The night Katelijne was on fire!

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!

Murten is back!

I’ve been back for a while already actually, but… euhm… yeah!

I am seriously going to post some new stuff – not only saying this but actually doing it! – soon but I’ve been fairly busy doing all sorts of crazy stuff. Keep checking the site because I promise it will be worth it. Seriously!

In other unrelated news: I am on Twitter! I don’t know how much I will tweet and I don’t even know why I tweet but my last tweet dated from 2007 so I thought it was time to tweet again.

PS: who the hell invented “tweet”. Was it you, @TomAnthoni?

Murten Saerbi is off to Spain!

I’m off to Spain for now. Questions that will rise will probably be about the swfaddress example I just posted and I will answer them as soon as I get back. If you have any other questions: email / comment / post / whatever them, I will read them in about 12 days.

After I get back I will launch my own website and post alot more snippets and projects I have been working on.

Stay tuned and always remember: disco lives in our hearts forever.

Murten Saerbi does… what?

I’ve been fairly busy lately and maybe have neglected my blog visitors a bit by not posting as much as I should. But soon this will all be over, I promise. In fact I have a couple of exciting tips and tricks in my sleeve that will soon be posted and on top of that I’m working on some very exciting projects with some very talented people.

So awesome even that I almost can’t wait to show it to you guys and girls (and the rest of the internet world, for that matter). I’m also working on a one-page-funny-stuff-happening-but-showing-my-work-to-seek-future-clients kinda portfolio that will be released sooner than later.

The portfolio will be the home of what I do in my daily life, meaning the projects I work on that should put food on the table. The blog will still remain though, and will keep on addressing the issues people encounter in the wonderful world of flash. Saying this I want to mention once again:

if you have a problem, if no one else can help AND if you can find me, maybe you can ask: Murten Saerbi.

PS: I would like to thank the lovely people over at cardobserver.com for featuring my business card on their awesome website.

Quick status update!

I finished some projects (that are yet to be released so I can’t give you guys and girls links at the moment) and I will be leaving on a short ski vacation tomorrow evening!

I will not be able to post for ten days but when I’m back I promise to post all the stuff I have been doing lately and even some quality snippets!

PS: There will be .zip files… *sjawoo!*
