About…

This is Henk Barreveld’s website. I only use it for some software development, occasional photo albums for family and friends, etc.

If you ended up here because I told you there was something interesting for you on this website, I must have also told you where to find that information. If you don’t remember the details or if it didn’t work out, please let me know; for example, using the contact form below.

Why “Urbino”?

Urbino is a small hilltop city in Italy, in the Le Marche region, whose historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although the website name and the images on this page suggest otherwise, this website is not about the city of Urbino.

In 2014, I switched to a different Internet service provider. Because my email address was in the service provider’s domain, I also had to change my email address. As a result, I had to notify many dozens of people about this email change and update about a hundred email addresses for registrations, subscriptions, etc. To never have to do this again, I decided to use a personal Internet domain. Preferably, it had to have a name that I can easily communicate with other people, some of whom speak other languages, without having to spell it out to avoid spelling mistakes. The name “urbino” has this quality – and it offers a nice reminder of visits to a beautiful and pleasant Renaissance city.
