My philosophy has always been: "If it stops being fun, it's time to stop doing it."
And the last thing I want to do this weekend is carry furniture, Simon! However, if I get the CTG job in Vermont (putting a Java interface on a legacy mainframe COBOL app for a telco - what a great job for Struts, eh?), you may help me carry mine.... ;-) I'm planning to finish reading Abbey, et al., "Oracle9i: A Beginner's Guide" (Osborne 2002) today (excellent introduction to Oracle DBA stuff, SQL Plus, and PL/SQL) and start on Carnell, et al., "Professional Oracle8i Application Programming with Java, PL/SQL and XML" (Wrox 2000) this weekend with the goal of optimizing the database calls our Struts application is making and set Struts up on my new host server at servlets.net. It is so easy to connect Struts to a database; it's so difficult to do it right (snuck in to stay "on topic"). Profound revelation o' the day: Everybody has a purpose in life; few have goals. Mark (also in the middle of Tilly and Burke's "Ant: The Definitive Guide" (O'Reilly 2002), also an excellent treatise). -----Original Message----- From: Joe Barefoot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 3:00 PM ...then again, I could be wrong. ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe Barefoot > Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 11:59 AM > > I think (hope) he was facetiously referring to my usage, not > yours Mark...i.e., my referencing your usage without putting > quotes around the "[sic]". > > Hey, does anyone else want to split hairs with me today?
