I got forwarded some old photos I took in the 80s, early 90s. Digitalized. Yes, I used to roam the earth trying to shoot photos of military aircraft (#spotting). One of these required me to use a fake ID to get to the flight line, which I wouldn't dare do in today's world.

Remind me... I don't think Outlook can create a rule with a filter to find all emails that appear to be from our internal domain (Omnissa), but are written, e.g., as 0mnissa. And if it doesn't have that option, isn't that the biggest oversight ever for an Email solution? Any thoughts?

We get a 10% tax because we don’t want the US to grab Greenland… The big bully got upset with some countries helping Greenland. Come on Europe we can do better, station some serious troops there. the big baby needs to hear NO more clear… he is not used to it.

Installing software on Windows requires Visual C++ and other related components. You get tired of the reboots it needs. And I've been working with this for decades; I'm still amazed at how often it requires updates.

Why (asking myself this question while waiting for my wife in a clothing shop) do all wat he’s have their controls on the right side?? I stopped wearing watches because I hated the controls pushing my hand.

Sneeuw in Nederland, 24 km file op de A58, Trein verkeer ontregelt door sneeuw en een IT storing. Ik ontwerp al sinds 1998 thuiswerk oplossing, je moet wel echt een hekel aan je personeel hebben om ze in deze omstandigheden naar kantoor te roepen.. Dit zijn de thuiswerkdagen.

Forced regime changes. For those unaware, they hardly ever end up for the better. History should be studied to avoid the same mistakes over and over. (This does not mean I didn’t think he was a dictator and should be gone - just not like this.) what’s next, Russian-style puppet leader?

I am old enough to remember when bad polls and lots of oil were reasons for attacks on a country. Under the disguise of many lies. History repeats itself, sadly. Sadly, with this comes chaos, refugees, hate and violence. But I guess the oil is worth it.

DuckDuckGo has the option to block a site from all search results, that seems to do the trick.. Sadly the management console does not allow you to add the urls.. you need to click on the … next to the results to add them… Why is it so hard to give us user control over what we want to see?

For a while I have been searching how to remove certain sites (any Chinese shops as an example) from showing up in my google results. So far it seems that I will need to install an outdated extension to cover this. Is there really no other way? Which other browser allows for user control over this?

No shit. That anyone for one second believed the Russians on this, is shocking itself. When they talk they lie.

A short run away to prevent our dog for fireworks crazy neighbors brought us to this lovely German place.. A nice forest area with no fire works around.. we’ll be back when money is burned and neighbors are back to complaining about how expensive groceries are..

A quote I saw and one that captures 2025 very well for me. “If the Kremlin applauds you, you’re not misunderstood — you’re useful”

I mean, why not

The image (copyright Steve Miker) ended with the invention of photoshop. I altered it to add AI image altering in it + the trust of people in miracles… with all the AI image, video editing, people have a natural distrust to anything they see online..

Last summer I spend most my holiday cutting trees at my cottage, that had fallen down due to a storm. Now, I hear that the region that the biggest storm in 10 years, and I se pictures of fallen trees… no info on my cottage (it is very remote).. but I guess next holiday will be a repeat of ‘25.

Does anyone have a good suggestion (based on experience) for a wall mounted or standing CD-player?

Christmas is done. Back to normality. (I was the cook, I need an extra week off 😱)

NPO Radio2 opgezet vanwege top2000 deze week.. na paar dagen al klaar met al dat gezever van washed deejays.. Kunnen die Ruud de wild en jeroen van inkel niet met pensioen.. jezelf leuk vinden lijkt ook een vak. sowieso deejay, wat is dat eigenlijk? Ik heb liever dat ze stil zijn en muziek draaien

We were the abused. We were the forgotten. We were the bemused. We were the downtrodden. You have abused us. You have forgotten us. You have bemused us. BUT We will no longer allow you to tread on us! We will rise, speak your names + demand justice! Your power over us is gone as you diminish!

A lot of people who never “watch” porn or are advocating against it from religious backgrounds, are very nervous.. Their sick watch and search behavior could come public… Somehow, this is fun to watch. but honey, the devil tricked me.. LOL

in other words.. very strong words, words only, no action.. Europe is sold out to Russia because of a name on a list.

Internet browsers should display your bookmarks first when searching. Results that match a bookmark should be listed above the sponsored results. That would make sense. I valued that result; I bookmarked it. Of course, I could search my bookmarks first, but who does that?

