C.G.P. Grey just released a new video: Holland versus The Netherlands:
I love almost all hist videos at
my first encounter to his work was a similar video about the U.K., G.B, England, and a whole lot more:
While watching that I thought “someone should make a video about Holland, The Netherlands and the Dutch Kingdom”. Good to see he just did (:
Still on my wish list: a video on Europe, Schengen, The European Union and the Euro.

Wow, it feels like yesterday, but on the 5th of October 1992, the ThinkPad 700C saw the light.
My ThinkPad start was in 2000 with a ThinkPad A20p. After that, I almost exclusively used ThinkPad laptops ever since (with the exception of Apple specific equipment: I have been using MacBook Airs):

While scheduling this year’s projects, it was clear that it would become impossible to have the summer holiday in the summer (last year was also outside, as we fulfilled Nicolette’s dream: visit the Antarctic region).
So we moved this year’s holiday to early November, hoping that would be outside the Fall conference season.
Alas, EKON (Entwickler-Konferenz.de), this year in Düsseldorf, Germany, moved themselves to November, so this will be the first EKON ever that I won’t attend (out of 3 or 4 people that never missed one). Sorry guys I will miss the great speakers, sessions and workshops (:
I am going to speak on two other European Delphi conferences though:
I’m really looking forward meeting the attendees, speakers and organizations there. Conferences are always a lot of fun and a great way for me of learning new things.

Vorig weekeinde heb ik foto’s gemaakt van de KatwijkBinse Truckrun 2012 tijdens de doorkomst in Sassenheim.
De foto’s zijn genomen op de Wilhelminalaan vlakbij het gemeentehuis.
Helaas her en der wat onderbelicht – ik was uitgeput door de hitte en niet zo helder die dag.
Volgende keer moet ik met tegenlicht iets meer opletten (:

Wise words. If you don’t blog and don’t own your content, your content will be wasted sooner or later.
My content is important to me because of the main reason I write a blog: so I can find back and link to things that I think are important.
For that the content must be searchable (which many so called social networks aren’t) and each post has a permanent address.
Repeating the message across social networks probably makes me more than a broadcaster than a true social networker, but hey: that’s already way better than I used to be in the past.

In my early software developer years, I have been into scaleable fonts, PostScript and PDF very much.
Over the years, I kept an eye on that, and recently I found a few nice PDFs about fonts and designer handwriting:

Ik had wat spullen aan electronica en ijzerwaren nodig, en onderstaande zaken hebben me uitstekend geholpen.
Ze zijn beide niet groot, maar dat is juist hun kracht: ze weten alles van wat ze verkopen, geven juist advies en hebben vriendelijke bediening.
Daarnaast hebben ze beide naast hun winkel, ook een webshop.
Allereerst Meijer IJzerwaren. Read the rest of this entry »
