15kHz on LCD monitors
15kHz monitors Most PC monitors made for VGA and later graphics adapters have a horizontal sync of 31.5kHz or higher, but most home computers including the Commodore Amiga line, as well as CGA and EGA for PC, have a hsync of about 15kHz as standard (PAL or NTSC). Many ‘recent’ monitors therefore do not properly […]

Our company uses C#, Javascript, HTML and CSS and various (Microsoft) .NET technologies. It’s an exciting change and I will try to keep this blog updated with my progress. Prior experience I’ve […]

Bugs or feature requests for the app itself can […]

Kringloopwinkelen

De volgende kringloopwinkels heb ik bezocht: Goirle: La Poubelle Goirle Voorheen van de Kringlooplijn, nu La Poubelle. Kleiner en gezelliger dan Tilburg. Hilversum: De Kringloper Oisterwijk: Kringlooplijn Oisterwijk Tilburg Kringloop […]

Rotterdam 2015/01/18
Today I had a great day, seeing Marike Jager perform at ‘Kantine Walhalla’ in Rotterdam. The show was amazing, not only Marike’s awesome songs and voice, and Henk Jan Heuvelink’s expressive piano playing, but also because of the addition of a live ‘projectionist’. Visuals were not done simply using an LCD projector, but using real […]
