| Just found this going through old pictures: Stanley meets one of his brothers at UKOUG. |

| Then went to Facebook and found Kyle Hailey had published this picture from the ClosedWorld 2012
conference. I hope I am never so miserable about being with good friends again. ;-) |

If you have been looking for something funny to start your day ... here's my contribution.
I found this with a google search reviewing lots of crazy speculation about Database 12c which I have been Beta testing for many months.
Here's the line I just love: "It also wasn't clear Sunday whether Oracle will soon launch a beta program for 12c"
Which was published 30 September, 2012 by ComputerWorld.
Click here to read the original
"Soon launch?"
ROFLMAO!

From time-to-time people try to define terms such as VLDB (Very Large
DataBase) and those definitions change along with our use of technology. I am feeling the need to define older desupport-mode
versions of the Oracle database in some manner so the following table is my key to these versions.
| Keyword |
Version Number - Description |
| Currently Supported and Fully Patched |
Version 11.2.0.3 or 12.1. |
| Currently Supported |
All versions equal to or greater than 11.2.0.1 |
| Neolithic |
Versions 11.1.0.6 and 11.1.0.7 |
| Jurassic |
Versions 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.5 |
| Permian |
Anything 9i |
| Devonian |
Anything 8i |
| Pre-Cambrian |
Anything Pre 8i |

Tonight I am sitting here re-reading a book I haven't touched in more than 35 years:
Isaac Asimov's "The Gods Themselves." And I am struck by how appropriate is the book's dedication which I repeat here for everyone
that find's this page.
