It started to impress me with the location for this event which was in a television studio which is used weekdays for talkshows based about recent events. I never have been to a tv studio before so it was pretty nice to see all that camera’s and lighting. And a part of the event was a presentation by Dutchview ( a tv show producer ) on how all the stuff works. All is digital. No more bad old tapes. They also showed us that it was possible to create a recap within a couple of minutes after a for example a live football broadcast. All due to this digital processing.

Because of some wrist strain I started out using a wacom pen tablet. It works perfect for me but I’m experiencing some problems with using it in flex.

It seems that the doubleclick event requires a very steady hand, because it handles it on one pixel so it seems. I’m not that steady:)
