Revisited: Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27

I put the proper Bookmarklet wrapper around the functions from Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link (because especially Firefox needs them):

An immediately invoked function that returns no value or an expression preceded by the void operator will prevent the browser from attempting to parse the result of the evaluation as a snippet of HTML markup:

javascript:(function(){
  //Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();

It means they now have become these:

  • Archive.is: navigate canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();

  • Archive.is: prompt canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){prompt("Anchor",document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href)})();

Belastingaangifte 2023 met Excel gratis downloaden | Computer Idee

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27

Dit jaar was ik er een paar dagen eerder bij dan vorig jaar: meer rust in mijn hoofd na de verhuizing en een betere planning gemaakt rondom de paardrijvakantie van mijn verstandelijk beperkte broer (waar we altijd zorgen daar in de buurt te zijn zodat we indien nodig snel ter plaatse kunnen handelen).

Waarom is deze blog post zo laat?

Het laat heeft er vooral mee te maken dat deze Excel sheet meestal nog een aantal wijzigingen krijgt na de normale deadline van 1 mei. Dus ik begin pas met downloaden de maand voor de echt harde deadline van 1 september.

Waarom dan toch nu de post?

Eigenlijk is dat heel simpel: vooral zodat je kunt zien hoe je aan deze informatie komt ook al wijzigen de locaties: waar vorig jaar het Excel-bestand voor de belastingaangifte nog bij Google stond, staat het deze keer bij WeTransfer.

Dit jaar zijn de linkjes her en der dus behoorlijk anders: meer dan een simpele vervanging van 2022 door 2023 in de start-link van de eerste Google Search onderaan mijn blog-post.

Let ook op (dit vergat ik vorig jaar te vermelden): dit Excel bestand werkt bij mij niet op Office voor MacOS.

Omdat Computer Idee meestal geen jaartallen in de titels van hun artikelen gebruikt, moet je handmatig de zoekresultaten van Google Search door om te zien welke relevant voor aangifte over afgelopen jaar (in dit geval 2023) is/zijn. Vandaar dat ik hieronder op een aantal plekken jaartellen heb toegevoegd:

I need to contemplate about (not) using standards Commit Messages and Commit Emojis

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27

These Tweets from Kris are food for thought about using standards for Commit Messages and Commit Emojis.

It is the “writing zzzz by convention” mantra all over the place (where zzzz can be anything from code to documentation): does it add value, should it be formalised, can it by achieved by other means?

I need to think about it later, so I saved his tweets below:

With the ever increasing heatwaves all around the world: important PDF. Print it. Have it with you. Even better: read it before and prepare! “Heat Illness Prevention Pocket Guide Approved for public release, distribution unlimited TA-010-JAN20” @Walrathis

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/26

This is a reminder of a tweet I posted two years back: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “With the current heatwaves all around the world: important PDF. Print it. Have it with you. Even better: read it before and prepare! “Heat Illness Prevention Pocket Guide Approved for public release, distribution unlimited TA-010-JAN20”  CC @Walrathis”

Climate change makes the weather expres happen more often and more prominently.

This means in the summer more heat waves.

Be prepared, so download and print this booklet: [Wayback] 54_HIP Pocket Guide.pdf titled “Heat Illness Prevention Pocket Guide Approved for public release, distribution unlimited TA-010-JAN20”.

It is from the USA army. They know this shit well.

I got the link from [Wayback/Archive] ReverseSlope on Twitter: “@jpluimers @J_Green_505 @GameOverMike @MDArcheologist @KristeninAlmo @diggingellen @OSHA This is a good summation. …”

Via [Wayback/Archive] Either Ellen or Dr. Chapman on Twitter: “Kaylen Gehrke, a 24 year old archaeologist on her first day on the job, died of a heat related medical emergency in Louisiana yesterday. Thinking back to past heat illness of myself and others and the varying responses from supervisors. So sorry for her, her family, and friends.”

20240511 – 20240512 – Noorderlicht – Northern Light – Aurora Borealis – Google Photos

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/23

At ages 55 and 53, this was the first time ever we saw the Northern Light [Wayback/Archive] 20240511 – 20240512 – Noorderlicht – Northern Light – Aurora Borealis – Google Photos.

It was a quiet night right after the R171 of the better half broke after I had been using it. We were both frustrated and vented of by driving to the coast in my car with no expectations seeing the Northern Light. Oh, how wrong we were. It was great in real life and even better on camera.

All photos were taken by hand with my smartphone (OnePlus Nord2 5G) at Nederzandt Beach which is both a 15 minute drive from the broken down car and 15 minutes from our home.

I like the ones below the signature most.

In the same weekend, I got pointed to this [Wayback/Archive] “Colors of Aurora” Poster for Sale by Leo the Alien | Redbubble from his [Wayback/Archive] alienyrox shop | Redbubble.

Is the world still homogenising towards anonymous pile of monotony?

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/23

A few years back there was a great thread on Twitter starting with [Wayback/Archive] David Perell on Twitter: “What’s causing all these logos to look the same?”

The trend wasn’t just about logos. Architecture was looking more and more the same too and society at large was affected as well.

I wonder if by now the trend has changed.
