This is going to be a bad news blog because life worries me more than ever. After all, things are not going well for women’s rights, especially in Afghanistan and communication, in terms of openness and understanding, in this world. Somehow, those alarm bells are ringing louder for me, because we are increasingly being taken … Continue reading Those alarm bells are ringing louder
This morning I was up early. There’s work to be done. And that site had a critical error that I definitely wanted to fix. But yeah, I couldn’t access the FTP. Or even a DirectAdmin. So I installed the File Manager plugin. And renamed the plugin folder, to see if that would still have the … Continue reading WordPress troubles during the early morning

Sometimes, life on this planet blows my mind so much that I don’t dare to feel so bold and happy. Because hey, the downs are very deep, and the ups very high. But why is life so fickle? That, of course, depends a little on the nature of this beast. A little, I said. Only … Continue reading Bold

In the middle of the road, she blocked the path of a few cars, causing a traffic jam, which soon showed a tendency to congestion. The swan took her time, looked around to see if her 4 followers, probably her family, … Continue reading On their way
For days now I have been holding my breath almost continuously. And at any time of such a missed breath, I can dedicate yet another blog post to how happy and relieved I would be if the current US President was “dismissed”. Fortunately many with me. While I am normally absolutely not politically committed, you … Continue reading Dismissed
As I walk, a leaf drifts down slowly from the tree next to me, and at the same time I wonder, if that leaf that gets lost hurts the tree. Apart from the fact that this turbulent weather is all my thing, I suddenly get the urge to hug the tree to make up for … Continue reading Focus
Screenshot from Sacha Baron Cohen's Blast on Social Media
Have you also seen the Tweet with that short clip in which “Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen gives the Social Media industry, and especially Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, a blast? Below the Tweet with the video: ‘If Facebook were around in the 1930s, it would have allowed Hitler to post 30-second ads’ — Listen to … Continue reading Selected exclusivities (on Social Media)
It is mid-October 2020. On my birthday last Tuesday, another partial, and in my view a call for an “intelligent”, lockdown was announced. At times this evokes a nauseous feeling in me, which sometimes leads to deep dark thoughts. The next flurry that comes to mind is that my moods could be better. I look … Continue reading Route
