CSV To HTML Converter

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/04

While blogging, online tools often beat offline or command-line tools, so here there are:

They use JavaScript and do client-side conversion.

There are way more conversion targets (Delimited, Flat File, GeoJSON, HTML Table, JSON, KML, Markdown, Multi-line Data, PDF, SQL, Word, XML, YAML) and operations (Pivot, Transpose, Query with SQL), but the above are what I use most.

Interessante video over alternatieven voor een reguliere inlaatcombinatie voor CV ketels: [Wayback/Archive] Waarom ik geen standaard inlaatcombinatie plaats.. deze werken na een paar jaar niet meer goed..🤔 – YouTube

De inlaatcombinatie is 3 apparaten in 1.. een afsluiter, overdrukventiel en keerklep die voorkomt dat er warmwater terug kan lopen naar de koudwaterleiding. Ik plaats altijd een losse kogelafsluiter met controleerbare keerklep, daarnaast plaats ik een losse overstort van 6 bar..

nixCraft 🐧: “I’ve got some news about office environments.…” – Mastodon

Are remote workers really working all day? No. Here’s what they’re doing instead. USA TODAY by Jessica Guynn in USA Today website

Useful thread about remote, remote-first and in-office experiences starting with [Wayback/Archive] nixCraft 🐧: “I’ve got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late.…” – Mastodon

I’ve got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late. People walk around, take lunch or bathroom breaks, attend meetings, etc. Office or Home people will walk around. Stop writing stupid stories to promote back-to-office culture and risk everyone’s health.

Read the responses for more experience.

And don’t feel bad when you slack when working remote: within boundaries, that is OK.
