Murten Saerbi's blog
Maarten Serneels, Actionscript 3 and golden oldies.
This is totally unrelated to flash or even webdesign in general but really crazy nonetheless.
I was driving home from a late meeting and suddenly spotted a huge cloud of black smoke hanging above my hometown. While getting closer and closer I started to see the flames coming out above the houses and by the time I was in the middle of my otherwise so peaceful hometown all I could see was smoke, fire and firemen. I grabbed my camera and got out of the car to take some quick shots of this absolut crazyness.
But First! Trivia! Some facts you all need to know about the auction of Mechelen:
* It is the largest European co-operative society as an auction.
* The Auction, as first Belgian auction, obtained both the ISO 9002 and the HACCP certificate.
* In 2009, the turnover of the Auction of Mechlin amounted to 178 million EUR.
* Almost 40% of all Belgian horticultural products are sold at the Auction of Mechelen.
Anyway, enough facts: see some pics!

It’s been a while:
It’s been a while indeed. I actually have alot of blogposts in draft but I didn’t really feel the need to complete them and if I don’t complete drafts nothing gets posted. Hence: the absence of posts. But why?
My focus is expanding:
Where I was used to developing flash content for the interweb [...]

Greenpartners is a co-ooperative producers’ association of 73 vegetable growers and was in need for a new website so Murten Saerbi jumped up and made one for them! A really nice one, even if we say so ourselves. Don’t take our word for it: go check it out yourself over at greenpartners.be

Posted in snippets | No Comments
The problem:
Our flashmovie fetches a Timestamp (UNIX) from some kind of backend code and you need to change this to a workable Date format. It’s actually pretty easy and almost totally standard in flash!
Note:
Flash handles time in milliseconds (think about the timerclass that expects 3000 if you want to time 3 seconds) and the UNIX [...]

Posted in showroom | 1 Comment
After the highly successful absolut band website the sexiest agency of Belgium (or atleast the hottest cowboys of Antwerp) asked Murten Saerbi once again to work with them on a new project: Samsung’s bepaal het verhaal (dutch)!
The idea is simple: read the picture story on the website and fill in an sms on the Samsung [...]

“A new Murten Saerbi post!” your mail/twitter/rss feed said. But it couldn’t be more wrong: you were deceived by the mighty interweb.
I currently have loads to do (which is good and I will definately show you proof of this bold statement) but I actually wrote down some useful none-Murten-is-great related posts aswell and am in [...]

A local company that specializes in public works, both industrial and residential projects, driveways and swimming pools was on the lookout for a website that would represent their solid work and healthy growth on the internet.
A slick and easy-to-use navigation together with a modern design is exactly what Houwelyckx wegenbouw needed and goes nicely together [...]

Grande Home is all about light-switching-technology: They sell touchscreen switches with a nice design for a very affordable price.
Since they promote themselves at just about every workshop or renovation, building or decoration event we at Murten Saerbi had to deliver them something good looking to instantly show the people just how cool their switches are. [...]

Together with the funkiest cowboys in Belgium (or perhaps even the world) Murten Saerbi made it possible for Tim vanhamel to search a band.
If you are a musician and are freaky/deaky enough to play with Tim vanhamel just start recording yourself and apply on the absolut band website. You can apply for drums, guitar and [...]

Withaview.be is a website that holds a list of the best restaurants in Antwerp which you can order on budget or style. You can also search the most popular ones or just sort alphabetically. Doesn’t sound super-high-technical, you say?
Well, it doesn’t even have to be!
If you don’t fancy the slick and polished design of the [...]
