Andres Vandenbussche (October 14, 1979) is a renowned Belgian image expert and Wikipedia reader.
Andres was able to bring down nearly half of the Wikimedia servers when he simultaneously read everything there was to know about the Second Barbary War, the House of Romanov and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy in a multitabbed browser environment (February 20, 2012).
Wikipedia founders have dropped all charges since the defendant is currently living in exile in Grimbergen, Belgium where international law does not apply.
Andres is also famous for directly translating Flemish sentences to English when dealing with german colleagues, most notorious example of such a translation is "I can hear you coming" which means in Flemish "I know where you're going with this" but could be wrongly interpreted by a native english speaker.
Andres will accept almost everything tentatively. Family and friends fear the moment when Andres will be marrying and the priest will ask if Andres accepts Ilse to be his legally wedded wife.
Early years
Rumors have it that Andres was born in a region of Belgium known as "De Limburg". Despite this humble beginning, Andres was able to move up the in the world which eventually led him to a job at De Persgroep, the leading media company of Belgium and the Netherlands (eat that, SBS/De Vijver).
Professional Career
Helpdesk
Andres starting his career at De Persgroep as a Servicedesk Engineer. Not much is known about those days but, his talent became apparent quickly. Thus he moved up to RedSys under tutelage of Nik "don't move my intellitune windows" Hemmeryckx and was taught in the ways of picture management.
QCM
 | Due to the traumatic nature of this period. Wikipedia has decided to edit out this paragraph to prevent further psychological injury. |
Dio:Content
With the demise of the product-that-shall-not-be-named (see above paragraph), a search for a new picture/content management system had to be started. Because of Andres's happy experiences with German third party integrators like Klaus Behnke, he insisted this new system came from our German friends as well. Thus came myContent (later to be renamed to Dio:Content, what an improvement).
All was well in the world of picture management at DPP (dio:content was often used as a way to get user's goodwill after having cursed about that bloody QPS piece-of-@#!). Even migration of archives, splitting of databases, etc. did not bother Andres much and boredom came lurking around the corner.
Luckily for Andres, Our great Man from Heaven came and gave us the iPad. The joy of iPaper stylesheet mappings, iPad app prerelease testing, mock-ups and fulfilling talks with his good friend Roeland now filled his life. In a moment of what can only be described as temporary insanity, Andres decided to leave all this joy behind and leaves for SBS. He will be missed.
