http://blog.markprins.com/2012/12/04/correctly-use-dhcp-request-ip-option-in-dd-wrt
A developers point of view. Correctly use the DHCP Request IP option in DD-WRT on a Ziggo internet connection. In the past few days I wanted to exchanges my long used server (which handles all internet traffic) with my TPLink router which has DD-WRT v24-sp2 build 18024 running. It did not go as easy as I hoped it would and I had to overcome quite some hurdles. The problem was as follows:. The one I came accustomed to. As it turned out, my debian server used DHCP Option 50 to provide a preference for an I...

A developers point of view. Oculus Rift: How it’s not the most fantastic VR device… yet. A lot has been written about the Oculus Rift. Mostly about how fantastic it is, how revolutionary it is, what potential it has and how cool its demos are. In this blog post I try to be a bit more objective about the Rift and describe my experiences with it during my first month with it. Let me first get the most obvious out of the way; O M F G! It *is* fucking brilliant! My first DK2 experiences. And response to it.

A developers point of view. 10 ways to know you’re actually a great developer. This post might seem as stating the obvious. But for a lot of developers it is not as easy to assert their own value to the company, community or world they live in. Despite what others think of them! In a nut shell: Great developers have a knack for greatly help progressing a project they work on in unexpected (or unintended) ways. Please note that the list is not in any particular order! The default mode when a problem is de...

First Employer Syndrome « Mark's Blog
http://blog.markprins.com/2010/11/09/first-employer-syndrome
A developers point of view. In the past 10 years - the first years I started working after my education - I have discovered that there seems to be a group of employees who suffer from what I call "First Employer Syndrome". In essence this syndrome causes the employee to be unwilling to leave his job despite the fact that he is bored, unmotivated , not learning. Fed-up with management or any other valid reason for wanting to switch jobs. As you can see, the loyalty is so strongly present that he will put ...

Movie-Review: Robin Hood – Directors Cut (verdict:6) « Mark's Blog
http://blog.markprins.com/2010/09/12/movie-review-robin-hood-directors-cut-verdict6
A developers point of view. Movie-Review: Robin Hood – Directors Cut (verdict:6). I had not heard a thing about this movie whatsoever until the day that I popped in the BluRay. Of course everybody knows about Robin Hood, and once I saw the title, the director and the actors playing in the movie, I felt like this evening would be a great movie experience. I was wrong. All this combined made me feel a bit disoriented and unable to enjoy the first 30 to 45 minutes of the movie. Feeling I had with "Gladiator...

A developers point of view. Stop being lived and live! A while ago when I was working on a Freelance project for Fabrique I noticed that Martijn (former colleague, college companion and friend) was reading "The 4-hour Workweek" (by Timothy Ferris). As I was intrigued by the title I asked what it is about. As he explained I was immediately intrigued by it. In a few simple words I would explain it as: "Eliminate all. Things and instead do things you like". Now that's a way to get someone motivated! With th...
