Het is een specifieke grafiek van cloudfare. Iedereen zou dit kunnen controleren want het is publiekelijk. Het betreft Yandex traffic dat natuurlijk een dip had nadat de datacenters geraak werden. Of dit bot activiteit impact kun je er niet aan zien. Helpen zal het niet.

We add potato to ensure the spoon stays upright. Tomato won't do that. We add carrot and sausage to it.

I went to the same museum today and part of the expo was still there. So I took some pictures.

It is pear season so I created a dessert with port simmered pears with ice and whipped cream. (Port + honey + orange juice and jest)… I’m pretty happy with it..

de lichten knipperen zelfs nog... vroeger stond er onder (wellicht nog) wacht tot de lichten gedoofd zijn, er kan nog een trein komen.

Not the best tacos (this was deep on the Finnish forests. I call them möki tacos.) But the small tortillas work great, just short time in a heated pan and it is soo much better than those hard shells

We got some naan yesterday from a local Indian place. I made saag chicken and didn’t have time to make naan as well.. so, why not get at the best place to get it.. My god, it was soo bad… like it was warmed up in a microwave.. chewy, too thick dough, not baked long enough.. sooo disappointing.

Tuna is cheaper here. About €3.2.

Not different here with peanut butter. I think 40oz is about 1KG, right? Is that price without tax? Here it cost €6,99 which is about $8 something. Expensive but yeah it is the best one here and who can live without peanut butter???

Dutch cooking from when I was young.. salt, pepper (but very little) and nutmeg. This is my collection today; I had to learn that there is so much more out there.

Visited a fair at a local castle… fairs aren’t my thing really, so I find alternative things to do.. Today, that was a lovely butterfly posing for me.

I am a bit obsessed either way these plates. This was last Friday. But now you have me triggered. Your lunch is more like how the French would eat. They take their time. I love it. Good for you to enjoy lunch like this. Jealous ( I have my cheese sandwich 😉)

Rob Beekmans @robbeekmans.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Damn I should be dead by now. We live on cured meat on this side of the ocean. Cured meat, cheese and wine. I make these plates all the time. amazing lunch box, never did that but that’s a great idea

Nice place to go out with a kayak. This year, we had rough waters and stormy weather often, not kayak weather. 1hr40mins to the closest "bar/cafe" with a kayak in normal weather.

A bit jealous. I had planned to do that at my lake in summer but someone decided we have storms during my PTO. Enjoy the ride. It looks lovely

Dutch people didn't like the halftime show... Here is a poll on a news site. I think, after 8600 votes, the verdict is clear. Let's see how they mess up the Olympics..

They gifted me a new Lego set for my birthday. But that was also the start of our vacation. Had to wait four weeks to start building.

There was an exhibition a few years back with "predictions" and lifestyles from around 1880-1920. what they used and what they thought the world would look like. I sadly didn't take many pictures, but the ideas about the future, around 1890, were amazing.

Make sure you take time to enjoy life… we had a nice French cider at the lake. hopefully, if weather permits, tonight again.

For me the most important task of the day 😉. Heating up the sauna. Ready for a washup in the cottage before we head out tomorrow. Need to look smart for the “real” world

While doing some research in our family history, I ran into a priest that had a horrible writing I am trying to decipher the name marked in yellow. Something someting Johan Reinhold Henriksson.. but Johan for me is very unclear.. like there is a “y” there.. any linguistic experts around?

Some folks go on vacation to lay on the beach… we? We go and built stuff. Terrace and fence + shaded area (still needs the roofing). We are no people to sit still. Next up sauna and something with a bit of alcohol to celebrate finishing this stage.

Current status of the world… we’re the frogs in the boiling water, but we’re also the ones controlling the knobs. (Well, some are.. Many know this is going to get worse)

At Omnissa we have a yearly hackathon. This year I participated with Oliver. We created a new internal product called CIRA, created with and powered by Claude AI. As a non dev guy winning from 100 dev teams, I am surprised but happy. This is how great team work brings results.

How dumb a developer you have to be to design a UI that shows this stupid control over the message option, blocking options to add photos, etc to a WhatsApp message. Apple IpadOS failure..

I agree with this approach. I do that with Crème Brûlée. But also with how coffee is served, not to act posh, but why can't we enjoy things these days? We're not always on the go.

"The package arrived in your country". Well, I am not sure about that. Belgium hasn't been a part of the Netherlands for about 200 years now. We'd love to be united again but that is another story..

Not delivered in 65 days? Who waits 65 days for an order? It is still faster delivered than a Trump phone with an 11-stripes US flag. Paying $499 for a cheap Chinese ripoff, you folks like to be scammed.

Took a day trip to #dusseldörf. Just one hour away and I never visited it. Just a stroll around looking for jugendstil architecture and more modern ones like this one.

Sometimes you just need to look around and enjoy the beauty of nature.. Biked by a stork nest (ooievaar in Dutch), had my P1000 with me so distance was not an issue.. heatwaves were a challenge, but happy with the shot.
