A while ago I was one of the translators of “Agile Testing Condensed” by Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory. I used dictation and screen readers to translate text from Englich to Dutch. One of my blog posts about my experiences got the attention of a test company on the internet.

This spring a school of my kids organised a job event. I talked about testing and finding interesting bugs. The challenge for me was to tell about testing using an absolute minimal amount of technical stuff.

I got remarkable notification of the Club of Ministry of Testing. I was in the top 10 of people with the highest numbers of days visiting the Club om 2023.

With GDPR in my mind, I reported an incident about a data leak. I got a response.

My strangest feat of this year was drinking coffee, while reading a book on the table and looking forward instead of down. I did not use a straw. I was reading braille.

Beginning 2024 there was no news about the Dutch Braille Challenge. Then I heard, that the second edition would take place. The goal is to stimulate people to use braille. There were groups for absolute beginners, people with some basic skills, and experts. The goal is to stimulate people to use braille.

This summer I saw the quantum processor and a Babbage machine in the Science Museum in London. A quantum processor is very fast processor, but must be handled with special care. The Babbage machine was a calculator developed 200 years ago.

This July I felt the underground while sitting on a bench.

This year I wrote some blog posts about testing, System 1, and System 2. I added new lyrics on “My Favourite Things”, “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, and “Miss American Pie”. A music teacher one challenged me to make song texts which rhymed. It took me a few years to accomplish the feat with “Miss American Pie”.
