In January I started on a new role, Full Stack developer at Rabobank. One of the developers in my team is a big fan of IntelliJ from JetBrains, so I gave it a try over the past weeks. I must say I don’t miss Eclipse at all. Currently I am running it on macOS, but also in a VDI of the customer, which runs Windows.

Last Friday during the closing session of Icon UK in London Inhi Suh announced, with a little help of Alan Hamilton, the results of the ICS Developer competition 2016. To my big surprise our submission, HR Assistant was selected as winner. Frédéric, my partner in crime in this competition was also very surprised a few timezones to the east from us.

A few weeks ago I released a small OSGi plugin project which connect to Cloudant. More details, see my previous blog. I have changed the plugin completly. One of the reasons is to make it easier in the future to add new functionality. There are so much nice feature to be added.
