Verheen, Vlietlanden, Bacon
Sunday, June 29th, 2008
I met up with the cast of Desire Under the Elms last Friday for pizza and to watch our director’s new play, Verheen, adapted from My Private Idaho. She teaches drama at schools and produces plays with adolescents (obviously also with adults), and Verheen is a play in her ‘own’ theatre in an empty power [...]
A Day in Rotterdam
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
My brother Corjan is turning 40 tomorrow (June 26th), and he invited me and my parents for a roundtrip in Rotterdam’s port and dinner afterwards. We went on a Spido boat, and it sailed through the port for about 90 minutes. You wouldn’t believe the beauty of a heavily industrialized port! The dry-docks that carry [...]

There’s this really cool java application at wordle.net and it stamps out these images, based on text that you provide. The two images below are from c# code; the above from the code-behind of an .aspx page, the second one from a datalayer class:

190 degrees of balcony + new phone!
Friday, June 20th, 2008
This is a (roughly) 190 degrees view from my balcony:
My PDA phone crashed last Tuesday evening and wouldn’t start up again. I let it drop a few times so it has some damage on the outside, but I didn’t figure it would matter on the inside. I called Orange and they collected it this morning [...]
Weekend June 14/15
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
Last Saturday Toverlei’s board had a meeting that spanned 6 hours, receiving most committees Toverlei has, and discussing with them their responsibilities, plans and problems. I dreaded this meeting as I thought it’d be mostly dull and predictable, but as it turned out it was actually rather useful and the meeting just flew by. It [...]
Midsummernight’s Dream audition
Friday, June 13th, 2008
Got a part! Lysander!
We had a first audition two weeks ago and some of us were asked to come back for a second audition. Some parts needed more consideration, others were already given. Ruud (director) told us beforehand who already had which part, and which parts needed to be filled in at the end of [...]
The last of the Elms
Sunday, June 8th, 2008
That’s it! We’re done with Desire Under the Elms. Last night was the last night.
The funny thing about this production is that, in my view, the acting got better and better and culminated in the best show last night. I’m glad my parents and brother were there to watch it. It was also very nice [...]
Valkenburgse Meer II
Thursday, June 5th, 2008
I went out yesterday evening looking for abandoned buildings, and found a semi-abandoned site near the Valkenburgse Meer. There were some rusty old railroad tracks stacked together, an ominous looking building, a very rusty boat, and some fences trying to keep me out.
I initially wanted to revisit the empty factory (see this post) but it [...]
