Hi there! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ivan. I am a Dutch IT Professional working as Principal IT Consultant. Every IT professional has his favorite list of tools, scripts and add-ons. In this area I am going to share and post mine and hopefully they will help you as most of them did for me.
For some tools I will create seperate child pages and go into details. This page is something which is a living document and I would appriciate to get your feedback. What is more useful than time-saving, simple and handy tools you can use for your daily jobs?
Let me know your experience with the tools listed in the tools pages and share your by adding your comment in the Tools / Feedback page.
