Finally: The PNG image file format is now more popular than GIF, a nice graph that shows the decline of GIF and rise of PNG.
I use PNG files for screenshots, and JPEG or raw NEF for photos.

Nu brak mijn klomp (klikbare foto’s van de correspondentie staan hieronder), want ik heb een bedrag met drie nullen tegoed van Telfort.
Prima, kennelijk wil Telfort niet behulpzaam zijn, dus als ik maandag 0900 geen reactie van Telfort gehad die beide problemen (ik heb nog geen geld van ze gezien, en ben als wanbetaler bij Preventel geregistreerd die – inclusief historie – ongedaan moet worden gemaakt) oplost, dan volgt een ingebrekestelling: Read the rest of this entry »

BBC News – BMI: Does the Body Mass Index need fixing?.
Old BMI: 23, new 22.
If it is worth anything, that is.

Waar je nou wel en geen 130 mag rijden is voor velen een zoekplaatje, ook voor mij.
Zelfs op de weg is het vaak niet duidelijk met een oerwoud aan borden en onderborden.
Ook on-line is er eigenlijk niet heel veel nuttige informatie te vinden, onderstaand is wat ik heb gevonden.
Veel plezier ermee (:

Helaas zijn de JPEG kaarten slecht, die hadden PNG moeten zijn, maar ja, ze zijn verminkt met JPEG artefacten want veel web editors hebben geen oog voor beeld kwaliteit.

I’m going to try PowerLine.
My story is similar to Les at How Big Is Your Network?.
15 years and still growing
In 1995 I wired the house with thin net coax (10base2 w/ BNC connectors), because it did not require any expensive hubs of the day. Those old wires are still in place. The cable modem connects to a Netgear wireless router with four wired plugs. Two go to computers, one to xbox 360 and forth to Netgear hub 24 10baseT and 1 10Base2 (BNC) ports. Connected to the 24 port hub via cat 5 are another computer, 1 inkjet printer, 1 laser printer and an SMC power line Ethernet adapter. The powerline adapter connects to another SMC adapter and switch in storage building about 100 yards away from the house. This storage building has my old computers, Apple II, C64, Atari , iMac etc. Via the BNC port another 2 computers are connected in other parts of the house. Each room to which the 10base2 cable runs has a 4 port hub with BNC and RJ45 ports to allow for cat 5 connections. Last there is a laptop and an desktop in the house connected to the wireless router.

I built my first network in my first rental home: a 2-room apartment with a living/study/kitchen/balcony of about 38 m^2, a bedroom of about 16 m^2 and a bathroom/shower of about 4 m^2. A crazy place (for one because the landlord choose to install 16 A D-type fuse in the main fuse box delivering power to multiple 25 A fuses in the apartment, so I once had the main fuse explode).
It was the place where I established my first company, had a BBS called The White House (which was in part true, as most of the house was indeed white), frequented the comp.font newsgroup (as I landed a PostScript/TrueType digitizing font job in about 1990) and comp.lang.pascal group, and was public domain author.
Having a single computer multitasking BBS, work and storage using DESQview (video) wasn’t the best. So when I earned enough money using Turbo Pascal 6 and Turbo Pascal for Windows, and with student editions of DOS 5.0, Windows 3.0, and Netware 3.x I built my own network.

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.
