Bastiaan en Lily's blog

I'm sure one could write a book on ATM interfaces and how bad they are. I'm not going to do that though the realization as an IT person is that I rather have people who haven't got an inkling of proper interfaces but are geniusses on safeguarding electronic money transfers writing the ATM software then the other way around :)

I'm just going to rant a few lines on a very simple thing that not only applies to ATMs but to many other scenarios as well..

Some months back there was a discussion on the Omnis lists on how to navigate lists in Omnis Studio effectively. That discussion lead to some interesting discussion given by several people and I've been wanting to summize them on my blog for some time but never got around to it. Even today I don't have time to do a proper writeup but since I just wrote a routine I wanted to share I've decided to do a quick post about these.

I specifically thank Kelly Burgess who gave some great tips on this subject

Well at least we got one step further in this ordeal. Called the tax department again last night. They hadn't received my letters, atleast according to what the guy could see though I would have expected the first one to have arrived at least. They probably ended up at the wrong persons desk. Alas.

The good news though is that my initial phonecall has bore fruit so my well meant thanks go out to the lovely lady that helped me that night/morning.

I haven't blogged in a while not for lack of wanting but because I've simply been way to busy. Having two kids sounds like a good excuse but the reality in that is that I rather spend time with my kids then sit behind a dumb computer. Still it is indeed exhausting and there have been days that both myself and Lily are ready to pull our hair out. In that my hat is off to Lily, the amount of energy required to take care of our kids day in day out, I doubt I would do as good a job if I was in her shoes.

Work has kept me equally busy, Daniel went on his much deserved retirement a week or two back so it's been full hands on deck. Still we're doing some amazing stuff so I'm having the greatest time.

Unfortunately though, it isn't wanting to blog and give an update on how the family is doing that draws me back. It is pure frustration with the Dutch Tax System.
The rest of this blog post will therefor be in Dutch.
