Fazit:
You’ll probably want a standard OS for day to day tasks, and only use Tails if you really need to remain anonymous.

Need to draw an ASCII diagram? ASCIIFlow is awesome:… (via: Ilya Grigorik – Google+)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/09
ASCIIFlow.com: Brilliant!
And from the comments PlantUML which generates UML diagrams from text, of which the sequence diagrams can also be generated as ASCII (the others only as images).
Finally there is ditaa which goes from ASCII diagrams to images. The complete circle is done (:

Traffic (public, car) sites I watched during the #NSS2014: not many congestions yet
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/25
And for future big events, here are some sites to watch to see Dutch traffic congestion:
- Actuele spoorkaart | NS (too bad something happened so they had to close the track between Haarlem and Beverwijk until 20140339).
- VID | NSS 2014 | Live (very much up to date, but only for this event).
- TomTom Live Traffic (they aren’t very up-to-date with the road closures).

USB Typewriter — Classic Typewriters for the Digital Age (for mechanical typewriters, not electrical ones)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/19
Nicely done: the USB Typewriter — Classic Typewriters for the Digital Age, as they can do almost all keys a PC keyboard can do see the USB Typewriter — FAQ using a mechanical (not electrical!) typewriter.
Basically the opposite of the IBM Selectric Computer Terminal, the Daisy wheel printing, the IBM 1050 system, and the IBM 2741 Console.
Note the kits (there are both soldering and non-soldering versions) are mostly aimed at models that once were popular in the USA, so for manufacturers like Adler there are no guidelines (but the existing guidelines for soldering and for non-soldering probably work fine).
