Op 6 april 2017 hebben Jeroen Reijn en ik een presentatie gegeven op DevCon 2017 over hoe we continuous delivery hebben ingevoerd voor het case management systeem van de ANWB Alarmcentrale. We zijn daarbij ingegaan op welke uitdagingen we hadden en hoe we die weg hebben genomen. Abstract Continuous Delivery wordt vaak geassocieerd met een snellere […]

Writing LibreOffice macros in BASIC
I had the questionable pleasure of needing to write some LibreOffice macros. This gave me some WTF moments that I will share here, in the hope that it will save a future reader some agonising moments Googling these problems. BASIC runtime error. Argument is not optional. This happens when you press “Run BASIC” (or F5) […]

There was still an annoying bug in it: whenever the session expired the script wouldn’t recover. Lately that’s been bugging me more than usual. So, I figured I’d fix it.

Web spam and Unicode private use
I just cleaned a piece of web spam only including some gibberish and a funny looking character. The character () was from the Unicode private use area. Interesting. I wonder if this is an attempt to find sites that are vulnerable. No related posts.

Pensioen: wat kun je vandaag nog doen?
Voor veel mensen is pensioen nog ver weg. De helft van de Nederlanders denkt er dan ook niet over na. Toch is het wel belangrijk. Maar ja, moeilijk, moeilijk. Een andere keer dan maar? Nee! Hoe eerder je begint, hoe harder je pensioen groeit. Als je in 2004 inkomen had, is het zelfs extra belangrijk […]
Block Tor exit nodes using iptables
So this evening I had to manually block 22 Tor exit nodes because they were running a denial of service attack on my server. Not my idea of a fun start of the weekend. Related posts: Roundcube and X-notifier revisited Roundcube and X-notifier Wikipedia for multilinguals
Wikipedia for multilinguals
Each lemma on Wikipedia has a list of other languages with that lemma. That list is great as a dictionary, and to get more information on a subject, but it can get big. Too big. Here’s a little trick to make it more manageable. No related posts.
