Funny Schiphol Airport Poster

A very long time ago my aunt gave us a comic poster about our national airport, Schiphol. We all love it and it has had its times while it it was hanging on the wall. Our kids used pens and pencils on it, tore it accidentally off the wall, etc. when they were little. Now it was so damaged, we could not show it to visitors anymore so we tore it down and to preserve it, I digitized it in pieces and stitched them together with Photoshop. Amazing how good and smart Photoshop is with this stitching!! After that I also removed, as much as I could, all our children's pen and pencil drawings but I left the damaged, taped corners and all the creases, which add some life to it.

The big one, ideal as a desktop background, is contained in this ZIP-file: schiphol-poster (17.2 MB)

Foto: Baldeneysee

This time I felt like implementing PTViewer inside a blog-post just to see the effect. The photo is a panorama of Baldeneysee, which was also on Panoramio (Panoramio is shut down by Google).

Update 2018: PTviewer.jar doesn't run anymore in webbrowsers, due to security restrictions.
So here's the photo in it's full:

HandbrakePM 1.5

handbrakepm
A new version of HandbrakePM, the batch video conversion tool based on the famous HandBrake video converter, is now available:

v1.5 (8-sep-2012)
- Found a way to reactivate the app after processing so it responds to mouse clicks again. Hopefully this solves the problem where the app would not come forward.

v1.4 (7-sep-2012)
- Replaced the 'Done'-window with a text below the list-window, since the sheet-window-state did not react to mouse clicks when the app was in the background and ready with a conversion.
- Changed the Growl-scripts so now they should work on newer MacOS and Growl installations.
- Made Growl-notifications sticky, like Handbrake does.
