The last few days I was ill. Nothing serious, but a rather severe case of sinusitis. While laying in bed, I remade my photoblog SilentShutter. Instead of using MovableType as CMS, I switched to PixelPost. The latter is more focussed on publishing photos. Also the amount of comment-spam I received with MT was that bad that I switched off the option of commenting. But I started SilentShutter (also) in order to receive comment, so this was a bad situation… I tweaked an existing template (changed some things in the CSS-files) and loaded some old and newer photos. It is up and running now and I am happy with it. Some more work need to be done, but this will probably need to wait for another illness 
The new Dutch television (and online) broadcaster ‘Het Gesprek‘ (‘The Conversation’) is starting today! Last week we did our first gig that went very well. Tomorrow we are going live at 20.00 hour! Exiting. The format of the sender is to bring out 24×7 talk-television. And because of the length of the programs more in-depth interviews should be possible. The people behind Het Gesprek (HG) all earned their laureates in the genre: Ruud Hendriks, Frits Barend and Derk Sauer.
Ronnie Overgoor transferred his PitchTalk.TV to Het Gesprek. He asked me to join him weekly for the ‘news of the week before’. Then the conversations with two guests start. The first shoot was really fun to do: three slightly nervous presenters (yes! stage freight…) a nice crew, Ruud Hendriks stopping by and encouraging everybody, and two very interesting talks (Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten and Arjan Snijders). More to come!
