Wanneer je TomTom XXL niet reageert op “Ga door”
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/27
Af en toe (met name als de batterij bijna leeg geweest is) heeft mijn TomTom XXL een probleem dat deze niet meer reageert op de “Ga door” knop in het scherm met de gegevens van de eigenaar.
Dit lost het op en meestal ben ik dan niet eens de tijdzone kwijt:
Probeer het navigatie systeem te resetten (30 sec. de “aan/uit” knop induwen). Het enige aan gegevens die u kwijt bent, is de tijdszone instelling en de klok.
Source: [WayBack] Meest voorkomende problemen TomTom – TomTom Update
De TomTom XXL gebruik ik nog steeds af en toe: ooit gekocht in de USA had het “World Life-time Map-upgrades”. Dat bleek alleen voor de eerste kaart te zijn die ik had gedownload (USA dus) maar de updates komen nog steeds uit.

Workaround formulier inschrijven verhuizing naar Gemeente Leiden (@GemeenteLeiden en hun IT weten het al)
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/25
Het formulier https://www.e-inwoner.nl/prod/fr/Leiden/Verhuizing_doorgeven/new.digid is een klein beetje stuk, maar gelukkig is er een workaround.
Eerst het probleem
Alle knoppen “Volgende” verversen alleen de linkerkant van het formulier, maar niet de invoervelden.
Dit zie je al bij de eerste stap als je bij “Inleiding” gelikt hebt op “Volgende”: links kom je op “Contactgegevens”, maar de invoervelden laten dat niet zien.
Workaround

The last thing you need to do when you cause link rot is to list the page as “online banking is down”
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/10
Nice example on how not to copy with link rot: as a bank is to indicate “internet banking is unavailable” scares your customers away.
[WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “dit heet overigens link rot, en gebruiksvriendelijke sites proberen dat te voorkomen; is zeker niet gecompliceerd en eigenlijk ook niet complex: het is een kleine moeite om dat in je ontwerp en onderhoud-proces mee te nemen. 1/2 …
[WayBack] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “de huidige down-melding zet sowieso je klanten volledig op het verkeerde been, dus daar moet zeker iets aan gebeuren. 2/2 “I.v.m. een storing kunt u geen gebruik maken van Internet Bankieren. Internet Banking is unavailable”…”

5 Minutes Early Is On Time; On Time Is Late; Late Is Unacceptable
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/02/21
I agree with this, but used to be very bad at it: [WayBack] 5 Minutes Early Is On Time; On Time Is Late; Late Is Unacceptable
Being late is unacceptable. While that sounds harsh, it’s the truth and something that should be said more often. I don’t care whether you’re attending a dinner party, a conference call, or a coffee meeting — your punctuality says a lot about you.
A few things that helped me:
- only attend things that are really important
- reserve way enough time for travel and preparation
It’s still not perfect, but they help me things I had a hard time coping with:
- planning way too much in a day (hence the only really important stuff)
- making far to optimistic estimates for travel and preparation (now I do my estimate times 2 or better: 3)
