‘Every club knows they will have an equal chance of being treated unfairly.’ Quote from Richard Scudamore (Chief Executive Premier League) The proposal is for an additional competitive Premier League fixture to be played around the world. Although the top 5 clubs will be seeded, this still allows for the possibility of United drawing Derby at home (in Beijing) while Arsenal visit Liverpool (in Los Angeles).
Last night, I took Norman Junior III to visit the new, improved Wembley stadium last night to see England play Switzerland in a friendly. After paying homage to Sherlock Holmes, we changed at a packed Baker Street for the fast Metropolitan line to Wembley Park. We stood on the platform as one train departed and I was just contemplating whether we should ‘go for it’ when the next train arrived or step aside and wait for the next one....

Since accumulating 9 penalty points, Norma has been very worried about the possible consequences of my irresponsible actions and dangerous driving. A driving ban would have severe, wide reaching consequences for my glamorous job in IT consultancy, affect our busy social life not to mention the logistics of ferrying the kids to all their hobbies. After lodging an appeal with Surrey Traffic Police, I gleefully accepted a place on a half-day ‘Speed Awareness Workshop’....

Joomla! 1.5 has been released and installed over here. Drupal 6 hasn’t been released but that didn’t stop me upgrading this blog to 6 RC2. I never thought I would say this but I think I am starting to get Twitter. Blame Tim Hall. FTP - Siebel had an FTP site for exchanging files with customers. Oracle has an FTP site for exchanging files with customers. Unsurprisingly, Oracle are standardising on the latter....
Last Thursday, 152 people (16 crew and 136 passengers), in addition to a significant number of people living in Hounslow, narrowly escaped death when a British Airways flight from Beijing (BA038) was forced into an emergency landing at Heathrow airport. Several things struck me about this incident and the aftermath: After a phone call to update me on all the domestic news and gossip, my wife somehow negated to impart this tidbit of useful and relevant information....
Siebel customers (and employees alike) all over the world are busy enjoying Metalink3 which has recently replaced SupportWeb. Everyone (well me, mainly) is taking great delight in taunting Oracle DBA types with incredulous cries of ‘Sorry - did you say you’re still on legacy Metalink2 ?’ A number of readers, impressed with this bleeding edge technology and dying for more, have emailed me asking why this humble Siebel blog hasn’t yet been updated to Drupal 6....
It is just over six months since I first placed banner ads on this blog and, much to my surprise, the accumulated income has just reached $100 (which triggers the first payment from Google).
