I agree with everything about this: The shift from procedural to OO brings with it a shift from thinking about problems and solutions to thinking about architecture. Thats easy to see just by comparing a procedural Python program with an object-oriented one. The latter is almost always longer, full of extra interface and indentation and annotations. The temptation is to start moving trivial bits of code into classes and adding all these lit..

Recruiting is difficult. Most of the top talent already have jobs and are rarely in the job market. As a recruiter (or a headhunter, or a talent scout) these are precisely the people that you should be trying to attract. There are a few simple guidelines that might help you generate genuine interest in the role you’re trying to fill. Try to build relationships with candidates, not just a contact database. I need to know that you are som....

Yeah, this isn’t one of those awesome religion or political posts I promised yesterday, but at least it’s something…

Note that the live event is over by now, but you can see the recording from Enkitec.tv On Tuesday 22nd March I’ll hold two (yes two) Secret Oracle Hacking Sessions – about ORA-04031: unable to allocate x bytes of shared memory errors, cursor management issues and other shared pool related problems (like fragmentation). This event is free for all! You’ll just need to be fast enough to register, both events have 100 attendee limit (due ..

Now, normally I’m extremely picky and accept post offers only related to technology on some level, but I made an exception because just a few days ago I was looking at our crappy mailbox (on the left) and thinking about how when I own my own home, I will have a totally a..

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post describing my first experiences with Adobe's Business Catalyst. I had been fighting with the software for a few days and was a bit disappointed with the overall experience. The post was titled 11 Reasons Why Business Catalyst Sucks, and it became a bit popular in weird way. That is: Not that many views/visitors but still a whole lot of comments. I don't usually get that many comments and on my blog ....

Technically Spring Break actually starts next week, but I’m pretty much done with school. I only had two exams - one was on Monday, the other was a take-home I did over the weekend. All I have left is to finish a paper for my Women’s Studies class. That’s the last gen-ed class I have to take.

One of the things about ranking in Search is that you need to consider all sorts of methods of working out what is relevent. Google broke new ground (although the idea had already existed) with its PageRank algorithm which supplied better search results then all the other search engines. For what I am doing however I need to consider what programmers are looking for. One thing that I considered some time ago was working out which are the mo..

As I’m finishing up a performance chapter for the Exadata book (a lot of work!), I thought to take a quick break and write a blog entry. This is not really worth putting into my Oracle Exadata Performance series (which so far has only 1 article in it anyway) .. so this is a little stand-alone article … Everybody knows that the Exadata smart scan can be used when scanning tables (and table partitions). You should also know that smart..

Added some more lists now that the feature is working correctly. List of MySQL Functions List of SQL Server 2008 Functions List of Apache 2 Directives

Today I can announce a small but possibly useful feature which is the addition of lists. They are here as way of making it easier to find what you are looking for if the main search lets you down and you want to try a browser inline search. They can also be useful if you just want to scroll through everything in a particular subject. I have the following lists already created,

Those who follow me on Twitter probably noticed the slew of Rift tweets over the past few days - mostly achievement tweets that are sent automatically from the game when I do something awesome. This is a long-overdue post about RIFT - a new MMO by Trion Worlds.


There was a question in LinkedIn forum about whether Linux Hugepages should be used in Oracle Exadata Database layer, as they aren’t enabled by default during ACS install. I’m putting my answer into this blog entry – apparently LinkedIn forums have a limit of 4000 characters per reply… (interestingly familiar number, by the way…:) So, I thought that it’s time to start writing my Oracle Exadata Performance series articles what I’ve plann..

I've been doing some Wordpress development for the last year or so. A few client projects, some personal etc. A common chore that I find myself doing is developing the sites on one server and then moving them to the next. Very often I'll be developing on a virtual machine instance on my local machine and then placing the files online later. Just copying the files and exporting and importing the database will not do, so there are a few extra..

I finished reading World War Z. As a foreword - This review is being written a bit late. I tend to forget details about a book soon after I finish reading and I have already started reading The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, so don’t kill me if I’m missing anything important or if this post seems a little scattered.

On the MySQL performance blog there was a great article posted two days ago on how to debug long-running transactions in MySQL. Long-running transactions are transactions that are left open and not committing or reverting. Maybe because of a failed/halting application or just an application that is taking long to process.

I was watching this Bloomberg interview with Y Combinator's Paul Graham ("startup god"), today. He discusses the supposed "bubble" that's been going on, valuations of early stage startups, Facebooks valuations and other similar topics. It's an interesting video also for the fact that he's being interviewed with non-startup people and it's fun to see things from the other side.

I was reading through a blog post titled "The state of HTML5 audio" and I found it very amusing. Warning.. There is profanity. Read at your own risk.

In the coming years another billion people will get online . They will do it with their smartphones instead of what we consider computers. And their experience will be quite different from ours when we initially started using the internet. Despite its promises, it looks like the post-PC ecosystem will be a lot more restrictive than the PC one was even in the worst days of the wintel duopoly . For a while it looked like software freed....

Here's a nice (old) video for those interested in scaling/infrastructure/MySQL etc. I hadn't seen it so it's interesting. It's a very detailed talk and there are some interesting bits in there. He really likes ZFS, but that's not available on linux so he's able to use it on an NAS box (it would be interesting what he'd say about XFS. He also mentions some of the highlights on his blog post. Check it out:

Ever needed the ability to track bugs and features without using a full featured bug/feature tracker? What about storing all your random notes such as server details, blog ideas, books to read, urls etc, without using a full featured CMS or the like. Want to have everything searchable and in the most platform independent format possible? Enter the BATF. I have always been a fan of the big arse text file (BATF) for keeping track of the abo..


We saw Michael Buble at Sandalford Wines in Swan Valley last night. I’ll be the first to say that I was never a big fan - but only because I haven’t really bothered hunting down and properly listening to much of his stuff before. I’ve heard a few songs and I liked them, but never really paid much attention.

As the guys at the changelog say, the world of open source is changing fast and you have to keep up.

A short while backed I talked about tactically measuring metrics for your site/company. Recently I talked a bit about methods of marketing. A large key to getting the most out of your time and money is to properly report against the intersection of these two items. First I’m going to make the assumption you’ve read those posts, if you haven’t go back and do that. Next this is heavily on the assumption that you’re using Google Analytics as y....
