process and the general conditions are offered in several formats.

Some more information about me is shown here, like a resume, professional history and more.

Things I do are audits, architecture design and strategic advice.

Read the cases of customers like Akzo Nobel, Sanoma Publishers and VNU.

Stuff that happens to me sometimes inspires me to write. It may be nonsense, though.

WUP (Web Unified Process) is a lightweight and agile development method for web projects.

This where I keep technical posts that might come in handy.

Congress Abandons WikiConstitution

Congress scrapped the open-source, open-edit, online version of the Constitution Monday, only two months after it went live.

"The idea seemed to dovetail perfectly with our tradition of democratic participation," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said. "But when so-called 'contributors' began loading it down with profanity, pornography, ASCII art, and mandatory-assault-rifle-ownership amendments, we thought it might be best to cancel the project."

Congress intends to restore the Constitution to its pre-Wiki format as soon as an unadulterated copy of the document can be found.

Microsoft aims at Google

"Microsoft will take aim at rival Google next week with a new Web development plan. The software company plans to open access to its MSN and other public Web sites to let developers assemble new applications that build on those sites--a technique used successfully at Google and at other Web companies to promote their properties."
