U2--superb..

I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street.
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Oh, let's go.

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality.
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die.

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday..

Oracle R12 on Vista

Oracle R12 is not certified on vista for a reason, it is darn well difficult to install. I have managed to get past the install screen with some tweaking on the installation script which basically fools java into thinking that it is windows XP. But as of now, i have a corrupt oracle apps stage area (i hope), I will sort this out asap, then attempt yet another install.

Oracle Ebs R12..

I have been working/playing with that monster for quite some time now. Indeed it is a large and complex project. We have installed that on a 'clean' windows 2003 machine with quad core/4GB ram, 200GB HD. Still after a while we get the 404 http error. we have not found out the root of the problem as yet. we feel that it may to do with the service starting in different order. (we attempted to install solarwinds on that same test environment). I will keep u posted.

p.s: ebs requires:- cygwin, (the modifications of the exes for cygwin), java installed, space...

'Spin'

I have got some stuff from the amazon crowd. I have just finised 'spin'. I would not say it is a world changing book, but it does the trick in making us ponder on the finite nature of us. We are finite biologically speaking and species speaking. Finite, cause the sun will become a red giant in one billion year, the universe will expand forever and making the world around a cold and dire place. But, hey we still go SGA so why bother :-)

Windows 2008

I have installed the latter on one machine (dual core, 1GB RAM). so far so good nothing major, except there are some changes to the interface and changes in the way the 'role' of the machine can be affected.

I will do some test on the following:-

1. performance evaluation as compared to XENapp
2. Test of Oracle 11g on it (not certified as of 08/04/2008).

The Road.

I got that book after reading a review from salon.
I thought this item was about survival, indeed it was, but the writing was so nihilist that i went numb after a while. Although the scenery was not repetitive i wonder how bad it meant to portrait an unknown catastrophy. Finally no clue on what happened in the world, but it looks to be a neutron bomb war of some kind or some solar eruption of some kind killing all life. probably the latter rather than the former.

scared Sh1t !

I used to be scared before..watching stuff like blair with project, read salem's lot etc. But, i was in for a ride with that one. I can say one thing..'mind over matter'. the movie, well it is a sam raimi anyway, is very well done with a possibility of it happening when you are 'out there' on your own.
