Hello there!I used to be a full time VFX artist working as compositor, 3D artist, producer and supervisor.
These days I am mostly home-bound due to health reasons, so my focus is mostly on tending to my family as the resident cook and doing the occasional remote work for film and TV projects.
You can find my work history on IMDB or LinkedIn and I do have a rather old showreel on Vimeo. Apart from that, this is my online home. Feel free to get in touch via email or on Micro.blog.
This is pretty cool tech. Let’s enhance
Certifying three 3TB HDDs is testing my patience.
Today the cable technician will finally enable Internet access in the new office. Then I can move to the new rooms. About time.
So…iPhone X eh? Interesting. 🙂

micro.blog and short form posts
To quote Manton Reece:
Many of you remember the earlier days of the web. If you wanted to write on the internet, you created a web site. You could publish essays, post photos, start weblogs. … Today, most writing instead goes into a small number of popular social networking sites. … I believe that even these short-form posts, no matter if they seem unimportant and fleeting at the time, still have an important place in the open web. That’s why I created Micro.blog. It focuses on short, recent posts, so I built that idea right into the name.
And since I very much am in favor of owning your content my short posts (or snippets) live on my site now. They get syndicated to Twitter and Facebook, but the original content lives right here on my site. There is a separate RSS feed for it so it doesn’t pollute the main blog feed.
Listening to What You Need to Know About Climate Change with Sam Harris. Some interesting thoughts in there.
The perks of getting review copies.
I did an impromptu coding job two days ago and it was loads of fun. I could go for more paid development work actually. Much more straightforward then doing 3D animations.
The village country fair is about to start. Three days of eating hearty food, lots of wine
My Affinity Designer Workbook has arrived and it is gorgeous.
Neat. A new Screenflow version. And it has some nice new features. But wow. The full price these days is double (or even more?) then what I paid for it a couple of versions back. But the upgrade price is perfectly fair.
Work life balance by definition means you won’t excel in either. So be suspicious of people that claim to be at the top of their field and have a great work life balance. — Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong
Great discussion. Although I must say I have a hard time to see Scott Adams' point of view. It’s just too detached from what I consider ethical. — Sam Harris and Scott Adams discuss Trump
Zelda today. Gotta crack those Master Sword trials.
Working the water pump. A man’s summer workout.
On the playground with the kids. Great weather. Happy kids. No stress. Camera at the ready. Perfect.
Looking at my TestFlight I have amassed quite the beta app collection by now.
Nailed my Git workflow. Now any changes on the site such as Micropub posts or quick HTML/CSS fixes will find their way back to the Git repo and also any changes from the repo from my desktop or iOS will get published to the site. Awesome.
I am equal parts stressed, bored, overwhelmed and not taxed enough. Is that even possible‽
