Hacking and Hiking in Mexico

My name is John Bokma, and this is my personal web site and blog. I am a freelance Perl programmer, born in the Netherlands, but currently living with my wife Esmeralda and our children Alice and Adam in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.

I am working on getting back to blogging. Read my latest blog posts on my new 2016 blog, thanks!
