piksels

I figured it would be a nice idea to show everyone where I’m living, so I decided to compile a panorama of some pictures I took a while back.

This second panorama is of the Rotterdam Port, one of the largest ports in the world.

Unfortunately it started to rain while taking the pictures, so you see a couple small water drops blurring the image of the first panorama on the left. But it should give you a good idea of what Rotterdam looks like, and truly how flat The Netherlands is.

Hope you like it =)

It’s been far too long since the last time I’ve written a post, my apologies. But I’ll be back on track writing posts on a regular basis soon as I get some important work out of the way. But until then I’m leaving you all with something to think about:

enjoy =)

In response to one of my previous posts about bad file versioning.

Two weeks ago I wrote a post on the problems of file versioning, in which I cried out to Adobe:

“Dear Adobe,

I’m kind of sitting here online with a couple million designers, and we think you should fix this.

Love,
Designers”

And little did I know, Adobe was sitting right there listening to me. I unexpectedly received a kind email from the Adobe Product manager, curious to more insight on the topic and how it could be implemented into Adobe CS4.

I couldn’t help but feeling how such a large corporation suddenly felt human and tactile. I’m glad to see a how Adobe takes their time to read users opinions and comments, despite of their dominance in the market.

I figured if I would ever have any influence on Adobe’s upcoming software, it would be now that I’ve engaged into a dialog with their product manager. I have willingly been using Adobe’s software for as long as I can remember, but I still can’t get over many of its shortcomings, and I made sure to be clear about this.

At times like these I want to urge people to voice their opinions about the way we use applications opposed to how we wish we could use them, because they are listening. Technology has made it relatively seamless for us to communicate our ideas to large audiences, and what could now be more important in this 2.0 industry than the co-creation of the very software we will be using?
