i <3 tab completion, coloured grep, and coloured ls, however i would love to see coloured tab completion. what would this entail? imagine you have files: “apply”, “applied” and “applications” in a directory, and you typed: “cat ap”

i thought grep was broken, but it’s not. see below: james@dazzle:~$ echo $0 bash james@dazzle:~$ echo 'hello world' > .hello james@dazzle:~$ grep 'hello world' * james@dazzle:~$ grep 'hello world' .* .hello:hello world james@dazzle:~$ shopt | grep dotglob dotglob off james@dazzle:~$ shopt -s dotglob james@dazzle:~$ shopt | grep dotglob dotglob on james@dazzle:~$ grep 'hello world' * .hel..

A casual puzzle game designed for children. Help free the eponymous Bumps by moving them into place, clicking “go”, and then watch as they roll and bounce around. Try to place the Bumps so that they collect all the keys to free their trapped friends! Though remember that each Bump can only collect the keys corresponding to its colour. Try and complete all 99 levels. Where to play? There’s typically a few second hand copies floating aroun..

Alex Gorbachev invited me to speak at Oracle Meetup @ Sydney event in April. I in addition to useful (and less cool) stuff I showed some useful (and very cool) stuff there too. I demoed my PerfSheet tool and also something completely new what I’ve been working on for last few months. Alex has uploaded couple of videos in to youtube, if you’re interested what I’ve been up to in last few months, check them out here:

Scripts for showing execution plans via plain SQL and also in Oracle 9i

Hi all, Here are few scripts which allow you to query SQL execution plans and their execution statistics out from V$SQL_PLAN and V$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS yourself. Why would you want to do this as there’s the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR() function in Oracle 10g? Well, my scripts work also on Oracle 9.2. Also they give you better detail (and flexibility) compared to DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR. Of course in 9i there’s the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY....

Due to many recent events, which I’m sure I’ll disclose later, I’ve been in an interesting situation of a good bit of leverage. While leverage can of course be taken advantage of and misused, it also plays a very fair role in business. When hiring a new college graduate in most cases you take the offer you are given, some are able to negotiate for a higher salary, but most are quite unsuccessful. This is because they don’t have any leverage....

The last couple of months have been full speed and not much time to reflect and write. The fact that we’re pair programming on the team gives me less time to think about great blog subjects. As an architect, it’s hard to find enough time to complete a meaningful unit of work without doing the dreaded “architect-commit-and-run” move. However, I found that when I have time to program, the pair programming culture on our team works really well..

So, when creating a WordPress blog, even if you are editing in HTML mode, WordPress includes a feature called "wpautop" that will replace any pair of line feed characters in your post markup with a tag. This is helpful I think in general for people who blog mostly paragraphs with some links and images. However, if you blog with more complex markup, this can invalidate your HTML. I run my HTML through the W3C HTML Validator to check it....

I bought a new car this fall and a few months later I got a follow-up survey in the mail from Maritz Research. Having a few pieces of feedback to give, such as the orange readout on the Bose sound system being invisible through Sunglasses, I endeavored to fill it out. Holy SAT Test, Batman! The survey is nine jam-packed, small-font pages long. There are 76 officially numbered questions, but many questions involve dozens of individual line-i....

Today I saw a cool device in a data centers that needs no electricity

I saw a cool device today. One of my customers manages data centers and they have a new data center and need to connect it to their old ones, so they’ve bought/rented some “dark fiber” between their data centers and have fiber multiplexers at each end so that lots of fiber-optical devices at each end can all talk to one another over this single dark fiber. (Or something like that – I don’t know too much about networking equipment!)
