I did! Well, I had 2 walk on parts in the same scene, and even shot a gun!

But unfortunately I didn’t appear in the Close Up feature!

Nothing that I know of yet, though I expect Malthouse and Hashigo Zake to be the bars of choice by delegates. We have a discount from Dominic (the usual SOBA one) for the week of the conference I think!

To clear things up here is a great video if you have the time to listen. Zander and Larry having a chat very recently… http://cuddletech.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=1069

To the above anon post that says “I know from some big companies that have already started investing time into a possible solaris replacement based on such advice.”

wtf? This would have to be the most foolish things I have ever heard. Re-platforming would have to be one of the most expensive transition exercises I can think of right up there with physical data centre relocation. You would have to be totally out of your mind to begin such actions based upon a rumour alone…there is no doubt more to that story.

Hmm, so I guess that’s the end of Sun in HPC where neither SPARC nor Solaris are of any use..

I’ve heard stories of people who got the advice from their Sun partnered IT supplier/ISV’s, that Oracle was going to do just about the reverse of everything on that list.

Assuming that was then FUD, how did that even start to spread?

I know from some big companies that have already started investing time into a possible solaris replacement based on such advice. It seems a few months late for Oracle to respond to these rumours.

“Are they going to drop the brain-damaged MySQL thinggy ?”

I should hope not. Brain Damaged or not, MySQL is a tight, fast, efficient and most importantly affordable DB thats served the low end admirably well. Oracles a great DB , but its generally out of both the price range and the philosophical (Open source) scope of a lot of installations.

I dont care if they call it “Oracle MySQL” or whatever, as long as they keep it alive.

Oracle now is in a position to capture the low end via MySQL by applying Oracle engineers expertise to it and really making it a winning proposition. I hope they realise that.
