dang!

I go away for a short holiday and
what happens?



First:

Someone puts out a video of Oracle being "instantly"
installed. Of course, that someone forgot the lost hours
in research trying to find how many extra patches need
to be installed to get anything working, the hours lost
installing 10.2 base, then installing 10.2.0.3 on top of it
because Oracle hasn't yet merged the two into a single
install, etcetc. But the whole demented misinformation
must go on...



Second:

Sun buys MySQL (cough,splutter!...)
still trying to digest this one. reminds me of Telstra
buying Kaz 4 years ago, over here: another total wipeout
of a valuable service by demented CEOs with more cash
than brains...

Yes, I've read the comments, please do me the favour of not
patronising me: I know what I'm talking about and am old
enough to form my own opinions, don't need your
interpretation of reality!



Third:

Someone starts a chain letter through OraNA and bang:
HJR gets pissed off with what has been happening with
that aggregator for 12 months and throws in the towel!


Man, talk about over-reaction. Sorry HJ: I love you man,
but that's what it looks like to me. Of course, I respect
your decision and won't comment on its reasons. That
however doesn't mean I won't have an opinion.




Finally:

While I'm here and on the subject of aggregators and
the blogsphere (nothing to do with HJ and his reaction,
therefore),

What happened with OraNA has been happening for
more than 12 months, since the whole demented idea of
everyone commenting on everyone else's blog started:
it's completely unnecessary and redundant, stuffs up
aggregators and adds nothing to the blogsphere and
its content.

Other than taking "inconvenient" post lines off OraNA
as fast as possible.

But like so many other Oracle-marketing "initiatives", it's
been followed by the crowds with the regular, inane
and stupid "bah-bah" approach.




Well, like others pointed out: stuff it, it's not that
important what happens with aggregators.
In fact, I'm finding the whole blogsphere and Internet Oracle
info so useless nowadays that it hardly even bleeps when
something like chain letters happen.


There, I said it.



Is there no end to surprises for 2008? Darn it:
next time I'm taking a shorter holiday!



Roll on the "db2 will take over Oracle very soon"
moronic stupidity that happens like clockwork every
year, around this time...

:-)

Happy NY everyone!
