Hi Dave,

Trying to publish the outline, but not seeing where to add a #type directive to the top level of the outline, with the value "stream". How can this be done? Seems like I can only name the outline. Then when I check the output, it says that there is no content to display. With a little help... :-)

Thanks Preeti! I wonder why you didn't choose a career as network engineer. What was that good book you read again? :-)

I really have no clue!

I know how back-ends operate in telco worlds. Does not come as a surprise... hope they'll learn from this.

Re: A European cloud

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your comment.

When I mean Internet without borders, I am hinting at the essence of the World Wide Web: small pieces loosely joined as Berners Lee calls it. Think about standards such as data portability, Creative Commons and Linked Data. These big principles, practices, standards, rules and regulations are known and applied across borders. The Occupy movement is another big example of the economic freedom that we experience thanks to the Internet. Labourers are able to organize themselves through world wide unions. And so on. That's truly amazing! People are becoming more empowered to drive change and whistleblowers like Snowden and their actions are the ultimate proof of that.
To a certain extent of course you are right and I am talking about an "ideal" whereas you and Deckmyn are of course thinking in another dimension. Still, I am an opponent of such a European cloud as I think this will only give way to actual borders on the Internet. Like the Chinese wall. Internet is universal and not about nations, institutions or corporations in my sincere opinion.

Re: Studentenjob bij Deloitte

Hi Katrien,

Wel, dat kwam door de samenwerking van onze studentenvereniging met partner Deloitte. Deloitte was op zoek naar een aantal jobstudenten met een IT achtergrond destijds.

Hi Marianne,

Fijne commentaar. Cybersecurity wordt hoe langer hoe meer belangrijker. Mensen moeten bewust zijn van de gevaren die schuilgaan op het Internet!

Succes bij het vinden van je appartementje.

Kris

Thanks very much Philip! All the best for the New Year!

Exactly the same is happening in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. People only show up during the afternoon even. But it's rather symbolic I would say.

Ik heb wel ergens nog een foto liggen, maar die staat nog op andere media en dus nog niet op het Web :-)

Maar serieus.. proberen dit gerecht!

Hi Kris,

What's happening is that these other sites are using your shortname. You were lucky enough to get one that many people would want, 'kris', and in Tumblr you can enable comments by typing in a shortname rather than registering (this isn't proper, but people do it anyways).

These users have no control over their comments as a result, only you do. We do have a feature called "Trusted Domains" in your Disqus general settings. You can specify which domains you want your Disqus forum to load on, effectively blocking the other sites who you're receiving notifications for. You'll want to enter the following as a trusted domain: krisvandenbergh.be

If you have any other sites, be sure to include them on your list in that format (no http:// or ending '/').

Thanks again for using Disqus,

Ryan

Re: Disqus data messed up

Kris — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 05:04:16 -0000

Thanks giannii for getting in touch with me. However, as for 1 I'm NOT the moderator of the website so this is a bug. With respect to 2, I've already changed between the sites and the data is just blatantly wrong.

Re: Tether for Android Now Available – We Celebrate with a Contest!

Kris — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 03:03:08 -0000

The last couple of months I've been spending way too much money texting my girlfriend. Somehow, the network refuses me to text directly to her number. In Android, I confirm "please retry sending" each time, but then it sends the message multiple times. And it's only happening with respect to her number. Life it's not fair! I'm feeling so poor! Please let me win Tether so I can just roll the Internet way.

Nice scenery: a cute couple crossing the street in one of the bumpy roads in NY. Oh, and look at the green light!

Re: LinkedIn’s Company pages: more social than you might have thought

What I especially like is the fact that one can get an immediate overview of valuable data such as the number of university graduates, staff distribution over departments, job opportunities, company size, financial records. Often this data has never been released before, so it gives a total new dimension as to make comparisons, observations and analyze a company very deeply. Not to mention that it is all in one place!

Coldplay is misschien niet het beste voorbeeld, maar je weet waar ik op doel.

Anyway, gelukkig zijn er veel uitzonderingen op deze stereotypering!

True Trish :-) I forgot to mention that one! I apologize that this blog is in Dutch, but I have been maintaining it for quite a long time you see. At least we have Google translate.

Take care miss.

Re: A 360° homage to Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher

Nice. Makes me think that Christopher Nolan (Inception) got inspired by Escher's work as well, when talking about the architect who designs labyrinths.

Re: Why Developers are So Important - A Healthy Information Diet - InfoVegan.com

Kris — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 10:17:21 -0000

Great write-up Clay! Very insightful. I have a few rather pessimistic remarks though.

From what I understand, you describe developers as the people building our constructs, filters and tools. What do Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Mark Zuckerberg have in common? They felt there was a need to fill a gap and therefore they themselves deliberately started building -- there was no top-down commercial incentive.They are the originators and creators I would say. But on the other hand we have the functionalists; the developers in the sense of programmers. Their sole purpose is to implement a functionality to support a (business) process. However, I believe that in the future, these people could be replace by code generation and software evolution but that's something else.

Discrepancy or not, there is a negative misconception about developers! The first type of developers is considered as geeky, overly obsessed with technology or as the person eating snacks and messing around in their dorm rooms -- awkward people. For the second type, their jobs are often deemed ungraceful by the general public and other more business-oriented ITers in particular.

Nonetheless, for me developers, and certainly the creators, are todays superheroes. They have great power, but also great responsibility -- making information manageable as you suggest, but without a profit motive.

One more thing I would like to add concerning the word "gatekeepers". I ponder that the word "gateway" is more appropriate. Gatekeepers make me think of people like Jobs and Ballmer, while the gateways are those who make information more accessible, usable, interoperable and open in the end.

Re: Scripting News: New feature: Blog post sub-text!

Kris — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:28:26 -0000

Great feature Dave!

Besides the in-line footnote idea, I think it's also a great incentive to motivate people to click through from an RSS feed. This way they get additional information/annotations on the actual page.

Excellent post, Jeremiah! Very appealing and powerful concept, because it is just so much more than "just marketing" in the end. Made some additional remarks here: http://krisvandenbergh.eu/c...
