Adreswijziging belastingdienst voor bewindvoering natuurlijk persoon (beschermingsbewind)
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/20
De belastingdienst noemt de bewindvoering van een natuurlijk persoon op een natuurlijk persoon beschermingsbewind.
Dat was initieel een beetje verwarrend (omdat je de uitleg van die term nergens op de site van de belastingdienst kunt terugvinden), maar daardoor werd wel duidelijk wat het juiste formulier is om in te sturen:
[Wayback] www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontentnl/themaoverstijgend/programmas_en_formulieren/aanmelden_wijzigen_of_beeindigen_beschermingsbewind
Insturen kon per e-mail: reuze handig!

Pokestop not turning purple in Pokemon go
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/16
Found the cause of Pokemon stops not turning purple via [WayBack] Has anyone else had issues with lures/incense not attracting pokemon? : pokemongo: phone was set on manual time (which was correct), and had time zone wrong for the current GPS location.
Now Pokeomon go gets confused, so does not want to guess the state of the Pokestop.

Using both Google Fi and Google Voice means you need to use two Google accounts on the same phone
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/13
A while ago at [WayBack] The only bad thing about getting Google Fi is giving up Google Voice — Mike Elgan wrote
You can use Google Voice or you can use Google Fi, but you can’t use both. I just bought a Google Pixel 3 in order to move off AT&T and onto Google Fi fulltime. (We used to use Google Fi using my wife’s account, but only as a WiFi hotspot while traveling abroad.) It’s kind of a bummer, b
But the first comment has a solution that works, if you use two Google accounts that is:
I have Fi and use Google Voice on the same phone. I have to sign in to Voice with a separate Google account so there are some compromises but it works for how I use it.

Me starting to understand the real life meanings of Shim
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/12
The combination of being partially word blind and having learned English initially from my urge to understand computing books during my (Dutch) secondary education in the mid 1980s, I often have a gap between understanding “daily life” or “real life” English words, especially when they also have a meaning in the computing world.
So it took me a while to get the non-computing meaning of shim.
In computing, shim is used as word for tiny shell that separates two layers, which means my original association was with “sphere”.
Had I associated with an adapter or something that puts space between to layers, it would have been much easier to understand the “real life” meaning of a spacer shim.
Similarly, I had trouble understanding washer (which I associated with washing, and is right: it often means washing machine, but can also mean dish washer, which is an odd word for me as it washes much more than dishes). It took me much longer to get there is an additional meaning for a mechanical construction washer, which is a thin disc (so not a tube-like ring) often used as spacers, so in a sense similar to a shim.
In Dutch, I have the same problem with “wasmachine” (English washing machine) and “afwasmachine” (Dish washer).
To add to the confusion, hardware washers in Dutch are called rings.

How to quickly add hours/minutes/second to date and time in Excel?
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/11
Excel date times are almost identical to OLE/COM automation date times (that used in many Windows applications).
Which means that dates are 1 unit apart, and:
- Weeks = 7
- Days = 1
- Hours = 1/24
- Minutes = 1/(24*60) or 1/1440
- Seconds = 1/(24*60*60) or 1/86400
That way you can easily add one hour to a date/time value by adding 1/24.

JSON to tabular format via JSONformatter.org and JSON2table.com
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/10
Two interesting sites to ease transforming JSON fragments in log-messages to a table system, for instance Excel.
- Paste the bits in [WayBack] Best JSON Pretty Print Online then fix any syntax errors.
- Copy from there to [WayBack] json2table.com and press the triangle button (run)
- Copy either the tabular or tree result to your favourite program.
- Format any numbers for readability. I really like the
Customformat##0.00E+00that just shows the exponents in multiples of 3 (so kilo, mega, giga, etc)[WayBack] formatting – How can I format bytes a cell in Excel as KB, MB, GB etc? – Stack Overflow
This way I copied the example code into adjecent Excel areas, so I could compare the values and calculate memory increase of a Delphi application.

Bootable virus scanners supporting ntfs
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/11/09
I was looking for a bootable virus scanner supporting NTFS. Kaspersky was the first one I found, and it worked well.
Back then, these were the output locations:
- https://rescuedisk.s.kaspersky-labs.com/updatable/2018/krd.iso
- http://rescuedisk.kaspersky-labs.com/rescuedisk/updatable/2018/krd.iso
The HTTP link can be convenient for locations that do not support TLS (cough, VMware ESXi wget, cough), which are OK if you calculate the sha256 hash from the TLS link first.
Likely there is a 2020 version by now.
I got the links via:
- [WayBack] Kaspersky Rescue Disk 18
- [WayBack] Boot ISO image with Kaspersky antivirus via Grub – Super User
- [WayBack] 3 Best Free Bootable Antivirus Rescue Disk Tools For Windows | geekOmad – Technology Blog
- [WayBack] Boot Kaspersky Rescue Disk 2018 ISO from Grub2 and Grub4dos
- [WayBack] Bootable Antivirus
I might try BitDefender later.
