More than 2 years ago, I wrote about InfoCom adventures before, and recently noticed that since then a Zork map I saw like 30 years ago is now online in a digital scanned version.
Cool!
Thanks David Caldwell for putting it online.
Zork user group ad (thanks Apple2History.org). Click to enlarge.
I didn’t know there even was a Zork User group (:

Onderstaand een aantal links hoe de diverse kenmerken en nummers van de belastingdienst zijn opgebouwd.
Ooit maak ik daar een leuk stukje software voor (:
Op aanslagen en aangiftes van de belastingdienst zijn vaak codes te vinden, deze codes geven informatie over het soort aanslag en de periode van de aangifte of aanslag.

About 9 months ago, Chris Parnin – a student on the empirical, hci, and cognitive neuroscience aspects of software development – wrote a great blog entry named Programmer Interrupted.
He writes a ton of information about the how, why and effects of interruptions, which not only affects programmers, but any power user or life hacker. His article has a great number of links to insightful articles with background information (one of the first, Maker’s Schedule, Manager’s Schedule, helped me so much to explain my planning to other people).
I set aside a couple of hours to read and grasp some of it, and plan to read the content links he refers in more detail.
Recommended reading!

Afgelopen weekeinde waren we met een groep kanovaren rondom Lisse/Sassenheim. We hadden lunch aan de rand van een stukje akker waar we relatief makkelijk uit de kano’s konden komen.
Een soort landelijke picknick in de zon: altijd leuk om te doen.
Maandagavond werd ik door 1 van de deelnemers gebeld: hij had een enorme rode jeukende vlek op zijn arm met allemaal blaren, en dacht dat hij brandnetels geraakt had.
Die stonden er niet, bovendien gaat het na aanraking van brandnetels meteen branden en deze plek was pakweg een dag later gekomen. Dus het moest iets anders zijn, maar wat?
Hij is ermee naar de huisarts geweest die tot de conclusie kwam: aanraking van Berenklauw in combinatie met blootstelling aan zonlicht. Dat veroorzaakt namelijk Fytofotodermatitis door Fototoxiciteit, en kan bij veel mensen enorme brandplekken geven. Read the rest of this entry »

Earlier this week, I already tweeted that Douglas Engelbart passed away:
RIP Doug Engelbart. Inventor of many computer things we now take for granted: Mouse, GUI, hypertext, etc. http://gigaom.com/2013/07/03/doug-engelbart-american-inventor-computing-legend-passes-away/ …
XKCD published a comic – numbered 1234: coincidence? – about it that includes some a bit of pun about the importance of inventions (see 1234: Douglas Engelbart (1925-2013) – explain xkcd).
The first slide refers to the Mother of all Demos (coined in 1994, the original was just called The Demo, and you can view it here).
The others make a bit of pun, on what part of his inventions were used for.
All in all, an important figure that has inspired many people and events passed away. Read the rest of this entry »

Once every while you come across a post that is so good, you add another feed to your RSS list. This time I added Su-Shee’s posts,
Quote from: A constant source of confusion: Simplicity.
what is it really about all this simplicity stuff
It is a post about IT development. Teams. Platforms. Tools. Frameworks. Etc.
Striking a balance to keep things simple enough to be manageable is always key and her examples are just great!
