So far the presented methods did not always suit my needs, so I created yet another decoder. It is created in JavaScript for reasons I will describe below.

strelitzia.net
Bio
This is strelitzia.net, the personal domain of Jeroen Zomer.
A strelitzia is a special kind of flower. Although Jeroen doesn't have green fingers, his wife has. They both have some special, undefinable feelings for the strelitzia. It was chosen in the blink of an eye back in 2001 when only companies could register a .nl domain. Strelitzia.net somehow stuck.
Jeroen lives in The Netherlands, with his wife and beautiful daughter. He is trying to learn to play the guitar, loves cats and likes his BMW R1150GS motorcycle. He owns and operates many computers, running Windows, OSX, Linux and FreeBSD.
He specialized in IBM WebSphere and IBM security products. Jeroen works as a consultant and IT architect in internet technology and IT security related areas.
