Some notes on OKI memory modules and toner cartridges for MC342 / C332, as toner cartridges physically seem compatible, but are not
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/14
I thought the C332 had the same engine as the MC342, as internally the printing part looks identical.
Boy, I was wrong. Toner cartridges, though fitting physically, are not compatible, despite having the same image drum part 44968301.
So the MC342 and C332 have different toners that are physically so similar that they fit, but electronically different.
While searching, I found the C332 by default has 1 gigabyte of memory and no upgrade option, but the MC342 only has 256 megabyte of memory and can be upgraded with one 512 megabyte module to 768 megabyte. This improves printing performance considerably.
The memory module part number is 01182908, which is horrendously expensive despite it being a PC4200 DDR2 SO-DIMM, which means PC5300 and higher should also work.
Historically between EUR 100 and EUR 350 ([Wayback] Oki 01182908 – Prijzen – Tweakers) or GBP 250 ([WayBack] OKI 512MB RAM Memory Upgrade for B721, B731, B840, C321, C330, C530, C531, C610, C612, C711, C712, C822, C823, C831, C833, C841, C843, MC332, MC342, MC351, MC352, MC361, MC362, MC561, MC562 printers)

MC342 toner in C332 printer
As soon as you put a black MC342 toner in a C332 toner, you will get this error in the display: SERVICE CALL 231:ERROR 08 (see picture and [Wayback/Archive.is] oki service call 231 error 08 – Google Search)
This error only goes away when:
- you re-insert the original toner cartridge
- then power-down and power-up the printer
I could not find C332 specific information for this error, but similar models do have it (partially) listed (note the 08 error for the C332 means the black toner cartridge, not the cyan one):

Covid-19 herstelbewijs geldig van 12-180 dagen na je positieve PCR test verwerkt door GGD (Corona, SARS-CoV-2)
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/07
Ik had dus gemist dat in oktober 2021 de spelregels rondom een corona herstelbewijs.
De reden is dat de communicatie rondom corona in Nederland niet echt top is.
Het laatste voorbeeld: terwijl boosters voor iedereen van 18 jaar en ouder beschikbaar zijn en sommige vaccinatielocaties inmiddels weer vrije inloop hebben, hebben velen dat in mijn omgeving nog niet aangevraagd, want “ik heb nog geen uitnodiging ontvangen”, en/of “ik wist niet dat het al kon”. Anderen ervaren hetzelfde, dus dit soort berichten zijn belangrijk:
- [Archive] WheelieNick on Twitter: “Die communicatie over de booster moet ECHT beter, Mijn huishoudhulp is hier en vertelt ik heb nog geen booster want nog geen oproep gehad. Ik vertel dat ze op geboortejaar gewoon al mag en ze kijkt me echt verbaasd aan, echt?” / Twitter
- [Archive] Kirsten Verdel on Twitter: “Let op: veel mensen hebben VANDAAG pas hun boosteruitnodigingsbrief ontvangen, terwijl ze uit bijvoorbeeld 1948 of 1949 komen. Die jaren waren rond 10 dec (!) al aan de beurt voor een afspraak. WACHT NIET OP DE BRIEF: plan je afspraak op planjeprik.nl of bel 08007070.” / Twitter
- Boosteren: via [Wayback/Archive] planjeprik.nl of
Terug naar herstelbewijs: de meeste linkjes hieronder zijn namelijk niet van GGDGHOR, RIVM of Rijksoverheid.
De enige GGD website die de communicatie rondom herstelbewijs qua volledigheid en duidelijkheid op orde heeft is GGD zhz (Zuid-Holland Zuid). Complimenten!
Hier de linkjes (via [Wayback/Archive] herstelbewijs corona aanvragen – Google Search):
- [Wayback/Archive] GGD zhz – Herstelbewijs (1 pagina, heel concreet)
Herstelbewijs voor als u bij de GGD bent getest
Een herstelbewijs is een bewijs dat u ooit positief getest bent op aanwezigheid van het coronavirus. U vindt op de website van de Rijksoverheid alle eisen voor het aanmaken van een herstelbewijs.Bent u bij de GGD in Nederland positief getest op corona? Dan kunt u uw herstelbewijs in de CoronaCheck-app ophalen. Meer informatie over het ophalen van een herstelbewijs via CoronaCheck.
Herstelbewijs als u niet bij de GGD bent getest
Bent u niet bij de GGD getest en lukt het niet om een herstelbewijs op te halen? Dan kan het zijn dat uw persoonsgegevens niet juist aan de GGD zijn doorgegeven. Vul dan het volgende aanvraagformulier ”Aanvraagformulier corona herstelbewijs voor mensen die niet bij de GGD getest zijn”. - [Wayback/Archive] GGD zhz – QR-code met herstelbewijs nu ook als je niet bij de GGD getest bent
15 okt. 2021
Corona
Ben je positief getest op corona? En was dat niet bij de GGD? Dan kun je nu ook een QR-code op basis van een herstelbewijs ophalen in de CoronaCheck-app.
Elke testaanbieder in Nederland is, sinds we op 1 juni 2020 grootschaliger zijn gaan testen op Covid-19, verplicht om een positieve uitslag aan de GGD door te geven. Tot voor kort was het om technische redenen echter niet mogelijk om een QR-code op te halen als je niet bij de GGD getest was. Dat is het nu wel. De test moet wel tussen de 11 en 180 dagen geleden zijn afgenomen en de positieve uitslag moet op de juiste wijze, door de betrokken arts van de testaanbieder, aan de GGD zijn doorgegeven.

