Digital accessibility is hard; Wayback archival of: Formulieren – CIZ

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/17

I know that digital accessibility does not come for free, but it is mandatory in Europe for at least documents and web-sites provided by government and semi-government as per [Wayback] EN 301 549 – Wikipedia

EN 301 549 is a European standard for digital accessibility. It specifies requirements for information and communications technology to be accessible for people with disabilities.

I bumped into numerous tab-order issues when filling out CIZ forms. This makes it way harder for my, as now I require a mouse despite having RSI symptoms for some 30+ years.

So, for my link archive so I can document that all these forms have severe tab-order issues (some fields are not even accessible by keyboard, are being emptied when you leave the field, or not even accessible by mouse): [Wayback] Formulieren – CIZ

Doet u een aanvraag bij het CIZ? Op deze pagina vindt u een overzicht van onze formulieren, zoals een machtigingsformulier en het Wlz-aanvraagformulier.

Hopefully by now the forms have been fixed.

Boomer screenshots: wondering why Windows still has no keyboard shortcut for saving a screenshot or screen snippet to disk

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/14

With the disappearing PrtScn buttons on modern keyboards, boomer screenshots are about the only way to easily persist a screenshot, as these are the only available Windows screenshot shortcuts:

  • PrtScn: copies full screenshot to the clipboard; multiple invocations overwrite the clipboard
  • Windows + PrtScn: saves full screenshot to a file; multiple invocations saves to new files
  • Windows + Shift + S: copies full screen or part of the screen to the clipboard, and allows manual action to start snippet tool to save the clipboard contents; often looses the image when on remote desktop connections or when copying something else to the clipboard; multiple invocations overwrite the clipboard

Now look at macOS what a choices, and how less messy than on Windows:

macOS has various shortcuts to save (partial) screenshots to clipboard or file

macOS has various shortcuts to save (partial) screenshots to clipboard or file

For macOS 10.14 Mojave and newer, you can even set the folder (default: Desktop) to save the screenshots to:

I want this ease in Windows as well, and maybe I can in part without installing external tools and modifying existing shortcuts to make things easier:

Productivity is about focus, which is hard, so setting up your life can help a lot

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/03/07

Thanks Twitter!:

I use a single 4K monitor for this, and either different full-screen workspaces or remote desktop/screen/logon sessions per job.

My phone is always on vibrate, and sometimes in a different room.

I read e-mail usually once every few days, and try to do social media and chat outside my concentration sessions.

I try to concentrate on once thing at a time without getting distracted.

“access to your banking” in mijn ING is named differently from this phrase both in English and Dutch

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/25

The target URL is this one: https://mijn.ing.nl/banking/settings/security and titled as such in:

  • English: “Access to your banking”
  • Dutch: “Toegang tot je bankzaken”

The page title “Access to your banking” is not to be found when you search on the Mijn ING site no matter if you configured Engish or Dutch as your Mijn ING language.

[Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Waar zit in de My ING omgeving van @ingnl “access to your banking”? Ook met de site in het Engels kan ik het niet terugvinden, maar 1 van de apps heeft het wel nodig.… https://t.co/GU3TXwMbjf”

Raamwerk ECD portal links

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/21

For my link archive:

Notes:

Baffled:

I basically got baffled by the (for me distracting) way the images and icons were situated on the “Cliëntportaal” page: it forced me to the more easily to grasp menu on the right, access the “Aanmelden” page, which had the wrong link.

The (non-blue, and unlike the other red links, non-red) “Log hier in bij het Cliëntportaal” link above the distracting images actually had the correct link to hetraamwerk-ecd.fierit.nl/WebCSS/Home/Login.
