Don’t assume The Incredible Hulk is a sequel to Ang Lee’s Hulk from 2003, because it’s not. It completely ignores the story laid down in the previous film. It doesn’t replay the creation of the Hulk. You just get some idea of how it happened during the opening credits. The cast is completely different, and [...]
Rock and Roll is born on Discworld in Soul Music and Rincewind frees the Counterweight Continent in Interesting Times.
Although both books are pretty good, by the standards of previous offerings I felt they were a little flat. Maybe some of that is down to the manner in which I read them. Most of the previous [...]
I wrote a post about Sentrigo Hedgehog some time back and suggested it would be good if and expert like Pete Finnigan could do an appraisal of the product. Pete has now done just that and I think it’s well worth the read. Check it out here.

Installfest
Tod Trichler from OTN sent me a mail this morning about a new Installfest section on the Oracle Wiki. I’m always a bit dubious about putting links to my content on the Oracle Wiki because it seems like a shameless plug, but this section of the Wiki actively encourages it, provided the links are relevant.

I woke up today with a bloodshot eye producing what could loosely be described as eye-snot. This made me think of the Pink Eye episode on South Park. Next thing I know I’m reading Jake’s post, which had a picture of Cartman on it. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
In honor of this, I’m including a [...]
I’m back from Tallinn and I’m now trying to get back into normal life. These trips make you feel important for a couple of days before crashing back to reality…
My sightseeing went well. “Old Town” at the centre of the city looks really cool and has a nice vibe. Cobbled roads, fancy churches, [...]
I’ve just finished the second day of teaching in Estonia…
I didn’t have any database issues today, which was a relief. Everything went according to plan, but it was a struggle to get all the information across in the time. I think I’ve got more than 13 hours of material and only 12 hours to present [...]
I’ve just completed day 1 of my PL/SQL workshop in Estonia. The first few minutes proved especially eventful!
When I did my workshop in Copenhagen, I had a lot of trouble with the projector. This morning I plugged the projector into my laptop and all was well. I even made a joke about how well it [...]
Just in case you didn’t see this in the news and you wanted to go to OpenWorld:

It would be a shame to get there and be refused entry!

I’ve just arrived at the Hotel in Estonia. The next two days are all work, then I’ve got a couple of days to look around.
I had a pretty early start this morning and I kept dozing off on the plane, so I feel pretty rubbish now. Hopefully I’ll get a decent night’s sleep then it’s [...]
