Rijksregister access through Belgian electronic ID card
On the mijndossier website, it is possible to view your own file in the belgian 'rijksregister' (state register), provided you have an electronic ID card and a computer set up to use it. I should note that the website uses a certificate that iceweasel on Debian, in its default configuration and after installing and configuring the necessary packages for using the electronic ID card, still warns about the certificate being 'not safe'. I should check what's going on there. But that is not what this post is about.
What it is about, however, is the fact that this website contains a "death" chapter.
Now, by definition, this "death" chapter can never be filled in, since one can only access their own data. And I can hardly do that if I'm death, can I?
Oh well, not that I care or anything.
It's a very important part of the site. You see, after the whole "Ghost" and "Over her dead body" issues, they decided this might help to prevent such problems.
Now when someone comes back, for example because they don't want to believe they are dead, they can go check on that page... just to be sure.
Of course, they would have to be able to operate the computer which seems hard given the fact that ghosts never seem to have to ability to touch anything (yet they don't fall through floors)...
Right.... just my 5 cents :p
