New Hosting Provider
Today plaatsoft.nl is moved to a new hosting Provider. The coming year NitroServe is hosting this site.
Main reason to switch from hosting provider was the limited free of charge traffic (only 5GB per month) of my current provider (StartHosting). The new provider has NO traffic limit so happy surfing and downloading. 😀
If there are any problems with the site please let me known. Greetings!

Join Flattr
Yesterday I joined the Flattr community. I hope this investment will payout in the coming time!
Flattr is a micropayment system, which launched publicly in March 2010 on an invite-only basis, and then opened up to the public in August 2010.
Flattr is a project started by Peter Sunde and Linus Olsson. Users will be able to pay a small monthly amount and then click buttons on sites to share out the money they paid in among those sites, sort of like an Internet tip jar. The minimum users will have to pay is 2 euros per month. Sunde said, “the money you pay each month will be spread evenly among the buttons you click in a month. We want to encourage people to share money as well as content.
