A footballer would get the match ball. What does a tech dude do? Cover his mouse and keyboard in gold?

Btw. I always fear that we will run out of characters in the Unicode character set. Every time I see new smileys added, it just makes me angry 😀
If we manage to fill up the Unicode character set and we have to do conversions to "Omnicode" character set or whatever, I hope it's past my retirement 😂

Fully agree - and you can always add check constraints if you want to limit the characters that can go into a column.

That's nice! 😎

My favorite new thing is the "jdk" keyword that you can add to the patch line, e.g., "patch=recommended,jdk". This gets the very latest JDK patches, and that's very convenient for those in super secure environments.

I haven't updated my blog roll for a while, so please let me know if I'm missing out on someone. Thanks! 👍

I'm sorry to hear that. With video of the car before, it should be possible to prove that you didn't cause this. However, the time and mental capacity it takes to get through such can be brutal.
I never trust car rental companies either...

What a Thursday morning. First, a Data Pump session with new cool features and then another round of the upgrade talk. 💪

Wow - you ran from New York to Las Vegas? That's like a real world Forrest Gump.
