My re-designed website ;)

2 Replies

Since long time i have been struggling to learn CSS and make my website look great. The efforts did succeed but not in a way i wanted. After playing with CSS for few months i finally switched to Joomla and yes, in a week my website looks pretty cool. CSS automated 😉 . Joomla installation is pretty next-next job. Then play around a bit and you are done. Next game is to choose a nice looking template according to your taste and addition of few extensions to make yours tasks easier. (WordPress & Joomla rock because of these free extensions). So after long time i feel satisfied with the way my website looks. Here are the screenshots of the old and present new look for archives 😉

Joomla rocks !!!

A small post to let everybody know that I am alive 😉 .

Few weeks back, in office we were looking at one procedure which was supposed to do a lot but if executed it finished in a sec (or less 😉 ). I started looking into it and just opened the procedure and started scrolling to find that the last line of the very first cursor read:

where 1=2;

Wonderful !

OTN forums suck ?

Leave a reply

Okay, so kids have stopped crying as they got some milk from their mommy: forums are better now (than when came back after an upgrade). There are reasons that it takes time for the things to be smooth. Fine. But what drives me mad is the way Oracle handled this and now ? The font size and those bloody bullets on left side which tell you if you have read the post before ? Please let me know if someone can interpret what those bullets tell and can read the forum without doing Ctrl + in Mozilla/Chrome and suffering from reading everything in large font size in IE 6 ?

Is Oracle a bunch of duffers ? Can’t they see these two simple things ? And i don’t think that these simple changes call for editing some code written in assembly language ?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr………..

OTN forums – 2nd upgrade attempt

4 Replies

Well, as everybody has seen, last week they have again upgraded the OTN forums. And sadly it has been handled in a very poor manner. End result is that it is running terribly slow and throwing some errors many times. In my office, i cant even open it properly may be its too heavy or some issue with the internet. Also there has been lots of hues and cries about the new point system and all. That in my opinion is fine except that speed at which forums are running should be fine.

But Oracle itself handling an upgrade like this is really bad. It should have happened in a sweet manner. Or no money comes from OTN, so no experts out there ?

Since the upgrade, i am not feeling like posting and i think number of posts have also gone down.

Lets hope for some improvements…

Lotus notes and sametime

Leave a reply

My company uses Lotus Notes for email and Sametime connect as messenger for all the internal communication. Both are stupid applications and are a big resource hogs. Most of the systems are P IV with 512 MB RAM. You just run Lotus and Sametime 7 and it eats up everything. The system moves like a 386 based machine.

Moreover, i was looking for Lotus short cuts today and found that there is no short cut in Lotus for Send/Receive mail.

At our client’s site, i have seen IBM people having kept an exe killnotes.exe on their desktop which they use to quickly exit from Lotus. What bullshit ?

Outlook/Outlook Express rocks, seriously !
