Tonight: playing Rolling Heights. Fun game, but too long to my liking and a bit too much luck involved. #boardgames

Ach, wat is #Magister toch een onschuldig bedrijf en wat wordt het een onrecht aangedaan door al die nare scholen en ouders!. Ondertussen hanteren ze dezelfde taktiek als wapenfabrikanten: "onze wapens doden geen mensen, maar de mensen die ze gebruiken!"

Waiting for the ICE, which is delayed. Again. So I sent out a drone to inspect the tracks, and this is what it discovered:

All those automated Christmas greetings from companies you did business with over the past years were already awful, of course. And now they're generated with AI too. How pathetic.

I know we shouldn't use <table> for tables on the screen, but I'm not sure if this 2025 solution nowadays is actually so much cleaner?

So I guess now we’re all just waiting for the Nobel Committee to announce their Footballer of the Year award. apnews.com/article/trum...

Opinion on AI found on LinkedIn: "We're at the brink of an explosion of the most useless bubble of all time. After the the Railway Bubble, at least people still have railways. Here, we have only useless data centers with outdated hardware." Somehow, I feel this has some truth in it.

20 years ago (yes, in 2005), the last Windows 3.1 computer was located: www.ticalc.org/archives/new...

This is a message from MS Word (Mac). Me, being the half dyslectic idiot, originally read the sentence as "Checking for changes to your life" and was wondering what Word was supposed to do with my life...

Black Friday in Nederland: "Scoor nu blek fraaidee diels! In de epp!" Manmanman.

Oh please! Is there ANYONE who asked this? Do you know anyone?

Gelukkig zit er een sticker op, anders was het me niet opgevallen...

Since about 2 months I've been choosing 'no' or 'reject' on every cookie banner. If that is not possible, or have to take a subscription or yhe likes, I'm not visiting the site at all. And I am missing.... absolutely nothing.

I just learned that there are apparently people who are actually addicted to Active Noise Cancelling, ANC.

O man. Had so much fun with 'This way up', by @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social. Also: lots and lots of insights. Not to mention, funny. Too bad it had to finish. www.amazon.co.uk/This-Way-Up-...

Nu hadden we wel zo'n huilie-huilie imitatie kunnen gebruiken. Ik mag toch hopen dat zo'n leugenachtige trol een keer recht in zijn gezicht wordt uitgelachen. Maar nee hoor. Nederland schiet direct weer in de verdedigingsreflex. Het is zo triest.

I updated my Angular+websockets code example. See full post here: www.linkedin.com/posts/peterk...

If you weren't sure on how to ditch your privacy completely, luckily OpenAI now has the solution! openai.com/index/introd...

Dispatched. But still only arriving after the weekend, unfortunately. By @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social

F*ing websites that ask you to log in "with a code, sent to your email account" - when I perfectly know username and password. I HATE them with a passion.

I currently have the impression that SEO is getting less and less important, due to the rise of AI. You this is correct? If yes, how to mitigate?

I have lost count on how many times I had to prove to a robot that I am not a robot...

Anyone else noticing that #Spotify client on pc is slow on startup, lately (like: **very** slow)?

So much for @googke.bsky.social Gemini CLI...

Wow! I'm in the top-3 of a community map ('Holey Poles practice') on #Geoguessr.

Yeez, new icons. Not again!

It hurts my pride as a programmer, but I have to admit that Gemini AI agent updates and suggests things that I had overlooked in a large code repository.

Last week, 30 years ago, Netscape Navigator 2.0 was released. The first browser to feature JavaScript, plugins, and (useful) animated gifs. www.jwz.org/blog/2025/09...

Pre-ordered.

Well, Github Copilot does not seem to have the most favorable reviews for IntelliJ-IDE's... plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/17718...

Proud of daughter #1, who rode a bicycling ride today further than she's done before. Heavy wind, some rain. Lifetime experience.

Google Chrome is 17 years old this week. Today, 17 years ago, I wrote this 'first impressions' blogpost. (In Dutch, but Google Translate will do its job :-). www.kassenaar.com/blog/post/20...

Ever find yourself wishing coding errors were physical objects? That way you could at least enjoy throwing them out the window.

The jQuery team announced an RC of jQuery 4.0. Well, well. Look at that. Wonders never cease. blog.jquery.com/2025/08/11/j...

Daughter #1 is on Google Streetview! The Google Car came by while she was taking a rest stop during a bicycle ride.

@rowdy.codes Zag ik jou nu gisteravond (from a distance) bij concert Trivium in TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht? De persoon leek iig sprekend...

Tonight: playing Coffee Rush. Hadn't heard of it before, but son #1 bought it last week. Fun, but quite stressful game. #boardgames

Warning. Law ceiling.

ATM crashed. Starting Windows.

Summer vacation chores: breaking down Lego Hogwarts Castle, so daughter #1 can build it again. 😀

"Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week." 30 km/h and child & cycling friendly infrastructure matter, folks. yle.fi/a/74-20174831

Just two weeks ago we were in Birmingham for his final concert. No tickets available anymore, so we went to Slayer concert one day later. Sad to see #Ozzy pass so soon. R.I.P. www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...
