Dell Dimension 9200 Updated to 8GB. – General Hardware – Desktop – Dell Community
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/24
From old stock, I still had a few of these machines and gave them away maxed out at 8 GB with a Windows x64 installation and SSD.
You need 4 of these: 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 @ 667Mhz non-ECC non-registered memory DIMM. Faster DIMMs work too. Registered DIMMs don’t work.

JavaScript is not Java – A humorous comparison of JavaScript and Java.
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/23
Recently I did my very first JavaScript in HTML development. Since it was a one page experiment, I didn’t want to put it in an official repository of it’s own…
which reminded me of JavaScript is not Java – A humorous comparison of JavaScript and Java.
And still lots of uneducated people think they are the same, for instance the NBC Chicago publishes this at the start of the year:
Java Developer; What they do: Program websites using JavaScript.
They fixed it later but then the harm was already done (besides making a lot of fun of themselves and others making fun out of them too):
Java Developer; What they do: Write programs used by mobile devices, websites and mainframes.

Woof – simply exchange files – one-time sharing of a file over http
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/22
Woofis a small simple stupid webserver that can easily be invoked on a single file. Your partner can access the file with tools he trusts (e.g. wget). No need to enter passwords on keyboards where you don’t know about keyboard sniffers, no need to start a huge lot of infrastructure, just do a
$ woof filenameandtell the recipient the URL
woofspits out. When he got that file,woofwill quit and everything is done.And when someone wants to send you a file,woofhas a switch to offer itself, so he can get woof and offer a file to you. …
Woofneeds Python on a unix’ish operating system. Some people have used it successfully on Windows within thecygwinenvironment.

Hosting an HTML gist containing JavaScript
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/22
The “embed” dropdown allows to get URLs for sharing and git cloning.
Recently I did my very first JavaScript in HTML development. Since it was a one page experiment, I didn’t want to put it in an official repository of it’s own.
I will explain about the content in a future post, but first about getting it on-line as a HTML file that can run JavaScript.
This is the hosted page: Work around G+ “403. That’s an error.” errors.
Gists are the base
Gists are pretty amazing. They have history, syntax highlighting (which you can embed on your own page, see Using Github as a Syntax Highlighter for Your Blog or Website), can show an overview of files or even raw content. This holds for public and secret gists.
The history of all the files comes from a repository: in fact all gists are in fact git repositories of which you can get the URL (be it https or ssh) is under the “Embed” dropdown: see the screenshot on the right.
So the gist itself is available under these URLs:
- gist
- syntax highlight script
- git https
- git ssh
The individual files can either be viewed as syntax highlighted (when they’re small enough, not binary and github knows how to highlight them), or as raw files:

Some useful links on bash parameters: $1, $*, $@, quotes, etc.
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/22
Some notes with the links I found them:
- Always use
"$@"when passing on arguments to other processes: scripting – Propagate all arguments in a bash shell script – Stack Overflow. - Basically the use of
$*is very confined: Accessing bash command line args$@vs$*– Stack Overflow. $0is the command itself; it is not included in$@or$*: linux – Script parameters in Bash – Stack Overflow.- Passing on key-value pairs (either space or equals separated): How do I parse command line arguments in bash? – Stack Overflow.
- Great table from Handling positional parameters [Bash Hackers Wiki]:
| Syntax | Effective result |
|---|---|
$* |
$1 $2 $3 … ${N} |
$@ |
$1 $2 $3 … ${N} |
"$*" |
"$1c$2c$3c…c${N}" |
"$@" |
"$1" "$2" "$3" … "${N}" |

German trains show Kernel, IP-address *and* MAC address
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/21
A long time ago, I found out German trains can show a Kernel version number during their boot sequence (sometimes even at their station, in this case Hannover Central Station). Recently, I found who posted the original of the picture (Volker Briegleb) and through reddit that Volker had posted more pictures on a twitter thread.
So this train showed:
- Kernel: 6.1.0.0
- IP: 10.0.0.196
- MAC: 74:38:89:00:66:C9
The MAC address indicates the network device is made by ANNAX Anzeigesysteme GmbH.

Writing tests for http / https request: Postman, SoapUI, Advanced REST client.
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/21
I’m using these Chrome Extensions for most of the http / https call mockups, and after that put them in SoapUI (which despite the name also does REST and has come a long way sinceSource: SoupUI – as sometimes that is the only thing that works):
- Postman – REST Client – Chrome Web Store.
- Postman – REST Client Packaged app – Chrome Web Store.
- Advanced REST client – Chrome Web Store.
You can get both Postman versions through GetPostman.com as well.
