Company Laptop

We currently have a problem with housing at the business. Turnover has more than doubled in the last year and many people have joined. I have already had to give up my office to two young Sales Engineers and a small reorganization of office space is now taking place. I will be working from home one day more and will have a kind of flex desk at the office, a new laptop (HP Elitebook 650 G9 notebook 15.6" fhd, i7-1255u) with an HP USB-C G5 Essential Dock to 2 new 25" monitors.

At home I have the laptop on a charger and with HDMI to a 40" Samsung LED TV.

I also connected my Macbook Pro to this, so to save some desk space I bought the following laptop/monitor table arm on marktplaats and picked it up in Utrecht Overvecht (€30).

Fish Doorbell at Weerdsluis Utrecht - Live Stream (Spring only)

The concept of the Utrecht visdeurbel.nl at the Weerdsluis is as simple as it is effective: if you see a fish appear in front of the underwater camera on the livestream via visdeurbel.nl, you can press the bell digitally. If you do this, the lock keeper will receive a notification and he or she can open the gate, allowing the fish to continue their underwater journey.

About the fish doorbell:

Fish are an important part of the water in Utrecht: rivers, canals and canals. They eat water insects and help maintain good water quality. That's why we help fish on their annual migration to a good place to lay eggs and reproduce. We do that with the fish doorbell. With this you, as a resident or visitor of Utrecht, can give the fish a helping hand. By pressing the fish doorbell, you signal to the lock keeper that there are fish waiting to swim through. He can then decide to open the lock. Normally that didn't happen often in the spring. Now that is possible every day. In this way, together we ensure that fish do not have to wait as long for the Weerdsluis. That's good, because it reduces their risk of being eaten by other animals, such as herons and cormorants.

LaPaz 1/2 classical guitar, sunburst

LaPaz has opted for a traditional wide nut (45 mm). This makes it easier to pick chords without accidentally touching the wrong string and make fingerpicking a lot easier. Of course, the eye also wants something. Suitable for ages from 5 years.

ENO TC-16 Trouble Overdrive effectpedaal

Met de TC-16 Trouble Overdrive heeft u een effectpedaal in handen dat zeer weinig ruimte inneemt op uw pedalboard. Deze ENO stompbox levert u een natuurgetrouwe weergave van een romige Britse buizen-overdrive met een rijke laag aan boventonen. De twee-standenschakelaar geeft u de keuze tussen de HP en LP instellingen die u voorzien van een groter dynamische bereik.

ENO TC-16 Trouble Overdrive

Binnen vintage varianten van muziekstijlen als elektrische blues en rock is de Trouble Overdrive uitstekend inzetbaar. Uw cleane gitaargeluid wordt ongekleurd weergegeven wanneer deze True Bypass TC-16 stompbox uitgeschakeld staat. Met Drive bepaalt u de mate van vervorming, de Tone potmeter bepaalt waar u klankmatig de nadruk wilt leggen en het algehele volume van dit ENO effect wordt ingesteld met de Level draaiknop.
