Had a great meeting earlier this week. Together with two colleagues, I had lunch with Bart De Waele, founder and CEO of Netlash, a Ghent-based web company. Bart has agreed to be one of the speakers at the International Chair Jos Willems I mentioned earlier.

He'll be introducing us into the secrets of Search Engine Optimisation on the new web. Bart's commitment to the chair is another plus to the programme, which promises to be really good. If you want to find out if Bart knows what he's talking about, just Google 'Bart' and you'll see for yourself...
Even though our chat about social media, pens, pipes and lots of other things was really interesting, there was one thing that was bothering me. I couldn't put my finger on it at the time, but now I know. Having a rather visual memory and having 'met' Bart on the internet a few times before, I have finally found out what is was... Where is the beard, Bart?
Note: One of the other speakers I managed to meet up with earlier this month, is Cindy De Smet, well-known for many things web, among which the podcast aggregator Doppler and edublogs.be; she'll be showing people from the field of education how social media can be used in their line of work. Tom De Bruyne from i-merge has, in the meantime, already assured us he will also be on the speakers' list. A big thanks to them as well. More speakers are already known by the way, but I'll keep up the suspense just a little bit longer. In any case: you can be assured that blocking 15-17 March 2007 in your agenda will be worth your while.
Een goede struik moet af en toe gesnoeid worden, om de ondergrond wat lucht te geven ;)
De Bart-met-baard-versie is ondertussen al weer driftig in de maak; vanaf volgende week zou je mij weer herkennen van op de foto's.

Ja, ik heb het er ook telkens weer moeilijk me, maar d at blijft amper een paar dagen zo :-)

OK: het is duidelijk dat jullie (ook) meer te vinden zijn voor de versie mét. Laat maar groeien! De ondergrond zal intussen wel al weer zuurstofrijk genoeg zijn... ;-)

Dag Serge, bedankt voor je bezoek, je feed is bij deze toegevoegd.
Ik noteer de leerstoel in mijn agenda, als ik de mogelijkheid heb kom ik zeker langs.
It's a small world, inderdaad.
groeten van een Arteveldehs-collega,
Tom
