The press has been having a field day recently about Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury. I’m watching his set on TV and it’s awesome. The guy is a genious and he’s got a huge field full of people eating out of his hand.
I find it pretty funny how they make a big deal about a rap act [...]
Takes a large dose of John Woo, inject it with steroids and give it a crack habit. What do you get? Wanted.
It’s uber violence that resembles a live action cartoon, kinda like Shoot ‘Em Up! Don’t go looking for story or even sense. Just enjoy the messed up freak show.
It’s wrong on so many levels [...]
Some more OCP upgrade exam revision notes:
Automated Database Maintenance Task Management in Oracle Database 11g Release 1
I’ve tried to avoid getting caught up in a discussion of the scheduler and resource manager as this would make the article massive.

It would appear that when I [...]
I’m still trying to work my way through the 11g new features for the OCP upgrade exam. I’ve had so much going on recently that I’m still only about 2/3 of the way through the syllabus. Here’s the latest installment.
Automatic Memory Management in Oracle Database 11g Release 1
I guess I need to write about 10 [...]
I’ve revised my SQL Access Advisor article to include the new featuers available in 11g. The new version is here:

Or should I say The (not) Happening!
I’ve liked most M. Night Shyamalan stuff, but I really didn’t get on well with this film. It’s really just a non-event. The story can be summarized in 1 sentance. The acting is pretty lame. It’s not scary, interesting or though provoking. I really don’t know what happened during [...]
