I hope someone has also archived all these in the Internet Archive as this is a great collection of historic material: [WaybackSave/Archive] GitHub – gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guidelines: Apple Human Interface Guidelines, et al.
If you have more of them: add them via a pull-request.

A client that went belly up in the early 1990s had all these and similar books. In retrospect, I though have found a way to obtain them but back then I didn’t value the uniqueness of them enough and didn’t have the storage space for it (I lived in a 30m² apartment).

Perl isn’t my strength, so I was glad to find the below links that inspired me to add this bash function to my profile decoding Quote-Printable email data (for instance used by sendmail and postfix to store SMTP message files):
# https://superuser.com/questions/1452249/fix-revert-wrong-encoding-of-file
function sendmail-decode-quoted-printable-from-stdin() {
perl -0777 -ne 'use MIME::QuotedPrint; print decode_qp($_)'
}

Wat verderop kanoroutes met her en der met genummerde stappen rondom Lisse en Sassenheim.
Maar eerst wat linkjes die helpen gegevens over obstructies en hoogtes van bruggen te vinden:
-
- De Kanovereniging Lisse houdt een lijst van stremmingen bij: [Wayback/Archive] KVL-stremmingen

Stremming van de Ringsloot in Lisse
- [Wayback/Archive] Kano Vereniging Lisse
!!!! De Ringsloot is gestremd !!!!!!
Via het Havenkanaal (Grevelingen) na 2,7 km stremming,
Mallegat en route richting De Kaag NIET bereikbaar.
K = Kanovereniging Lisse
S = Stremming
[Wayback/Archive] ringsloot.jpg (446×419)
Dit stond vanaf juli 2025 op de site. Hopelijk is de stremming inmiddels voorbij. Zo niet, dan zie je rechts waar die is, en verderop welke routes dan allemaal niet mogelijk zijn zonder kano’s met de hand van sloot naar sloot te verplaatsen.
De site linkt naar een vanuit het Fins vertaalde site voor kanotechnieken, maar de echte vertalingen staan nog steeds in de Wayback Machine (dus de [Wayback] linkjes hieronder doen het):
Vertaalde links teruggevonden via deze gearchiveerde pagina uit 2008: [Wayback/Archive] KayakPaddling.net – Animated Sea Kayak Paddling School & Instruction
De Kanovereniging Lisse verhuurt geen kano, maar via [Wayback/Archive] Kanoën tussen de bollenvelden in Lisse en Hillegom – Travel Blondie NL bedacht ik me dat er meerdere verhuurmogelijkheden zijn, waaronder:

This was a cool post: [Wayback/Archive] 433 MHz is not dead! Using an ESP32 board with LoRa module to talk to 433 MHz sensors – CNX Software
433MHz LoRa Transceiver-based ESP32 board work with regular 433 MHz sensors found on the market. This gives end users a simple off-the-shelf solution for receiving these signals without having to use a soldering iron and making a circuit.
…
This opens many doors regarding 433 MHz sensor readings with one device, including weather stations, doors, PIR, TPMS, temperature, and BBQ sensors.
Recommended reading!
