It took a week, but I finally got around to editing the pictures of the trip to Plattsburgh and the lake Champlain islands.

Some samples:

More pictures!

Posted in Photography at 7:23 pm by levelzero

I went out today for a nice walk/ride and took my cam with me.

First I went to the castle gardens here in town and while there was some kind of festival going on, there was still plenty of space to just walk around and take some pics of the flowers (and some geese).

Afterwards, I went for a ride along the Dommel and took some nice pictures from the bridges.

Image Resizing

Posted in Photography at 9:42 am by levelzero

I got a link to this youtube video recently. It shows a very nice way of image resizing, which also makes me feel a bit uneasy, I guess. I can see the possibilities this technique offers, but I don’t think this should ever be a default way to handle all images. Anyway, watch it for yourself.

Strabrechtse Heide

Posted in Photography at 6:03 pm by levelzero

I spent a few hours today touring around the Strabrechtse Heide, a 1500 hectare (that’s about 3700 acres) area of heathland between Geldrop, Mierlo, Lierop and Heeze.
It’s really beautiful there right now, since the heather is in full bloom, colouring large parts bright purple.

I took about 120 pictures, of which I’ve uploaded a few.

Interesting side effects of working on a saturday morning/afternoon

Posted in General, Photography at 1:49 pm by levelzero

So I had to do some work this morning/afternoon … After our SAN had a failure earlier this week, we had to fix a lot of things. We hadn’t lost any data, but on quite a few shared folders, all access rights had disappeared.

The best plan we could come up with was restore all data to a secondary volume and copy over the acls through robocopy. The only problem was that our new backup policy turns out to make full backups only once a month, so we had to restore the full backup of July 31 and then restore all differential backups since then in order, which I’ve been busy with all morning.

Since I was confined behind the PC anyway, I decided to go over some of the pictures I took nearly two years ago while on holiday in Italy. I cropped, resized and uploaded about 120 more pictures from that week.

Some of the pictures I uploaded:

Lightbox?

Posted in General, Photography at 8:12 pm by levelzero

I am trying to figure out the “lightbox” plugin I installed today. It should give me nifty features on linking images …

For example this one:
The Pier in Scheveningen
