It’s been a journey, but I’ve made it! Just like Post #100, I will celebrate video #100 with a blogpost of it’s own. On the 14th of December (2022) I published my 100th video on YouTube! You can view it here or jump over to YouTube and view it there of course 😁.
Category: About the blog and other
Sometimes I will write about the status of the blog. This will mostly be content related to statistics such as the Post number 100 post, or when I did a post to celebrate the fact that I now own a personal domain Happy Easter and welcome to the new Project Corner Blog! But I will also cover things that I am particularly proud or happy about such as the time I got married and when Wendy and Louise were born.
Although not directly related to Microsoft Project and such, it gives you an insight on how the blog and the person behind it (me, Erik van Hurck) are doing. It gives a nice personal touch I believe, and I hope you like reading the articles in this category.
I’m done reading self-help books, here’s why
Here is a little off-topic rant that I wanted to publish for a while now. If you are a frequent visitor of the blog you know that I do book reviews on Project and portfolio management. But I used to read a lot of books in the self-help category as well. That stops right now, and let me tell you why.

Keeping up with TPC tradition, here’s a reflection on 2020 and future TPC perspectives.
Combining the Blog and YouTube newsletters
A small service announcement. For a while now I have had a OneDrive file share location. This file share was used to share content I used in my articles. Since 2018 I also have a YouTube channel. Originally the blog and the YouTube channel had separate newsletters and separate membership file shares.
Change is coming!

Product review: PMP Deep Dive
Hi Reader,
Welcome to a massively overdue topic on The Project Corner! Here is another Product review. This time we are taking a look at the PMP Deep Dive online training course from the Versatile company. And stick around till the end, because I managed to get you a discount :-).
Covid-19, raising awareness
Hi reader,
You might be thinking “hold on Erik is a Project blogger, what’s going on here?!”. And yes you are right, normally I would write about Project and Portfolio management, Power BI or Microsoft’s host of other cool applications (such as Teams and the combo with Project Online).
But, you must also agree with me that these aren’t normal circumstances anymore right?
The Netherlands is currently hit with closed schools, musea and other measures. We aren’t on complete lockdown yet, but who knows this might happen in the coming days.
That’s why I wrote this article to help raise awareness on the Covid-19 pandamic and share some reports and articles created by (hopefully) way smarter people then me.

Normally I would do an extensive blog update on how last year went. Sharing some numbers and talking about how my year was in general.
This year I wanted to share a short note with a little information on what has happened the last two months. Because updates have been scares during that time and I think it will take a little more time before I’m back in the game.
