Erstes Tischtennisspiel erfolgreich überstanden. Eine absolute Zitterparty über die volle Distanz von 16 Spielen. Das Abschlußdoppel hat es dann gerissen!
Der einzige Nachteil: >3h Spielzeit...
Immerhin ein schöner Anfang, aber ob das so bleibt...

Perry Rhodan: Start des neuen Zyklus...

Als Kind hatte ich irgendwann mal in der Bücherei diese silbernen Bücher entdeckt. Sciene Fiction-Bücher mit einem Hologramm vorne drauf. Absolut faszinierend...
Vor ca. 1 Jahr hat ein Kollege mir angeboten, die aktuellen Hefte (er hat ein Abo) mitzulesen. So habe ich den Terranova-Zyklus komplett gelesen und heute ist der Start für den nächsten Zyklus:
Die Negasphäre

Wer absolut nicht weiß, was/wer Perry Rhodan ist:

What a strange world...
Have you read this press release?

IBM promotes Solaris on its xSeries server. Wow...
First SCO looses its battle against Linux and now IBM sells Solaris on its servers. What will happen tomorrow?
AIX on SPARC? MacOS on Itanium? MS Office on PalmOS?

Everything is possible ;-)

Oracle DB 11g: Native Webservices

Hi,

i found a nice blog about the native webservice support of Oracle database 11g. It is quite amazing.
You just have to write the right PL/SQL package and after that you can access it via an URL (the example in the blog is: http://server:port/orawsv/SCOTT/EMPCOUNT?wsdl).
I think Oracle has added the Java standalone webservice stack from the Oracle Application Server into the database.
Very nice!

The never ending story is ending? (SCO vs. Linux/IBM

Just fresh from www.groklaw.net:

Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights. This seems to be the end for SCO... No more license fees from other companies and the chances for the condemnation of IBM are vanishing.

MAMI

Hi,

view days ago some former members of the X1-collaboration met in a pub. We just talked about the old days of working at MAMI at the Institut für Kernphysik Mainz. Our tutor Prof. Dr. Backe is since a year emeritus and still joining collaborations with other groups and institutes.
Here you can find a list with all his students (diploma & phd) which worked in his X-ray group. I am sorry to say, that there is no such link for his "Amaritium-group". Most of his students left science but some have made their way on other institutes and universities....
