Website
Two colleagues mentioned my website was looking a bit messy on the same day. The main culprit being the left-hand toolbar, which had loads of links and search tools. When you live with something for so long it can be difficult to see the wood for the trees, but when I took an objective look [...]
When I was watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull I got the distinct feeling I was watching a ripoff of The Mummy Returns, which is kinda funny since the mummy franchise was a ripoff of the Indiana Jones franchise. The original Indiana Jones films had some pretty extended and outlandish action [...]

The installation process doesn’t give you the option [...]

I’m taking the brutal approach to catching up. If the subject of an email or blog post doesn’t jump [...]
As far as the story goes, Doomsday is one of the most derivative films I’ve ever seen. The whole plague thing is very reminiscent of 28 Days Later, with a few scenes robbed from Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Rhona Mitra’s character (Eden Sinclair) was very much like Selene (Kate Beckinsale) in Underworld, with a bit of [...]
Just released an article on Table Compression Enhancements in 11g.
