Hamburger menu character on unicode: use U+2261 instead of U+2630
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/27
Not all fonts have Unicode character ☰ [WayBack] Unicode Character ‘TRIGRAM FOR HEAVEN’ (U+2630) as it is in a less common block.
More fonts have Unicode character ≡ [WayBack] Unicode Character ‘IDENTICAL TO’ (U+2261)
The latter is slightly shorter and slightly narrower than the former, but works in way more places.
Via [WayBack] html – Unicode ☰ hamburger not displaying in Android & Chrome – Stack Overflow
I’ve worked around this problem by using the UNICODE character UNICODE U+2261 (8801), ≡ IDENTICAL TO as illustrated below rather than the UNICODE U+2630 (9776) ☰ TRIGRAM FOR HEAVEN which

Richard P Feynman – FUN TO IMAGINE (full)
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/24
On my watch list: Richard P Feynman – FUN TO IMAGINE (full) – YouTube
The first 5 minutes are already so great and full of imagination, that I need to find time to watch it once more after already watching it 2 times in full with some time in-between to reflect.

Of Course Psychological Safety…But How? – John Cutler – Medium
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/23
Medium indicates it is an 8 minute tread, but since I’m more on the non-people side of the spectrum, digesting it will take quite some time needing multiple reeds.

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/22
Dit jaar is het corso als vanouds op 25 april. Volgend jaar rijden de praalwagens op 17 april. Afgesproken is wel dat het evenement nooit tijdens Pasen zal worden georganiseerd.

How to change the control of a Somfy RTS roller blind from 2 to 1 remote – Projectionscreen.net
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/20
This procedure works for Somfy RTS motors to:
- removing an additional channel
- removing an additional remote
The trick is to have one remote/channel that you want to keep working as you need that one to initiate the deletion process:
- On the channel/remote you want to delete
- Test with the up/down button that it is indeed the one you want to delete
- On the channel/remote you want to keep
- Test with up/down button
- The Somfy RTS motor show now work
- Press the small button with a pen
- The Somfy RTS motor now should “wiggle”
- Test with up/down button
- On the channel/remote you want to delete
- Press the small button with a pen
- The Somfy RTS motor now should “wiggle” again
- Test with up/down button
- The somfy RTS motor should now do nothing
- Press the small button with a pen
- On the channel/remote you want to keep
- Test with up/down button
- The Somfy RTS motor show still work
- Test with up/down button

Waze “Isolated segment – all turns from it are closed” – Google Search
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/17
A blog entry since it was hard to find about [WayBack] “Isolated segment – all turns from it are closed” – Google Search as the source reveals not much: no explanation at [WayBack] wme-history/index.html at master · wazers/wme-history · GitHub (A repository containing the pretty-printed index and JavaScript files of the WME to investigate version differences – wazers/wme-history).
Same for [WayBack] “Added big junction” waze – Google Search and [WayBack] wme-history/index.html at master · wazers/wme-history · GitHub
Note that updates you make to the map can take a while to update to the actual live map (even after approval).
You can check at [WayBack] Waze Status for the latest updates.

Famous Songs in Slightly Odd Time Signatures – A Guide to Rhythms – The Evil Jam
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/17
Time signatures, a musicians best friend if used wisely. Time signatures when used correctly can add other dimensions to a song, a feeling of awkwardness, incompleteness, shuffling dancing, rushing…
That’s the start of [WayBack] Famous Songs in Slightly Odd Time Signatures – A Guide to Rhythms – The Evil Jam.
It has links to the tracks mentioned (usually as YouTube or Vimeo links) so it is easy to listen back to the marvels using these time signatures.

CSL Bearware 302658 DCF clock manual
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/13
The manual for the CSL Bearware 302658 clock that uses the DCF77 signal is at [WayBack] Bearware_Manual-302658-20161220FZ004.pdf.
I like the relatively large 3.3 inch display and the blue background.
You can get the clock here:
- [WayBack] Bearware – Digital alarm clock with temperature display | DCF radio-controlled alarm clock / travel alarm | 3.3″ LCD display with blue LED backlight | Snooze function | Indoor | Date and day of the week display: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home
- [WayBack] AmazonSmile: CSL – Funkwecker digital mit Temperaturanzeige | DCF-Funkuhr / Reisewecker | 3, 3″

New-Age Bullshit Generator and other “sources” of New Age
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/01/13
We are in the midst of a cosmic flowering of synchronicity that will remove the barriers to the dreamscape itself.
If you want/need/hate some of this New-Age stuff, then use either of these sources:
- [WayBack] New-Age Bullshit Generator
- [WayBack] The latest Tweets from Deep Thought Bot (@nabgbot). World’s greatest #DeepThinker, seer, soothsayer, and spiritualist. Tweet @nabgbot for Words of Wisdom. Brought into the world by @charltontrez. The Internet
- [WayBack] Random Deepak Chopra Quote Generator – Wisdom of Chopra
- [WayBack] On the New Age Bullshit Generator and parodying woo: I made a thing as a fun side-project and it blew up on the Internet.
- [WayBack] GitHub – sebpearce/bullshit: Generates New Age nonsense on the fly
To quote the first:
So, what is this for? Put it on your website as placeholder text. Print it out as a speech for your yoga class and see if anyone can guess a computer wrote it. Use it to write the hottest new bestseller in the self-help section, or give false hope to depressed friends and family members.
