Some quick links on Korian in The Netherlands as they were/are? buying a maze construction of care companies that were on the edge of bankruptcy

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/16

A few quick notes, so I at least have some links.

According to the ACM decision PDF, BluePrint Group B.V. and it’s subsidiaries, including de Statenhof in Leiden, were on the verge of bankruptcy in January 2020, and the Korian SA owned structure is supposed to save them.

Edit 20200424

The central phone number of ECR the statenhof (+31883280110) did not get answered for a few days and has now been disconnected by the phone provider. The phone number now listed at Google is +31885057000 which gets you to Ontzorgd Wonen. When being transferred to the Statenhof, you consistently get an “in use” tone.

The old phone number is still listed in many places, like for instance [WayBack] www.latest.facebook.com/DeStatenhof and the email signatures of their personnel. The new phone number is also at [WayBack] De Statenhof Leiden | Wonen met zorg | Ontzorgd Wonen Groep.

Family relations of ECR de Statenhof

These lists are not complete, as I focus on ECR the Statenhof in oder to understand where it will be in a future structure.

Hoe gaan autistem om met de coronacirsis? 15-minuten interview met Karol Henke, Bianca Toeps en Chris Verlaan (@KarolHenke, @biancatoeps, #ChrisVerlaan)

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/06

Een voor mij belangrijke quote van Chris Verlaan:

Blijkbaar heb ik een bepaald aantal mensen in mijn omgeving nodig om te kunnen functioneren.

Zowel overprikkeling als onderprikkeling is voor veel mensen met autisme een probleem.

De overprikkeling is meestal veel makkelijker te onderkennen dan onderprikkelingen.

Dan 2 quotes van Bianca Toeps:

  • Probeer toch zoveel mogelijk structuur voor jezelf erin te brengen.
  • Wees niet te boos op iedereen.
  • Gun jezelf ook wat.

In mijn geval, herstellend van zowel endeldarmkanker als een burn-out: schenk aandacht aan zowel overprikkeling en onderprikkeling.

En dan de laatste quotes, van Karol Henke:

  • Zoek de rust op
  • Zoek de regelmaat op
  • Check de autisme.nl website [WayBack]
  • De autisme hulplijn 030 22 99 800 (elke werkdag bezeg door 20 vrijwilligers van 10:00 tot 14:00; vanuit het buitenland +31302299800).

Workaround formulier inschrijven verhuizing naar Gemeente Leiden (@GemeenteLeiden en hun IT weten het al)

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/25

Het formulier https://www.e-inwoner.nl/prod/fr/Leiden/Verhuizing_doorgeven/new.digid is een klein beetje stuk, maar gelukkig is er een workaround.

Eerst het probleem

Alle knoppen “Volgende” verversen alleen de linkerkant van het formulier, maar niet de invoervelden.

Dit zie je al bij de eerste stap als je bij “Inleiding” gelikt hebt op “Volgende”: links kom je op “Contactgegevens”, maar de invoervelden laten dat niet zien.

Workaround

Current state: still fighting with rectum cancer, but chances for better quality of life

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/12

The below thread describes my current state; this is how the rest of the family is doing:

  • Eega is almost recovered from surgery of a set of huge and smaller cysts; her cancer seems not to have returned
  • Brother has his third big cold in 3 months time; hopefully it is not COVID-19; not much response from his caretakers. He is still very confused about the family situation and should get more care than the 6 hours a week he gets now (out of the entitled 15+) but requests for more care since 2017 have had no success
  • Mom’s Alzheimer’s is progressing fast: she thinks I’m her brother and insists I should take care of the burden of her problems

This is a follow-up on Far less active on blog on social media: some personal things that need to be done. about a year ago, where I did not know what year would be ahead.

Abilities that makes you a better developer – Hacker Noon

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/05

If we have passion for what we do, why not try to be a better professional every day?

Source: [WayBack] Abilities that makes you a better developer – Hacker Noon

That is an interesting, but very hard question which very few people around me are afraid of trying to answer.

I think the hardest part for most developer isn’t the tech/science bits as usually they have a natural feel for natural science and formal science related topics (which I’d rather not call STEM).

I’ve a hard time to remember the STEM acronym because it means “vote” or “voice” to since I’m Dutch, and equally hard the . Also I really dislike the term “hard science” as “soft sciences” are very hard for me. So lets stick with natural science and formal science.

So if you are a developer and trouble motivating yourself to learn new things in the mathematics, algorithms & data structures, databases, computer architecture, operating systems and networks, then you will have a really really hard time.

I can understand it is tougher to motivate learning about English (and other languages), paradigms & design patterns, teamwork, or to put it in a broader perspective the human side of affairs. Those however are the areas that do not come “natural” for most developers and are in effect the ones most developers need to work on most to improve.

Doing that will make it a lot easier to work with people around you.

For myself, I still have to grow a lot in those areas even though I already have. Having originated as nerd/geek/introvert or however you want to call that direction, my natural habitat is still a silent place with little distraction with some relatively quiet people around me that help me keep focus and force me in the rhythms that are good for me. But I’ve learned to speak for large groups, write (not just posts) and have many other nice social interactions.

That growth brings so much joy and makes work so much nicer, that the effort and persistence keeps being worth every minute I put in.

Bloemencorso Bollenstreek vanwege warme winters voortaan een week eerder | NOS

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/22

Dit jaar is het corso als vanouds op 25 april. Volgend jaar rijden de praalwagens op 17 april. Afgesproken is wel dat het evenement nooit tijdens Pasen zal worden georganiseerd.

Interferentie met mijn verjaardag (29 april!) gaat dus nooit meer gebeuren (:
