Hi, welcome to my personal blog. My name is Michael Hendrickx (obviously, with a domain name such as this) and I was born in Lier, Belgium. Currently I live in Dubai and work for Nakheel as a Application Team Lead.
I’ve been doing some programming for the past 15-ish years in a variety of languages, such as x86 assembly up until C++, C#, PHP, perl, ruby and javascript.
In my spare time, I created (with help from a friend of mine) www.places.ae, which is a location based search engine for Dubai / UAE. Places.ae is my little brainchild, and my first -real- project in Ruby on Rails.
Besides web programming, I try to patch together some browser extensions, and some security tools. In the past, I published some security findings for a security group called securax in Belgium, and later when I joined a security company in Belgium, (more here, here and here)
I am an avid GNU Linux user, I shifted in the past decade from Slackware, to Gentoo, to Ubuntu. Now, I stick around there for a while.
To act a bit social, you can find me on Flickr, Twitter, YouNoodle, Slideshare and LinkedIn.
This blog is to voice you my ideas and opinions on things. Things that make you me switch on the analytical half of the human brain. This is often technology / programming / security / web 2.0 related.
