A couple of people stumble across this blog searching for the History of Oracle but ultimately go away disappointed.
For those people, there is a brief but interesting timeline (covering 1977 to 2001) detailing the development of Oracle Corporation in this freely available screensaver available from Club Oracle.
The screensaver is the one titled 'Oracle Defining Moments - 25 Years of Technology Innovation'.
Another article in this occasional (and extremely popular) series.
Sorry about my homework, Sir. I have actually finished my 1500 word essay on the Black Death but when I went to print my work out last night, the folder called 'My Documents' was locked.
At first I thought my Dad was playing another of his funny, little tricks so I screamed down the stairs 'DAD - WHY ARE YOU SO ANNOYING ?'. Then I had to wait because he was watching 'The shirts of 66' and could not be disturbed.
Then my Dad had a look and couldn't get my Word document either. He muttered darkly about some hacker who had somehow accessed our PC despite him having paid good money for Norton Internet Security (which was a load of rubbish and would be going back to Dixons for a full refund tomorrow) and supposedly locking down our wireless network so securely that my Mum can no longer use it.
I summoned up the courage and asked him whether he actually could get my homework back because he works in IT and he once told me he was a 'consultant'. Or should I just start typing now.
He replied 'Hang on a minute, son. I have just found a file named 'INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO GET YOUR FILES BACK' that might be relevant'. Then he went a funny colour and shouted at the screen: 'Virus...Hackers...Ransom...Archiveus...Russian drug mafia'
Apparently, he could have got the file back but is too mean to pay the 5,000 dollar ransom demanded by the Russian hackers just for my essay on the Black Death.
So, you see, Sir that is why I haven't done my homework. I know it sounds a little far fetched but it's true.'
'Sorry. Brightside. Please stop telling lies. Detention tonight after school and I'll be speaking to your parents.'
Oh no. WordPress are now promising to add import/export functionality which is the only barrier stopping me from migrating to my own hosted WordPress.org blog.
That would open up a whole new world of plug-ins, themes, statistics...

WordPress has a total of 37 themes. I have recently fallen out with my long standing favourite and top scorer, Regulus 2.1.3, after he blatantly deceived me over the state of his CSS injury.
Consequently, I will be implementing a rotation policy (with immediate effect) to give each squad member a fair and equitable chance to stake his claim (hand in glove).
Then I will conduct a poll of all my loyal readers (both of them) to determine the winner.
Then I will reinstate Regulus 2.1.3.
You are currently admiring Solipsus 1.5 (aka Cartoon Network ).
Against my better judgement (see solitary comment), I uploaded my static list of feeds and RSS subscriptions to Share Your OPML.
'Subscriptions like Mine' tells me that my love match (with an impressive strength rating of 36.371) is none other than, Number 1, Eddie Awad.
The wedding is on Saturday July 22. Please, no presents. All donations to charity.
Obviously all loyal readers of this humble blog (from August 2005 with proof) are all invited. The remainder (Johnny Come Lately's) are on the reserve list (i.e evening reception only).
Watching World Cup Goals Galore on BBC3 which also has a fantastic music soundtrack. Some great goals and memories.
Although I get thoroughly sick of the media hype and the endless analysis, you can't help but get excited about the World Cup now.
It looks like Rooney may yet be named in the squad. It doesn't look like Carrick will play the 'holding role' but Carragher might. Let's just hope he can produce a forward pass and that he doesn't keel over with cramp in extra time.
Full fixture list, localised TV Schedules, print out and keep wallchart, pictures of the stadiums, group tables, X-rays of Wayne Rooneys metatarsal and all of this in an Excel spreadsheet.
For a man who can't even spell Pivot Table, this is a truly staggering achievement. Or maybe there isn't much to do of an evening in New Zealand.
Graham Paramore, the worldwide football community salutes you.
Maybe Dougs right. Perhaps WordPress isnt a suitable blogging platform for serious technical Web journals (with 473 lines of 10046 trace) after all.
The latest theme (Solipsus 1.5) announced for WordPress is described thus:
Black & Brown design, inspired by Adult Swim of Cartoon Network.
That's all folks !
