1957 – Report 8th grade Geert Groote School

Having moved from The Hague to Amsterdam, visited the Geert Groote School, then located at the Hygeaplein behind the Olympiaplein for 3 months (April, May, June).After summer changed to 2nd grade Gymnasium at Amsterdams Lyceum.

August 29 1967 – Our wedding

Posted in Uncategorized

August 1966, one of my first software programs.

A page, (nr 3 of 13) from a program to show computer instructions on the machine level, a socalled “trace” program. Was written for the IBM 360 Model 2, which was never released.
On the left the symbolic machine code, on the right the machine code in hexadecimal (handcoded, since there was no compiler/assembler available yet).

Two ways too show the current year in a webpage

A simple example in PHP:


<html>
<body>
<span><? echo date('Y') ?></span>
</body>
</html>

Note: PHP has to be integrated with a webserver.

A slightly less simple example in JavaScript:


<html>
<script>
function currentYear() {
  y = new Date();
  document.getElementById("year").innerHTML = y.getFullYear();
}
</script>
<body onload="currentYear()">
<span id="year"></span>
</body>
</html>

Should work with any JS supporting browser
