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… Continue reading Talk: Hoe releasen minder pijnlijk werd bij de ANWB Alarmcentrale

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)… Continue reading Writing LibreOffice macros in BASIC
Roundcube and X-notifier revisited
A couple of years ago I updated the X-notifier script for Roundcube to support multiple mailboxes. (Original post.) 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.

So, when upgrading my Roundcube installation to 0.8.4 I decided it had to… Continue reading Roundcube and Google Contacts

A couple of weeks ago I decided it was time to upgrade my Roundcube installation again. I don’t really enjoy doing that due to the amount of plugins I have installed. But it was overdue. In what must have been a stroke of pure brilliance, I allowed Webmail Notifier to upgrade too. (Part of that… Continue reading Roundcube and X-notifier
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… Continue reading Pensioen: wat kun je vandaag nog doen?
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.