Tuincentrum heeft blijkbaar te kort aan kerstspullen. We moeten ze binnen drie dagen retourneren.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the oligarchs, backed by the scum in the Kremlin and the White House, want to carve up Europe between the USA and Russia.

nos.nl/artikel/2593... Euh, dit zeggen we al 10 jaar of zo... krijg je met dat boeren burger bedrog dat alles dwarsboomt.. mensen hier zijn doodziek van al die K giga stallen.

Working with Gemini3 for some fact-checking (Yes, I know using AI for fact-checking is...) The one thing you'd expect is that it doesn't copy over errors like this. Right now, it looks like just a stupid copier, nothing more. It is on-premises, stupid.

Hyvää ja rauhallista Itsenäisyyspäivää!

Back from a business thrip to London. Somehow I rather walk around here.

Any Excel gurus out there who have wild thoughts on why a date scatter chart with date-based data isn't allowing me to treat the horizontal axis as values? I checked the dates (got them sorted with a SORT/VSTACK), and there are no odd ones. The same chart with a different data set works just fine.

If your scattered Excel chart isn't scattering enough, how do you convince it to switch the horizontal axis from Category to Value? It is a scattered chart FFS... I have an identical one (with newer data) next to it that behaves as it should. (dates on the horizontal, series on the vertical axis)

Question for the smart ones: Anyone experienced issues with an LG tv and an older Onkyo amplifier? My Son is experiencing issues where the KEF speakers adjust volume by themselves.. Seems to be related to the new LG tv less/not compatible with the Onkyo (optical connected).. thoughts are welcome.

Dear president Zelensky, please tell trump, Rubio and witkoff to fuck all the way off.

Microsoft SharePoint has to be the worst searchable content solution available. I would argue it is even pretty bad at a simple text search, and searching for images (hellooo, this 2025 calling) is foreign to it. /rant off... I will just open all old files to find the image myself.

We had an election a week or so ago. Visited my parents this weekend and my dad (80) asks “ what is this left and right they keep mentioning “. My mom chips on that they don’t understand it. Explained with examples. They now know what to look for next time they vote (we have lots of elections)

Weerman onderzoekt of in de zon zitten warm is.

With the US government reopened, can they finally process my tax claim??? How bloody long can it take to see you F*cked up and need to pay me back what you withheld? I'm not even a US citizen (and happy about that).

My review on TripAdvisor of the Hilton Anaheim was removed because the hotel underwent some major renovations. My review, I recall, was that it looked like a terrible 1970 porn movie was shot there, and nothing has changed since then. Like 99% of all US hotels. Tacky carpets everywhere.

DTV: Bestaan er inbouw air-fryers?

Travelling back from Frankfurt we have a detour to reach Arnhem. Sadly the train does not stop at any station on that detour. Just passed my house at 5km but need to travel 1hour to Arnhem and 1hour back. C’est la vie. Sun is shining

A quote of today that stuck with me. “You need to be agile and eager to learn; what you know today and what you do today, won’t be. Used or needed tomorrow”. You need to be able to adapt and keep learning.

Travelling to an event. I decided to take the more sustainable transport, train. The travel time would be more or less the same, so why not. Well, it is hell. After about the fifth red sign, trains in front of us not moving, issues with the rails, we are now 50mins late and half way. Never again

Our elections turned out to a better result than expected. The right wing party lost 12 seats to other right wing parties and more moderate parties. They are still the biggest party but after two walk aways from a coalition, who will work with them. They are only shouting and hatred, no solution.

Just to make sure you all know this... it is always DNS....

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Trump does nothing, ever. Weakest president in history. Controlled by Putin. Who would ever have imagined the US president on a leach taken for a walk, by Russia.

It seems it is all or nothing..

Some days my thoughts of a meal out do the time I have for it.. well, we ate a tad later but the meal was there. #satehbabi, #satehajam, #gadogado, #sayur, #friedrice, and some sides… tomorrow eating what is left..

My old content is live again... at www.insightfulworld.eu No commenting, no nothing, just my old content from my old blog. Thanks to @dayna12121.bsky.social

Because of those added tables, which are similar to some already in the DB (wp- vs WP_) nothing shows up it works fine going into the DB tables, it is all there.. I just can't get it connected.
