They promised us over and over again never to use the Dutch security number (“SOFI Number”) to connect all kind of databases together. What did they do? They renamed the “SOFI Number” it to “BSN Number” and do with that what they said they never would do. Today I needed to have some x-rays made….

I managed to integrate Google Maps with the wonderful plugin WP Geo into my weblog. I really think it is pretty awesome. For now I can add one marker per post. But as far as I understand it is in development to add more markers per post, which would be really nice for post with…
Something nice to watch….
