German’s use the word “halt” very often, but I never fully understood when and why.
I had a kind of feeling (that’s how I learned speaking German as a kid anyway: we stayed in Germany often, they did not speak Dutch, so it was about the only way to start communicating).
So last year, I asked one of my friends Kristian Köhntopp, see the Tweets further below.
In summary, “halt” is a modal particle, so not like Kristian suggested an interjection (German: interjektion).
This also explains why I had trouble understanding them, as modal particles are only used in a limited number of languages (not English), indicate either a mode or filler, and ofen “the translation is often not straightforward and depends on the context”.
Fillers are used in more languages than modal particles; English contains many (like uh, you know, right, actually) and easier to get right than non-filler modal particles.

[Archive] Kirsten Verdel on Twitter: “LET OP: de GGD is bezig om het telefoonnummer voor boosterafspraken zoveel mogelijk van internet te verwijderen. Meerdere mensen is zelfs gevraagd hoe ze aan het nummer kwamen (staat in de brief…..). Afijn: het is dus nog steeds 0800-7070.” / Twitter

A while ago I learned that the English word siblings translates into the German word Geschiwster.
Before that, I thought Geschwister was synonym to Schwester; long story at [Archive.is] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “Dat lukt heel behoorlijk. Over Duits: heeft dar een woord voor ‘sibblings’? In het Nederlands kom je dan af en toe “brussen” tegen. Hoe zit dat in het Duits?… “.
There is Dutch word that comes close “brussen” which:
- has no wide spread use,
- does mean brothers and sisters (broers en zussen),
- but in the context of one or more sibblings that have one sibbling with special needs.
In a time where gender has become less important, privacy more important, I think it is time to put more emphasis on the neutral use of “brussen”.

I always forget that, when moving a folder, instead of finding all references to that folder and fixing them, you can create an NTFS symlink from the old location to the new one.
[Wayback] how to move MSOCACHE folder from C-drive to D-drive ?? – Microsoft Community (thanks [Wayback] tgunda numbering and casing updates mine):
There are too much entries in the registry to correct them manually one by one.
An easier and quicker solution is to copy the full MSOCache folder to a new place and to make a soft link to it:
- Create a new folder, e.g.
F:\MSOCache
- Copy everything from
C:\MSOCache to the new one.
- Rename the old folder
C:\xMSOCache (Don’t delete it, just in case).
- Open a command prompt window in administrator mode.
- Write:
mklink /d c:\MSOCache f:\MSOCache
Now there is an MSOCache link at C, pointing to the new place.
If everything is OK, you can delete C:\xMSOCache
This can be very handy when moving around large software development installations, circumventing a full uninstall/install sequence loosing lots of configuration settings.

In case something you want to arrange in the on-line Rabobank portal fails, you can call their web-care team:
[Archive.is] Rabobank on Twitter: “Hi Jeroen, jammer dat het online niet lukt. Ik adviseer om te bellen met mijn collega’s op 088 722 67 67. Fijne dag 🍀 ^Liesbeth… “
In my case as custodian, it was impossible to on-line change the bank statements from paper to digital, even after following [WayBack] Wijzigen of stoppen ontvangst rekeningafschriften – Rabobank.
The on-line team changed it for me in a matter of minutes.

It has been a while after my last post about me having cancer. No, I am not giving up. But I am having the regular fear of the upcoming checks: did the metastases return, or do I have the luck to outlive some 30% of my peer group.
The last metastases surgery has been slightly more than a year ago. A year from now, that percentage hopefully will be 50% and slowly increase over time until about 90% in some 9 years from now.
At year’s end, I will know for sure.
Below are some links on, mostly Dutch but with English abstract, articles about the mental side of having cancer, or having survived it for now.

Luckily I only had two posts using Threader, as I today learned that it is dying really soon now, as per [Wayback/Archive] Threader – Good Twitter threads every day (emphasis and archival links mine):
As part of this acquisition, we’ll be shutting Threader down on December 15, 2021.
…
We’ve [Wayback/Archive] recently built a similar reading experience at Twitter, which is now available as part of [Wayback/Archive] Twitter Blue.
…
All of our users will be able to export their bookmarks from their settings in our iOS and web apps. Make sure to also download your PDF archives if you’d like to keep them.
Twitter Blue is paid and only available in very few countries and is part of Twitter, so quite useless for archival.
The alternatives [Archive] @ThreadReaderApp, [Archive] @WayBackMachine and [Archive] @ArchiveIs for the win (:
Bye bye [Archive] Threader (previously [Archive] @Threader_app), it was fun while it lasted.
