Reducing My Carbon footprint in 2016

Posted on by

One of my 2016 goals is to reduce my carbon footprint without changing the quality of life.

I will aim for this by doing:

  • Replace broken light bulbs with efficient LED based lightbulbs
  • Reduce travelling by car and take the bicycle or train more
  • Reduce fossil fuel consuption (natural gas) by better controlling the heat in my room using a thermostat and improve isolation
  • Monitor and reduce the amount of silent energy users, like PSUs
  • Reduce power consumption of my computer(s) by switching from high performance mode to energy efficient mode
  • Separate waste better and into more streams
  • At work: reduce use of  ozone depleting chemicals and decrease use of polluting chemicals

Translating Pods Framework into Dutch

Posted on by

Last monday I`ve started the Dutch / Nederlands (ISO: nl-NL) translation of the Pods Framework for WordPress. You can find the official translation at translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/pods/stable/nl/default
Initially there was 0-5% translated and after a good day of work Ive managed to get it to 25%. I aim to have it translated to 75% before 1 January 2016.

For those who also would like to participate in the translation sprint, go ahead! There are tens of languages available and almost all could use some help!
