About twenty years ago, in July 2004, I started a little – now long gone – blogspot.com weblog, mainly to document and share my ERASMUS experience in Copenhagen.
You are now looking at what it has become over the years…

Reviving a school website
Earlier this year I took on the task of reviving my son’s high school website. Now we have finally reached the point where the school has decided to officially move from the old and outdated site to this new one.
After another less successful attempt by someone else to relaunch the site, we decided to go for a slimmer and simpler approach this time to minimise maintenance.
Using WordPress, I derived a minimally modified but dedicated child theme based on Twenty Twenty and wrote a bit of PHP, Javascript and HTML/CSS code to adapt the site to the needs and wishes of the school staff.
Some content still needs to be added, but the site is already more functional and complete than the old one, so the school decided to launch it at their summer party today.
I will continue to support the school team with maintenance, development and working on the long list of ideas we still have for the site. These include updating some of the images in collaboration with the photography course and better integrating the school newspaper and other school projects.
Mapping targets
Over the past few days, I’ve been playing around with a new and updated course map for our archery club, TFBS München e.V. Traditioneller Feldbogensportverein, which today found its way onto the club’s website. Let me know if you have comments …
ATLAS detector slice
In addition to new animated logos for video productions of the ATLAS Collaboration, I have been working on a revised, 1080p version of the animated ATLAS detector slice, showing the interaction of different particles inside the ATLAS detector.
Here’s a low-resolution preview …
… you can find the full-resolution version, along with still vector images of the empty detector slice, on the CERN Documents Server (CDS) now (stills and animated GIFs are here).
Note: The detector slice is based on earlier work/versions by Rebecca Pitt and Joao Pequenao.
Update on ATLAS animated logos
I just recently picked up my Motion project to create some animated logos for video productions for the ATLAS Collaboration and the clips are now available (for the collaboration) at atlas.cern/design.
Here’s a few previews and look out for them in upcoming ATLAS videos ;)
