A whole different kind of topic for this blog, but on Friday September 5th the Adobe Benelux Livecycle Team and 15 customers took a day to watch the training for the Formula 1 in Spa/Francorchamps. A couple of things I took back:
- These cars make noise!
- The Circuit is beautifully situated in the Belgian Alps
- It was really exciting to watch
- I have never seen Fries & Mayonaise for 5 Euro per/portion
One of our guests, Ed Steenhoek of Accenture, took some great pictures, and he made a selection of 40 (out of 600) available on his website. Now that’s a different quality compared to the ones on my iPhone as shown below.
Many thanks to everybody who was able to join us. Enjoy the pictures.

Disease:
When signing a pdf document in Acrobat/Reader on Vista using the Belgian eid card, it is possible that the signing process is interrupted, and that the Acrobat/Reader gets closed.
Prescription:
The actual cause of this problem is not at all related to the Acrobat/Reader software installed.
Vista uses DEP (Data Execution Protection) which, in combination with the current Belgian eid middleware 2.6, causes the signing process to stop. Also Acrobat/Reader is then stopped.
A workaround is to disable the DEP mechanism. This can be done following

A new version of the Belgian eid card middleware has been tested and works well on Vista (with DEP enabled). This version will be made available on http://eid.belgium.be probably in fall 2008.
Tip to stay healthy:
In the mean time testing other middleware can help as well to see if this works. The quickest workaround is to disable DEP, and upgrade to the new Belgian eid card middleware as soon as it becomes available.
