This is so Wrong – WiiWare for the Wii !

As if a Wii owner / user is not yet tempted enough, regarding those cool games. For instance, I was able to get one of those very rare shiny Wii Boards (for the Wii Fit game, amongst others) and the first thing I see after finally being able to setup my wireless connection with my …

BEA available on Oracle E-Delivery

I have no idea when they made it available but, while searching on Oracle E-delivery for a complete Oracle BPA package, I saw that a lot of BEA software can be downloaded via Oracle’s E-Delivery channel. It look like it concerns all BEA software packages, although I don’t know their full product stack by heart. …

Quering RSS Feeds The XMLDB Way

Actually this is old stuff (2006), but it got lost in a comment section. I think this can still be useful to some and I also post this here for prosperity. Somewhere in 2006 my colleague Lucas Jellema wrote a post on the AMIS Technology site about querying rss feeds from the database. My colleague …

WordPress LightBox Plugin Trouble – Part II

I just couldn’t find it. I searched a lot on the internet but couldn’t find a solution for my problems described in my post “WordPress Plugin Trouble“. So hopefully am rid of it now, while switching back to the old version off Lightbox JS v2.2. Hopefully this won’t cause any issues anymore in Windows Internet …

Farwell to One of the Best Goalkeepers We Ever Had in Holland

Edwin van der Sar last championship game has been played. Again as “Man of the Match” regarding the Dutch team; brilliant and needed saves all over the place during the game against Russia. His first championship match was in 1995 and until now he played for Holland 128 times. Tonight his last game was played, …

They Were The Best; They Deserved It All The Way…

Of course disappointed, but what can I say… They deserved it 100%. They worked harder, they had the better chances, they were the better team, they made the goals that were needed. Guus (my county fellow man, also a “Achterhoeker”), Varsseveld will be proud again. Holland – Russia: 1 – 3 Chapeau. Mr. Guus Hiddink. …

Trying To Break the Romanian Wall

The Romanian played as expected, via a strong defensive, trying to counter. They hadn’t really a good chance in the first half and the moment they had to score, Italy made their first goal via a penalty against France. Romania lost the initiative in the second half so the Dutch bench players had the possibility …

WordPress Plugin Trouble

I got some issues with the Slimbox 1.52 WP plugin. This WP Plugin is based on lightbox. Whatever I use, every lightbox variant is giving me the same trouble by giving errors “Operation Aborted” while using Windows Explorer (V7). Somehow my URL gets extended with an extra “dot” like the following faked URL of this …

I finally got my “Brul”-shirt !

Yesterday was horrible. No point at all, yesterday, during the DG Tournament bets. Portagal lost (what were they doing?) from Switzerland and Turkey won from the Czech Republic in the final moments… Against all odds but a nice game. In the meanwhile; The Dutch started believing in their team. The following commercial will be nothing, …

I Don’t Get It…?!

What can I say? I was amazed! I am thrilled! Where does this come from? There wasn’t even time to moan about the offside of Theiry, because Robben made a magnificent goal only a few moments later on. Where does this come from? Holland – France: 4 – 1 Click on the picture to enlarge …
