Luminar/Aurora + DxO Optics Pro vs. My Photographs: a quick comparison with processing bad photos #Luminar4 #DxO
IEEE made me do it
First sticker on ‘my’ Macbook. One of IEEE’s most likeable ad campaigns yet. Colleagues at work approached me because of it (which didn’t ever happen in many years). So, well done, IEEE!
Refurbishing
It might be a bit early for spring cleaning, but this procedure was long overdue. Ten years or so ago, my old Kawai K1’s battery was exhausted, so I replaced it. As far as I remember, it didn’t come with a socket, so I’ve soldered one in with the new…
St Paul: Windows
The great window in St Paul’s (Liège, Belgium) southern transept (see left) is depicting various scenes from the life of Jesus. But modern stained glass windows can be found here, too (see further photos). For example the Thanksgiving dance of the angels, rather similar to another window nearby. What’s the…
St Paul, Liège
The cathedral of Lièges has been a monastery church until 1797. It only became a cathedral after the demolition of St Lambert (which was located in front of the palace of the Prince-Bishops) through friends of the French Revolution. A worthy replacement. The cathedral you can visit today is following…

Links Of The Day (2)
This time: Synthesizers: What makes fairs like Superbooth so successful is that mix of innovative companies, most of them driven by unbridled love of experimentation; the openness of the scene (everybody loves to explain his instruments); the concerts, and the perfect organization of the whole event. Can’t get any better…
GDPR: Already Fed Up
Basically, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a good thing: taking data collectors on their promises, give users a bit of their autonomy on data back, recollect a sense of privacy. But, like so often, the baby has been thrown out with the bath water: many reports about GDPR…
Links Of The Day (1)
This is a new series assembling links to websites I have found interesting or will have to read. This time: Security: Setting up an SSH CA. Of course you’re way beyond logging into servers in our serverless times. This is so 2015. But sometimes there are still reasons where you…
