This was the original glitch on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08…
And here is how EA responded…

Judging applications
I was writing up some C# lately for a small tool that automated much of what I was doing. (basically some transformations on data and pushing that to oracle). As all good IT people, I love things that are efficient and make my life easy. Basically, the less time something takes, the better. No matter […]

It’s been a while…
Since I was blown away by something I saw, but yesterday evening I had one of these magical moments. Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride really got to me.
First of all, it’s got a very unique style to it. It’s not trying to be one of those realistic animation movies even though every detail is worked […]

Aangezien er nog vanalles en nog wat in m’n ijskast en keuken lag vandaag had ik zoiets van "Ik ga hier rap eens ietske koken en den bramus! inviteren voor een ad-hoc mini geek dinner". Zo gezegd, zo gedaan. Naast het eten was er uiteraard ook de gezellige babbel.

Yves Leterme vs Wallonië
Neen, niks over de Enfants de la Patrie of andere minder gelukkige opmerkingen voor een camera. Vandaag kijken we snel even naar de twitter boodschappen die Yves Leterme (notoir blackberry gebruiker) het wijde web instuurt. Naar aloude gewoonte een bericht in Nederlands gevolgd door een bericht in het Frans.
Status 1: "Blackberry werkt vanuit Roemenië. Zo […]

Unusual events
It’s only March and I’ve already had the pleasure of daylight savings time twice this year. Here in .be we call it "zomertijd" (literally: summertime), looking outside proves that daylight savings is a much better suited term.
This extra hour of messing around with my sleep anti-pattern (there’s no such thing as a pattern in my […]
