Pothole on the last stretch into Harderwijk could swallow a bakfiets. Reported. Again.

Update 122: Office rumor mill says the staging TLS cert expires on a Friday. Of course it does.

If your TTL is 24 hours, write the post like it has to earn the extra day.

Update 80: The 07:12 to Almere Haven was on time. I do not know how to process this emotionally.

Update 123: Tried the long way around Amersfoort on the bike. Extra twelve minutes, minus two close calls.

The herons union would like to add: more fish, fewer drones. [117.5]

Update 82: Found a bench in Rotterdam Blaak that is not next to a speaker. I am not telling you which one.

Update 83: Work identity thought of the day: private spaces should leak nothing. Not even the joke.

Update 126: Registrar panel just showed “pending” in four languages. Internationalisation of despair.

The API is not late. The specification is optimistic. There is a difference.

Update 84: Three herons at Scheveningen. They looked like they had a union.

Update 127: Reminder: the off-leash field by Pampus is closed until Thursday for maintenance. Use the dune path.

This is the actual failure mode. Pending with no expiry. [78.4]

This is the actual failure mode. Pending with no expiry. [53.4]

Kids at the playground in Rotterdam Blaak invented a game with rules I cannot audit. GDPR nightmare. Adorable.
