Reinout van Rees' personal website

Hi, I'm Reinout van Rees. A Django/Python programmer from the Netherlands. Happily married to Annie van Rees and with two kids (one of them has her own website now!). Main content here is my weblog: mostly programming-related, but also personal stuff. But I also have some pages on recumbent bikes and building-construction research :-)

Ik ben Reinout van Rees, een Django/Python programmeur en ligfietser. Da's tenminste het het gros wat je hier op m'n website zult vinden. Ik ben getrouwd met Annie van Rees en we hebben twee kinderen.
