Leaky Bike

by lunc

A Week of Revelations

by lunc

I’ll say up front that I haven’t, in fact, had a quiet word with God about a career move, although what with the way the last week has gone it wouldn’t surprise me that if I had a sudden new love of dogma, kneeing and a much reduced reading list (OK, actually this would surprise [...]

555 Days In

by lunc

No I haven’t managed to say inside for 555 days in a row.  Even when I’m old and retired I don’t think I’ll be allowed that luxury.  No in this case, I’m 555 days into my 1001 list with 38 tasks completed.  Of the remaining tasks about 50% are in progress one way or another [...]

List 101 Blues

by lunc

I nearly deleted my list 101 page.  When I drew it up I told myself that it is a bit of fun (and I bunged a few funny things on it) and that I would enjoy completing it and that, for the more difficult tasks, it would remind me to keep on it and encourage [...]

Is My Consultant Oracle DBA Any Good?

by lunc

You’ve hired a consultant Oracle DBA , either because you decided that Oracle isn’t that different to Microsoft Access and so your secretary could manage the new APPS installation as well as anyone yet it all went Pete Tong very fast, or because the consultant that sold you “a complete business re-engineering solution that maximised [...]

More Wordplay Jokes

by lunc

There are so many, it seemed a shame not to devote another post to some of them. Like this old classic, that should be taught to every linguistic student: A panda bear walks into a pub and asks the landlord for some bamboo. The landlord, although a little stunned, cuts some stalks from a bamboo [...]
