Another Open Source application made it to my laptop. This time it is the Gimp. As far as I know and can remember the Gimp used to be a Mac application for image-processing. A lot changed since then. Now it is a application that can be fully compared with software as Photoshop. I thought I…

At Mulligans and “Het Fornuis”
Last Sunday I traveled early back to Amsterdam. That afternoon some colleagues and I had planned to get together in Amsterdam and have a good time, all meant as an team event.
