Movies, Series, Music & Games
I'm really into watching movies, ever since I was just a little Sven. Visiting cinemas and renting VHS (far back in the days) and DVD on a regular basis: it made me a happy person. Since a few years I also started buying DVDs of the movies I really enjoyed. A few of my favorites include: Memento, Reservoir Dogs, Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer, Garden State and Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. Currently I have nearly 125 movie on DVD, not that much you would say.. but hey, my DVD-shelf is already filled to it's maximum.Related to movies are of course TV Series. Currently I'm heavily into TV Series: I follow like a dozen of different series in all kinds of genres. From drama, action and adventure to comedies to Japanse anime series. The reason I like series so much is because most of them have an ongoing storyline: Lost, Prison Break, 24, Dexter and Heroes. Comedies I really enjoy are: Scrubs, The Office, Psych and South Park. And the Japanse anime series I currently watch: Naruto, Bleach and One Piece.
Another thing I'm really into is listening to music. Everywhere I go.. my iPod is there with me ;-) Mostly I listen to Punk, Rock and Alternative music. A few of my favorite bands/artists include: Angels & Airwaves, Blink 182, Foo Fighters, Muse, Sum 41, Bloc Party, The Shins, John Mayer, Rufus Wainwright. I'm also buying the music I like, currently I have nearly 100 CD's. A lot artists/bands that I enjoy listening to, I've also seen performing live on stage during festivals and/or concerts.
Last but not least: games. Ever since Nintendo released the SNES I've been a Nintendo fan and owned all their future consoles. For the SNES I've played the Donkey Kong Country series, Killer Instinct and Mario Kart. On the Nintendo 64 I played: Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time and Mario Kart, for the GameCube I played: The Legend Of Zelda: The Windwaker and now for the Wii I have: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Mario Kart.
At Collectorz.com
At Collectorz.com I have the position of Webdeveloper. As Webdeveloper I have a lot of different projects that I'm working on:The Collectorz.com site, to begin with, where I do maintenance updates. Then we have the Connect Sites where the data used for the Collectorz.com Software is browsable, reviewable and votable. Another project I've been working on is the Collectorz.com Affiliate Program where you can create an Affiliate Account and start earning money by referring visitors to our software.
Next to these projects I'm also working on maintenance tools for our database admins. They process every incoming submission, submitted by our customers, and make sure that all data is accurately stored in our database for further usage. Besides good knowledge of the submitted data these tools are a must for managing all incoming data.
