Windows 10 build 1803–BSOD

No Comments

20180507_124328

As a good Microsoft adapt I have updated to the latest public WIndows 10 build proactively. On both my PCs I now suffer from random BSOD’s. My machine freezes and within 2 minutes a BSOD and aparently I am not the only one …

Paul Thurrott reported that Microsoft is “looking into the issue”  : Microsoft to Fix Windows 10 Version 1803 Freezing Issue

“Microsoft is aware that some devices running the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803) may hang or freeze when using certain apps, such as ‘Hey Cortana’ or Chrome,” a Microsoft support document explains. “Microsoft is working on a solution with the goal of including it in the next regular monthly update, currently targeted for a release date of May 8, 2018.”

and a temorary workaround could be :

Microsoft offers the following workaround if you are experiencing freezes or hangs:

  • Try the Windows keyboard shortcut WINKEY + CTRL + SHIFT + B, which wakes the screen. If you’re on a tablet, you can press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons simultaneously three times, and do so within 2 seconds.
  • If you’re using a laptop, close and open the laptop lid.

I certainly hope this gets fixed asap Sad smile

UPDATE 8/5/2018

Help is on it’s way as promised by MIcrosoft :

UPDATE 9/5/2018

Let’s see what comes out of the community in the comes few days … By any means this is bad for a production release …

At Breinwave we have started to develop and deliver a very comprehensive digital workplace solution. For the foundation of our solution we partner with Synigo.

Synigo has now published one of two blogposts on our vision :

“Everyone knew that it wasn’t possible. Until someone came along who didn’t know that.” That’s our motto for helping organizations become more productive. Whoever isn’t curious about doing things better will never improve themselves. That’s why many companies are still in the 1990s in terms of how they work: they offer access to email, Office applications and business applications (such as CRM, ERP, the educational system and the electronic customer file) and think that’s enough. One size fits all.

Of je nu Avicii fan bent of niet, deze documentaire is echt een aanrader.

Avicii is een super talentvolle artiest en zijn worsteling met het stressvolle touren is de rode draad. Erg dapper dat hij uiteindelijk besluit geen dingen meer te doen waar hij niet gelukkig van wordt.

Last year in August I was a bit bored during my holiday and this ‘boredome’ resulted in a new project : What if I created a website in which (almost) all of the events that are organised around Porsche cars in The Netherlands can be found in 1 place. And so Porschekalender.nl was born. 

I do not have the intention to make money with this project; just have the best Calendar for Porsche related events ‘at your fingertips’.

The result is showing. Puur Porsche Magazine is using Porschekalender.nl as their standard agenda. Also GP Eilte, the company that organises and delivers all of the Porsche trackdays and trainings in The Netherlands lists all of their events also on the site.

Last but not least, creating this site was my first WordPress project. Sure I use a standard template but it did teach me a lot of things in translating the template in Dutch, working with widgets, etc, etc .

Peterdehaas.net is moved from Typepad to WordPress

No Comments

I started blogging in 2004, little over 14 years ago today. When I first started off I used blogger and in 2005 I decided to move to Typepad. Now after 13 years I moved my blog to WordPress.

Although WordPress may essentially not be much better, there are a lot more tools available to create post, manage your blog, etc.

Migrating content was quite easy; a simple export from Typepad and import into WordPress. To ensure my “rich” history in search engines did not break I had to change the way Worpress handles the permalinks.

So besides a different theme you should not notice too much about the move, besides me blogging again Smile. I do hope I can stick to blogging again.

Breinwave magazine nummer 2 is live !

No Comments

Ruim 2 jaar na onze eerste editie is nu Breinwave magazine nummer 2 klaar. Gisteren viel de geprinte versie op de mat bij alle klanten en partners die hebben meegewerkt aan deze 80! pagina dikke versie van ons magazine.

Ik ben ongelofelijk trots op onze medewerkers die deze versie tot een zeer goed einde hebben gebracht. Want een idee hebben is 1, maar het invullen en doorzetten tot het klaar is, is een heel ander verhaal.

Het magazine is echt een aanrader voor iedereen die inspiratie wil opdoen over het beter inzetten van technologie binnen zijn/haar organisatie en het laat alle aspecten van het Breinwave portfolio goed zien.

Veel leesplezier !

Open Live Writer – Finally a followup of my favorite blogwriter tool

No Comments

For many years (and not so much the last years) I have been using Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer as my tool for write=ing blogs. Simply because it was a ‘no hassle’ easy to use tool that just worked. Ever since 2012 Microsoft ended support for Windows Live Writer, but you were still able to download and install it from the Microsoft website.

I often switch PC’s so doing new installations has become a habit. Afster some time I was no longer able to install Windows Live Writer, most likely because of some incomaptibilities in Windows 10 or something else I was no longer willing to investigate …

This morning I thought let’s give the Windows Store a try and there it was. The open sources version of WIndows Live Writer : Open Live Writer :

Because I stoppen looking for it, it may have been there for quite some time, but who cares. I am a happy man Smile

Now I will ‘force’ myself to get back into blogging shape. I have so many things I want to write about …
