The boss just dumped a whole stack of books on our desks. Oracle 11g for dummies for me, w000t. Never done Oracle before, though I am no stranger to Databases at all (MySQL, Postgresql, MSSQL, IBM DB2)
Note to self: Dow Jones will break 10,000+ threshold within 2-4 months
Looking at past, future, and current performance of the global stock market, I estimate the Down Jones will shoot through the 10K+ threshold within 2-4 months (probably closer to 2 then to 4). The Dow Jones Index will continue it’s climb after that, unless some banks go and do something […]

remember to make backups of all your sites / content before completely reinstalling a server.
Apple videostore stupidity

And FreeBSD 7.1-RC1 official
You got to love the way they write the release announcements: “Gee. Did we really implement that new interface that way? That needs a bit more work.” So, it’s now the last few legs of the release cycle, and I’m looking forward to it. DO read the release announcement or […]
gearing up for FreeBSD 7.1
We’re only a little bit removed from the next major FreeBSD release. The branch has been tagged, and the ports-tree is (thank God!) unfrozen once again. The first Release Candidate has hit the FTP servers. I’ve been running -PRERELEASE for a while now, and haven’t found any problems so far, […]
Windows market share drops below 90%
Some historical firsts are quite newsworthy. Net Applications reports that for the first time ever, Windows market share has dropped below 90%. According to sources, this is mainly because Mac OS X is grabbing a stronger footing in the global OS market with 8.87% share. Linux, the iPhone and the […]
