Hi, I am Floris.

Warm days, a bit of bad luck, data loss, and iOS public beta release issues, bad eyes, etc. All excuses! I’ve received the April Mail Bag, and the May Mail Bag, but eh … is it Mail Bag or Fail Bag? I need an energy boost, a quick fix, some motivation, because I have some…

Milestone 2 reached! Awww yeah.. ‘An Update to: Saving for a new computer’ Let me just get this off my chest: Oh yeaaaaaah! And: Wow! It has been twelve months since I’ve started the project of http://floris.computer/ – yep! Twelve months ago! And to my surprise this two year plan has reached the second milestone…

A quick update on the network at home. Ziggo indeed upgrade their 120mbit accounts to 150mbit, and just the other day announced their 200mbit accounts to be upgraded to 300mbit (for three bucks more). In the meantime I’ve taken them up on this offer and just finished installing their new modem (Connect Box), and the…

This crap keeps cropping up, and with me it started when I purchased my Matrix ultimate collectors DVD boxset ages ago. This time it’s about Frozen disappearing from Netflix and children in tears, or tech people crying over Apple deleting their content. And sure, rightfully so – we are and should be butthurt over content…

My main system is the iMac from 2009 (for now), I use it daily, at least once every other hour. The apps on it are hardly used, except 20% of them. I use those for about 80% of the time. tl;dr This blog is about which apps I use the most on my iMac, they’re…

Nothing’s left to chance, nothing. Karma is in your face, right there, each time. And luck is what you make it. Blah blah. Life sucks, as amazing as it is. Things don’t just happen. We make it happen. Ironically perhaps, we’re working towards our serendipity. But .. shouldn’t we? tl;dr We should. Negativity is there…

The more I help people who have questions or issues with their iPhone or iPad with cellular option. The more I learn that they do not have a PIN set on their SIM. Which is a concern to me. tl;dr This blog post is about asking you to consider adding a PIN code to your…

For me personally, today marks the Spring season. It closes the door to the first few months of the year, the first season. I have been working hard to make this year a lot easier and better for me than 2015. So it’s important for me that I go to this point and feeling like…

Who are YOU? Why are you HERE? Can you STORE this temporary data for me so I can track you? Can you tell me more about how you surf the net? Why not? Is that creepy? Well.. you’re telling everybody else. Why not me? I want to know if you’re a hot 25 year old…

It is still beyond me why browsers have the setting to allow all data and any cookie from any site, current, deep-linked, etc. If it was up to me, it is the current site and domain under signed certificate. So when you go to Facebook.com you don’t get a bit fake anti-virus popup and super…

Today is about gaming. I woke up, played some Hay Day. Had lunch with a friend and played some Minecraft together. Went to my parents for dinner and stayed to play another family tournament of Rummikub, yep.. today it is game day! And since it’s March the theme is Easter. tl;dr Once a month I…

Life is a little unfair at times. Best intentions, hope, trust, or emotions. They tend to play tricks on you. It seems the more one cares for the other – a friendship, relationship, just a family member – the more these negative feelings can pile up, cause friction, and eventually hurt each other. Kind of…
