FAQ

Personal

Is Jeroen van Nieuwenhuizen your realname?
Yes, Jeroen van Nieuwenhuizen is really my real name. To be more precise it is Jeroen C. van Nieuwenhuizen.

Do you spend all your time behind a computer screen?
No, I do sleep sometimes.

Do people really ask you these kind of silly questions?
Yes, they really do :-).

Email

Why do you not want HTML only email?
Because I think it is impolite not to include a plain-text part.

Why do you prefer encrypted email? Are you paranoid?
I think its not a question of being paranoid, but of being paranoid enough.

Where does the "I know I'm not perfect but I can smile" part from your signature come from?
It comes from the song No Angel from Dido. And it is there because I am not an angel and I am not perfect. But yes, I can still smile despite the sad things that happened in my live.

Can god send you email?
No, Mar 11 21:42:20 regina postfix/smtpd[82950]: 86C0DE6110: reject: RCPT from god-himself.XXXXX.nl[XX.XXX.XX.XX]: 554

Do you read all your email?
No, a lot of my email is filtered away because it is spam. Another part is filtered through summarizing scripts.

My computers and network

Which Operating Systems do you use?
aegir.jeroen.se runs FreeBSD 7.0
alberich.jeroen.se runs FreeBSD 6.2
astrild.jeroen.se runs CentOS 5.0
fafnir.jeroen.se runs all kinds of OSes for testing purposes
hermod.jeroen.se runs FreeBSD 5.5
hildr.jeroen.se runs FreeBSD 7.0
idunn.jeroen.se runs Mac OS X 10.5

I am at your home, how do I connect to the Internet?
Many have tried, few have succeeded.

Are you going to support MS Windows Vista for friends and relatives?
No.

Blocking

I get a bounce stating: 554 Service unavailable; Client host [X.X.X.X] blocked using blacklist.jeroen.se. Why?
Because you are sending mail via a host that send virusses to my spamtraps. You can remove the IP yourself at blacklist.jeroen.se/remove.php.

Driving

I think you can not drive, what should I do?
Send your complaint to 44-sf-hr [at] jeroen [dot] se. But probably you are dutch and had a problem with me on the German autobahn and almost got us both killed because you do not understand the rechts fahr gebot. Please use your mirrors. Thanks.
