Mensen bouwen netwerken om vraag en aanbod zo lang als mogelijk in evenwicht te houden, zoals bij auto's (files), data-info (o.a. congestie), internet kabels (o.a. breuk), stroom, en een Wifi verbinding. Als dit toch gebeurt dan spreken we van netcongestie of netwerkcongestie. Bron: o.a. Google AI Overview. Een netwerk is vrij normaal in ons leven, de natuur, en het...

Transport
Until now, I've never written about Transport; just about automotive. My blogs about Light (eg, sunlight) have (slowly) changed my perspective.

Kramperen (3)
Recent bezocht ik, wederom, de voormalige Vossenhoek. Pluspunt: met mijn 1m94 pas ik tegenwoordig wel in enkele campers. Minpunt: dat soort campers kost minimaal een ton.
