Everything within Reason

C'est moi... Guillaume Raisonnable

Hi, my name is Willem Redelijkheid (William Reasonability in English, or Guillaume Raisonnable in French ).

In my professional life, I’m a Technical Consultant with the largest telecom provider in the Netherlands, and working on corporate network security. My main focus is strong authentication within that area. The topics I cover are;

• One-Time-Password (OTP)
• Public Key Infrastructures (PKI)
• 802.1x
• CS-MARS
• Cisco NAC
• Firewalling (Juniper)

All together, it’s challenging, and never boring.
Apart from the strong authentication, I’m also a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2003). This is quite handy when dealing with (strong) authentication schemes in corporate environments. And recently I passed four Juniper exames (Firewall Specialist, IDP, UAC and SSL).

On the personal side; I’m a sucker for Apple equipment, gadgets, movies, whiskys (7 6 malts in the liquor cabinet at this moment). Besides the addictions, I’ve started a couple of years to master Adobe Coldfusion (since version 4.5 till version MX 7). My older websites were completely build from scratch in Coldfusion (with MySQL as a database), and not so long ago I started programming in JAVA (My first achievement was ‘Hello World‘).

The current website (blog) is using PHP (it’s nothing more than a Wordpress installment with a fancy pre-fab theme). This is mainly because I couldn’t be bothered writing sophisticated code for a personal website from scratch. Especially when things as WordPress are available for free. The downside is that WordPress needs PHP to run, so I needed to add PHP support on my webserver. On the other hand, I keep picking up more, and more about the PHP language. With my Coldfusion background it’s not that hard to comprehend (I do like Coldfusion better, since the markup language is easier to read).

A couple of weeks ago, I transfered my website to an external hoster called Dreamhost. Unlimited everything for <€100 euros a year.

Apart from messing around with PHP, Coldfusion etc. I also like to take photos (with a camera that is).

The results (if any) can be seen on my flickr page, or on my betatesting PixelPost page. As you might notice I’m turning to B&W photography. Somehow I find it much more compelling.

If you need to contact me (for whatever reason), you can reach me at willem [at] redelijkheid [dot] com (I do need to add a contact form on the website….) or willem [at] switched2mac [dot] com. Headhunters may contact me for my resume, but the offers should be really compelling….

…More useless info when the time is right…
