Mijn eerste foto met de Insta360 One X2
Ik heb er een hele tijd tegen aan gehikt: Ga ik nu wel of ga ik nu niet een 360 graden camera kopen. Uiteindelijk heb ik de knoop doorgehakt: Hij moet er toch maar komen: De Insta360 One X2. Ondertussen heb ik al wat filmpjes gemaakt bij het hardlopen en tijdens een autoritje. Beide heb ik teruggekeken in virtual…
Removing ghost e-mails from Smart Mailboxes

Check the readability of a post before posting
As I mentioned earlier I really like the things that the Yoast SEO plugin does for WordPress for search engine optimization (SEO). One of those things is the readability check. Yoast checks each article you write for its readability, in other words: Is your article easy to read? You are writing for your readers, are you not? I slightly…
PowerShell (aka going coldturkey on cmd.exe)

Within PowerShell you can use .NET calls and WMI. Even…

MOM optimization
In my ever continuing quest to reduce the number of (unwanted) events in our MOM and reporting database I turned my attention to the events that are entered in the database. From time to time I’m running some SQL queries on the MOM reporting database to check which servers are the top event generators. I know there are some…
Portable Apps
With all these large new USB sticks it’s hard to fill them with data. My 2GB USB drive has more than 1GB of free space :S Some of the free space I use for portable apps, to have my favorite tools and application always with me. A couple of tools I have on my stick are: VideoLan audio/videoplayer, KeePass…
Pasting as unformatted text in Word
I really got annoyed when copying text from an HTML page to Word. I really use a lot of cut ‘n paste from the keyboard in Word. Pasting unformatted text is possible in Word, but you have to go through the menus. As a keyboard jockey I don’t like that. In the hope to replace the “paste” to a…

Everything went like clockwork. The first servers had no errors during install and were working normally after the install. Then the pain began.. Some kind…
