Helaas bevat de web-pagina Parkeren Amsterdam – Gemeente Amsterdam maar een heel klein kaartje.
Een beetje door de HTML heen bladeren lijdt tot een full-page kaart met parkeertarieven op http://amsterdam-maps.bma-collective.com/embed/parkeren/tarieven/index_desktop.html.
Handig!

A while ago, i came across this interesting question: Are there optimal days/hours to post questions in order to get visibility and answers? – Meta Super User.
The recommended time 1400 UTC is related to my blog post scheduling behaviour.
Virtually all my blog posts are either (when both apply at the same time, that is pure coincidence):
I schedule posts on Monday through Friday:
So why the time difference of about 8 hours between 0600 UTC and 1400 UTC?
That has to do with the public I generally interact with: software developers speaking English, mainly living in European and USA, with a minority in India, Asia and down-under.

The point made by Simson Garfield below reminds me I haven’t been at IKEA for a long long while (:
Verdana was everywhere, and now it was in one more place. It was becoming a non-font that we don’t even register. Which is precisely why it was so effective, and exactly why it was chosen.

Today is a good day. I just had a call from a telemarketer. Did I yell and scream at them, you ask? Certainly not. Like a good IT administrator I put my skills to use for their benefit. Here’s how the conversation went.
Which ended with the phone of the Telemartketeer being factory reset.

Like a lens cap, lens hoods are also easy to misplace, loose or break.
For most DLSR lenses, there are Free printable cardboard lens hoods.
