Thanks to Marc Hoffman (dwarfland), I got an infrared picture of myself while I was in California.
I catched him on infrared too.

English Language Difficulties
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/09/06
Not being a native English speaker (though that term is difficult to define), I like the English Language Difficulties pages a lot.
They help me to get things in English writing right, that I often find difficult.
Some of them: Read the rest of this entry »

Nick Hodges | The End of the Chow Line
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/07/30
From the comments on Nick’s excellent post (that instantly made me feel hungry <g>):
If you find your developers bringing in their own equipment to work then you know there is a problem.
That reminds me of this story: Read the rest of this entry »

retro: Google Pacman
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/06/04
Two weeks ago, Google blog celebrated PAC-MAN’s 30th birthday and the Google logo turned into a playable Pac-Man game.
It was supposed to be up only for 48 hours, but due to the popularity, it got its’ own Google Pacman page.
This is like bing at high school again :)

New SPAM run faking one of my mailboxes, what do you do with the false “return to sender” messages?
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/03/26
It seems yesterday and today somebody tried to use the non-existing labourable account on my BeSharp.net domain to perform a SPAM run.
For any recipients: Sorry for that, but there is not much I can do about it.
My BeSharp.net inbox was full of administrative “return to sender” mails.
I wonder: what do you do with those false “return to sender” mails?
Normally I delete them, because I hardly get any really follow up, and they interfere with my normal mail processing.
But: if a follow up occurs, it usually is a lot later than the SPAM run, and then it is easy to have those “return to sender” mails as a reference.
So: what do you do?

Boem is Ho
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/02/21
Zaterdag na de exercitie van Adest Musica nog even de instrumenten terugbrengen naar het Onderdak liep iets uit.
De dame achter me had 40 centimeter meer nodig…
Gelukkig niemand gewond.
En gelukkig zijn we beide goed verzekerd.
Zij moest vannochtend om 06:00 voor haar werk al in een ziekenhuis in Utrecht zijn, met vervangend vervoer.
Ik heb ook vervangend vervoer, en met dank aan Karel van Breda (van Mitsubishi Polderman), kon ik meteen mijn auto omruilen: ze nemen me alle ‘zooi’ uit handen.
Kan ik met een gerust hart komende week een kwaliteits workshop geven op de Entwickler Tage 2010
