I need to check the outcome of this comment at [WayBack] Google analytics is no more avaliable for analytic Apps and send to firebase when you want to track a new App. How to do with firebase analytics? there … – Xavi P. – Google+:
I’m working on an implementation. It’ll be an extension of what I did with Firebase Cloud Messaging:

However, my implementation may or may not become a part of a commercial solution that includes other Firebase services, including Firebase Database, using the Android and iOS SDKs

Since ping has a more predictible output over Windows versions than ipconfig, I use this in a batch file:
for /f "delims=[] tokens=2" %%a in ('ping -4 -n 1 %ComputerName% ^| findstr [') do set NetworkIP=%%a
echo Network IP: %NetworkIP%
Source: [WayBack] How do I get the IP address into a batch-file variable? – Stack Overflow
Thanks [WayBack] bruce965.

Cool tool: [WayBack] Windows Services Dependency Viewer – Home:
Windows Services Dependency Viewer is a simple tool that provides the following information:
- Windows service dependent and antecedent services
- Services grouped by process
- Service details (from Win32_Service WMI class)
- Service process details (from Win32_Process WMI class
This tremendously helps getting an overview of which Windows Services to monitor for running state: if for instance you need monitor SMTP, then you do not need to monitor Event Log as that is a requirement.

Like any product documentation, Zabbix’ is shattered and terse.
So here is how I ensured a specific user could edit the items of hosts:
- Added new user group named
Administer Configuration Host Items containing user Example having these read-write composing permissions:
- Applicatie ontwikkel test
- Applicatie productie Approve demo VPN
- servers Dbases Kantoor applicaties
- Changed
User type of user named Example from Zabbix User to Zabbix Admin so access to the Configuration tab is granted.
See 2 Permissions [Zabbix Documentation 3.0] for User type explanation; excerpt:
Zabbix Admin: The user has access to the Monitoring and Configuration menus. The user has no access to any host groups by default. Any permissions to host groups must be explicitly given.

For a very long time, gMail did nothing with Outlook Calendar entires.
So I had to view at the message source, then translate them to Google Calendar entries myself.
--_000_430b30b9ffd74d959b74ab7ba778b487ultrawarenl_
Content-Type: text/calendar; charset="utf-8"; method=REQUEST
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
...
As of late, they seem to be processed into Google Calendar compatible entries. Nice!

[WayBack] Renate Groenewold on Twitter: “Thanks @UltrawareBV dat @marijejoling en ik jullie mochten inspireren, motiveren en in beweging brengen met een presentatie en een circuittraining! #vitaliteit #duurzameinzetbaarheid #teambuilding #fun… “
This was so much fun! Not just because doing circuit training with ex Dutch top skaters is really insightful, but especially their explanation on what happens on the mental level what happens when you suddenly have to stop performing at the world top level.
In my case, today will be my final marching performance with Adest Musica after al almost 40 year marching career, of which the last 30+ years at the world top level.
It is also the final performance of our show “The Composer” which won world second place in the top league in 2017 during the quadrennial World Music Contest in Kerkrade.
So there is one more chance to see this show, at this event (there are just a few more tickets left):
The new show will be titled “Stairway to heaven”: [WayBack] Adest Musica on Twitter: “Op weg naar Frankfurt 🇩🇪 voor The (Last) Composer. Wat een super mooie herinneringen aan dit programma. 👊6️⃣ Nog één keertje genieten vanavond! Next Year? 👉 Stairway To Heaven! 💪💂🏻♀️🎸🥁🎺 #TheLastComposer #ComposerDay #makehistory #adestsound #RvO #SvO #July30 #Kerkrade… “

[WayBack] BreedbandAtlas | Bekijk de consumentenbreedband dekking op uw locatie:
De BreedbandAtlas toont u actuele informatie over de dekking van consumentenbreedband in Nederland – zowel het type verbinding als de snelheid.
This is for consumer broadband connections, but for many businesses that is good enough (especially since players like xs4all and HeldenVanNu offer business plans like subnets, PIN-payment-over-IP).

“Bio can’t include ‘invalid characters'”
Oh well: some profile characters give you a “Bio can’t include ‘invalid characters'” error.
This is forbidden:

But this is allowed:

I solved it thanks to these links:
