This is my personal homepage containing all kinds of tidbits that you might not want to know about me. See the Biography page for a more serious summary.

unfix.org is my digital playground and digital home, it carries the stuff I produce and like to pass along to the rest of the internet.

My nickname has been 'Fuzzel' since around 1989 which comes from my cat who was named Fuzzy Wuzzy. The nick thus dates back to the 'good old' Amiga and Demoscene days.

One of my mottos is "It's good to be evil" or otherwise said "Sometimes it is right to do the wrong thing". Great food and computing recipes alike have been discovered by accidentally letting it stew a bit longer, adding too much salt or crossing the beams as such bad things are not always a contrary to good, especially when one keeps in mind from which point of view one is looking from.

Something which seems to go wrong a lot is the pronunciation of my name, which is not as odd as it is a Dutch name and except for the Netherlands it doesn't seem to be a very common name. In French there is a more or less similar name "Jerome". If you want to know how you pronounce it 'correctly', you can listen to the following wav file: How to pronounce Jeroen (yə-ROON). I found out that people seem to find it easy to pronounce it by saying "Your Room" but then with an 'n' in the end, this comes pretty close already to the real pronunciation. Don't worry if you can't pronounce it properly, I am already very pleased that most people know my name and bind it to positivity.

Please follow this principle in order to avoid non-productive arguments with me: "Directly say what you want and mean, explain what is wrong, along with reasoning". I believe that it is very important to explain arguments as we are not necessarily always on the same line. A relevant read is Tact Filters by Jeff Bigler.
