Erwin AW Maas Blog

Take me straight to the webpage! Hard work It was a lot of work re-designing my websites, but finally it was done and online end 2023. But either the blog or the social-media section got hacked (I could have known) so I took those down, never again any interactivity on my website (this is the second time in 23 years this happened). Website-architecture All the websites now have the same architecture, this means that whenever I need to make changes in the future again, it will be a piece of cake.
