The Europen evening premier of Frozen Planet in Concert: acoustic OK, video + composers’ introductions great
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/04/14
The Europen evening premier of Frozen Planet in Concert was much fun, and great to see the antarctic species we encountered alive at the big screen.
But the Ziggo Dome venue was too large to provide the right acoustic for a symphony orchestra like this Het Gelders Orkest. The sound was OK. Great though were the video footage, the humble introductions by the composer/conductor himself and Dutch translations by presenter Sacha de Boer.
Last two years (and hopefully next week “Return of the King”) the sound of Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest playing Lord of the Rings Live in De Doelen had awesome acoustic.
The Ziggo Dome should work on their acoustic system to match De Doelen.

Track My Runners : Results of NYC Half-Marathon 2013
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/03/17
Ran the NYC Half Marathon 2013 with my wife and friends today.
Here are the unofficial results through Track My Runners : Results.
I cannot copy the graph here, but it is interesting to the comparison of split times and average speeds on each 5K parts at Track My Runners : Graph. It struck me that both Conny and me ran a very flat second half.
You cannot run this event without taking some pictures; they are currently being uploaded here: Jeroen Pluimers – Google+ – NYC Half-Marathon 2013.

Link clearance: fonts, localization, languages, internationalization, PostScript, and more
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/03/01
A few links I came across recently:
- internationalization – Country codes list – C# – Stack Overflow.
- c# – Converting country codes in .NET – Stack Overflow.
- CLDR – Unicode Common Locale Data Repository.
- Common Locale Data Repository – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
- localization – C#: get letters of alphabet for scandinavian language? – Stack Overflow.
– The exempla characters in CLDR, type=”index” are what you are looking for. unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Character_Elements – Steven R. Loomis May 14 ’10 at 18:15
– There’s a good set of reference documents at the Evertype website - Evertype: The Alphabets of Europe.
- TZ4Net library. (TimeZone 4.NET: uses Unicode CLDR v.2.1 based mapping between Win32 Id and Olson name)
- Evertype.
- Software I used in the 90s for digitizing fonts to produce PostScript and Type 1 fonts
– Fontographer – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
– Ikarus (typography software) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. - Visualogik Technology & Design / Hans van Leeuwen.

Leidsch Dagblad – Verkoop Ruïne van Teylingen nu zwart op wit
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/02/07
Ben benieuwd wat er gaat gebeuren. De gemeente bezuinigd nogal op zaken die met sociaal en menselijk gebied te maken hebben, verkocht het gemeentehuis in Sassenheim, en dit zal wel een flinke post op diverse korte- en langetermijn begrotingen worden.
Wel mooie foto’s bij de stukjes:
