Unicodechecker

Unicodechecker is a free tool with the possibility to convert your unicode text into html, without having to change brackets included in the text and all that ..
If for some reason you’re looking for the html encoding of a special charachter - UnicodeChecker will display that character along with its UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings, XHTML entity, Unicode Name, mapping information and much more …
Some texteditors may have this option included in their software but if they don’t unicodechecker can save you a lot of valuable time …

Quiet

Yes, it’s been really quiet over here.
That’s because I recently stopped at my previous job and started working as a independant for my own firm, Code d’Or together with my colleague Frank. When checking the site you shouldn’t pay attention to the design, since we are working on a brand new sexy one. (I always find it easier to make designs for other people. When I have to start making stuff for myself - I’m never happy with the final result … Anyway, we will get there some day ..)
I still have a lot of paperwork to do for the independancy - but I feel as reborn and have a lot of energy.
Strange what some decisions can do to you …

Nabaztag love

nabaztag loveFrom now on I’m happily married to Ekmi
I’m so happy Imke organised everything so well.
I was truly nervous about it - but everything went very smoothly.
Nice food, nice location, … and of course a big thank you to Clo as well - for making this all happen.
