30+ years of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines from 1985 (and earlier Lisa / Apple II equivalents)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/25

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).

bash alias to decode email Quoted-Printable stdin data

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/25

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($_)'
}

Kanovaartochten langs Lisse en Sassenheim

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/24

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 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:

mutool: all purpose tool for dealing with PDF files | mupdf Commands | Man Pages | ManKier

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/23

Sometimes I feel like having lived under a rock for ages despite trying to live the command-line life as much as possible.

Anyway: not that long ago I learned about [Wayback/Archive] mutool: all purpose tool for dealing with PDF files | mupdf Commands | Man Pages | ManKier

It is part of [Wayback/Archive] Package mupdf – man pages | ManKier which also has [Wayback/Archive] mupdf: MuPDF is a lightweight PDF viewer written in portable C | mupdf Commands | Man Pages | ManKier.

MuPDF – a kind of sibling to GhostScript – lives at [Wayback/Archive] MuPDF: The ultimate library for managing PDF documents.

The below query got me to [Wayback/Archive] mupdf/docs/man/mutool.1 at master · ccxvii/mupdf · GitHub in the “wrong” repository [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – ccxvii/mupdf: mirrored from git://git.ghostscript.com/mupdf.git

The actual repositories are at:

433 MHz is not dead! Using an ESP32 board with LoRa module to talk to 433 MHz sensors – CNX Software

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/23

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.
