And yet, as we become more and more reliant on Internet, we clearly need to use it. The Internet was invented by people with large ideological ideas which completely trusted each other. Yet it was conceived to withstand a nuclear bomb and keep on functioning. It appears that the threats we encounter are quite different though.

Guerilla SOA
Talking freely about SOA has always been a bit embarrassing. I live in The Netherlands and the acronym SOA stands for “Sexual Transmitted Disease” in Dutch. STD translates into SOA.

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.
