Soms zijn storingsmeldingen zo ingewikkeld.
PostNL laat zien dat het ook eenvoudig kan:
Door een storing toont MijnPakket tijdelijk geen actuele zendinginformatie, excuses voor het ongemak. De bezorging van de pakketten heeft geen last van deze storing.
Ofwel: het pakje dat ik zoek is onderweg, en wordt afgeleverd. Als de site weer werkt kan ik zien hoe laat en waar.

Waar je nou wel en geen 130 mag rijden is voor velen een zoekplaatje, ook voor mij.
Zelfs op de weg is het vaak niet duidelijk met een oerwoud aan borden en onderborden.
Ook on-line is er eigenlijk niet heel veel nuttige informatie te vinden, onderstaand is wat ik heb gevonden.
Veel plezier ermee (:

Helaas zijn de JPEG kaarten slecht, die hadden PNG moeten zijn, maar ja, ze zijn verminkt met JPEG artefacten want veel web editors hebben geen oog voor beeld kwaliteit.

I love Google:
Especially since there is still software like Garmin Training Center for Mac on Mac OS X with – in the System Preferences – the Measurement Units set as Metric, insists on entering weight as lb, and workout distance in miles.
The reason is that Garmin Training Center on Mac OS X has its own “Measurement Units” settings. Where Mac OS lets the system wide setting be either “Metric” or ” US”, Garmin choose between “Metric” and “Statute” (the latter is default, not the OS X setting).
The problem is twofold:
Garmin has head offices and most of their customers outside the USA, so why insist on US units being default, and why not link the setting to the Mac OS X Preference?
UX #fail.
Oh BTW: if you connect your Garmin device, and GTC still indicates “no fitness device was found”, then use a different USB Cable and don’t connect it through a hub: the device is very picky on talking over USB (charging over USB works with virtually any USB cable).
Garmin Training Center on Mac OS X insists in imperial units, even though the system is configured as metric.
Garmin Training Center on Mac OS X has its own “Measurement Units” settings. Where Mac OS lets the system wide setting be either “Metric” or ” US”, Garmin choose between “Metric” and “Statute” (the latter is default, not the OS X setting).
Even after setting the Garmin Training Center to “Metric”, it still lists “Miles” in your workouts.

A few recent rumour and news items:
Since a MacBook Air fits the Ultrabook description perfectly, I dreamed that this might lead to a MacBook Air with Haswell and Touch.
And I’m not the only one dreaming that dream (:
What would you favour, MacBook Air with Touch, Retina or both?

Not sure why unresponsive sites claim to use Responsive UI Themes, but WordPress has a whole new twist on it:
Black bands on your screen are so last century…
Luckily most other sites have better ides, see this Google Image Search.

A small quote from the very interesting TURKTRUST Incident Raises Renewed Questions About CA System | threatpost article:
“Subordinate certificates have long been identified as a point of weakness in the CA system. They are typically granted unconstrained power to issue certificates for any domain name. Thus, a leak of one subordinate certificate is seen as equivalent to a leak of authority equivalent to all CAs combined. Worse, subordinate certificates need not be explicitly trusted by the software that authenticates encrypted SSL connections typically your web browser. They inherit their trust from the explicitly trusted CAs that have been vetted by your browser vendor,” Steve Schultze, associate director of the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University, wrote in an analysis of the TURKTRUST incident.
A CA (Certificate Authority) issues certificates, most of which are used for domain validation by web-browsers, email and applications. This allows you to make sure when you communicate with your bank (through a web browser or banking app on your phone) to verify the server of the bank is in fact the server of your bank. Or your email program really talks to the server of your email provider and not some intermediate that spoofs your mails.
If fraudulent certificates get issued for certain domains (sometimes specific like http://www.google.com, sometimes generic like *.yahoo.com, or *.*.com), then you cannot trust those domains any more, nor your communication with them. So communication with your bank could be intercepted and changed, thereby loosing money.
That’s exactly what happened in 2011 and late 2012:
The heart of the problem is twofold:
While a IETF proposal to log all intermediate and end-entity certificates tries to fix 1., make sure you fix 2. by keeping your systems patched.

If recent comments like below are flagged automagically as SPAM, then any political info will get auto-flagged as SPAM too (:
There are actually loads of details like that
to take into consideration. That may be a nice point to convey up.
I offer the thoughts above as common inspiration but clearly
there are questions just like the one you deliver up where an important factor will likely be
working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have
emerged around issues like that, but I am sure that your job is
clearly identified as a good game. Both boys and girls really feel the impact of
just a second’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives.

Is there anyone that has experience with the Your Online Choices | IAB site?
They seem to be able to turn off cookie tracking for selected advertisers.
I’m anxious to hear if this scam or not.
