Flashback

by lunc

Recently I’ve been drawn back to gotpoetry.com.  In a small way I helped shape that place – a very small way indeed however enough that I have a silly sentimental attachment to it, with the emphasis mental.  I now take a silent role – reading and rating anonymously and posting the occasional haiku in the [...]

Day 1000

by lunc

So tomorrow is the last day of this 1001 days.  I certainly won’t complete all the 101 tasks and it is doubtful that I will complete any more at all.  I may have a rush of energy and skip though one or two over the next 36 hours but I think that mostly I feel [...]

Another Two Done

by lunc

Another month has passed and I’ve completed another two tasks.  I had to cheat a bit on the Burns Night dinner by actually having it at home myself.  That’s good enough I reckon since I can’t go to one nearby and anyway the next one won’t be until after the 1001st day is up. So [...]

Happy New Year?

by lunc

Will it be a happy new year?  Well, I hope so and on the code front things look good.  Firstly Xmarks was saved at the last minute and I’ve switched back immediately without issue.  Lets hope that they stay afloat because the alternative wasn’t so nice.  Secondly Drupal 7.0 (D7) has been released.  I’ve wanted [...]

Over half way there!

by lunc

I’ve completed 51 things on my 101 list.  Yay!  Er you don’t seem too impressed.  Fair enough.  It’s not like they were all world changing events – not for you anyway.   For me, well, OK perhaps world changing would be over egging it a bit, but all very nice things to have achieved.  Glad to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