LIDL Radio Controlled Wall Clock IAN 100489 English manual
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/06
Model 100489-14-01 wall clock
Just in case I need it again.
The signal quality fluctuates during the day (it is a lot better at night when there is less inionisation in the atmosphere), and is worsened by concrete walls (like our home).
Best way to get prolonged reception is at night, on the top floor behind a window or outside.
The clock usually needs between 3 and 10 minutes to pick up the DCF77 signal from the transmitter.
Wall clock manual: [Wayback] 100489_EN.pdf of which this abstract:
DCF77 HD-1688 clock mechanism
Numbers:
- M.SET button
- Press and keep pressed the M.SET button 1 at least 3 seconds. The wall clock switches into manual mode.
- Press and keep pressed the M.SET button again until the hands reach the correct position for you to set the time.
- Briefly pressing the M.SET button moves the hands forward in one minute steps to enable you to set the current time manually.
Note: After 8 seconds without pressing the M.SET button, the wall clock switches out of manual mode and keeps the time as normal. The manually set value is overwritten as soon as reception of the DCF radio time signal is successful.- RESET button
- Press the RESET button 2 to reset the radio clock settings. Alternatively, remove the batteries from the device and insert them again.
- The product now automatically starts to search for the DCF radio time signal.
- REC button
- Press and keep pressed the REC button 3 at least 5 seconds. The wall clock attempts to receive the DCF radio time signal. This process takes a few minutes to complete.
- Battery compartment
- Battery type: 1 x 1.5 V ⎓ AA, LR6
More on the signal, transmitter and encoding: DCF77 – Wikipedia, where the below images are from:
DCF77 reception area from Mainflingen
DCF77 signal strength over a 24-hour period measured in Nerja, on the south coast of Spain 1,801 km (1,119 mi) from the transmitter. Around 1 AM it peaks at ≈ 100 µV/m signal strength. During the day, the signal is weakened by ionization of the ionosphere due to solar activity.
Another DCF77 clock I have: CSL Bearware 302658 DCF clock manual

Google calendar: add a yearly repeating event on the last/#th/first weekday of a month
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/01/05
TL;DR: recurrence in Google Calendar can be tough.
Adding a yearly repeating event on a last weekday (where weekday is any day of the week: sunday, monday, etc) of a month in Google Calendar was a lot less obvious than I hoped for.
The easiest path “Custom Event” by default does not show last/#th/first, only a fixed date when selecting yearly or monthly repeating events, which is contrary to the suggested answer at [Wayback/Archive.is] Google calendar question: How to set an event to repeat on the first Monday of a specific Month : google:
Create an event on September 3rd. Choose custom recurrence. Repeat every 12 months monthly on the first Monday. I just tested that out on the browser version of Google calendar
The trick is to first select a normally repeating monthly event on the last#th/first weekday day of a month.
Note that for the 5th week, you cannot do this in the Google Calendar UI as per [Wayback] google calendar – Schedule an event for last Sunday (or another day of week) of each month – Web Applications Stack Exchange:
If you actually want a day on the 5th week of every month (versus the last week), the Google Calendar UI does not support this, but you can do it by importing an .ics file
Below is an example while writing this: adding a yearly recurring event on the last Sunday of May (which in 2021 was Sunday the 30th of May).
These are the steps:
