My filter removal tool broke, so while I had new ones on order, I had to figure out how many F-stops I would need to compensate for especially because I would be shooting during the evening.
Here are some links that gave me an impression:
Don’t you love the accessibility (a11y) awareness of people that put tables as images on their web-pages? The last link above did (see the image on the right below), I don’t: I love plain HTML with plain old rules and left-alignment content when it makes things more readable, so I converted it into a plain HTML table (: Read the rest of this entry »

Ergens zomer 2022 werd het nieuwe Mijn PGB Portaal verplicht. Voorheen verliepen declaraties en dergelijke via een portaal van het SVB. Die was niet snel, had soms nukken, maar voldeed aan meer NORA richtlijnen dan het nieuwe portaal.
ICTU is een speler die exclusief op de overheidsmarkt functioneert, dus daarvan zou je verwachten dat die snappen wat NORA inhoudt en een goed product neer zetten.

Edit 20260218: added archived links to the July 1988 “USERS’ DIRECTORY OF COMPUTER NETWORKS” and the direct link to the Kremvax article from Piet Beertema himself (in addition to the April Fools on the Net posts that were already there) .
Triggered by [Wayback/Archive] Hillel on Twitter: “Gen-Z programmers are always chasing the new shiny thing like Tailwind and Svelte instead of learning CS fundamentals, like React”, below some links on HEARN, EARN and BITNET Relay: conference system before IRC.
I might amend it later with more information, but for now the list is so that I do not have to re-do the search queries.

Inn de basis een door mijn opa gebouwde opwindbare (3 gewichten) Warmink Wuba triple chime – Westminster, St. Michael, Whittington clock.
Die liep nauwelijks meer, en sloeg zowel geen melodie meer, maar ook geen uursignaal meer.
Hieronder links die me hielpen met uitzoeken wat er van dit merk nog bestond en kennis aanwezig is.

Cleaning up my open tabs, I found the below insightful video on arm movements via [WaybackSave/Archive] Chris Kavanagh on X: “Found this in Reddit seems like it might be useful for some people.”
