Maybe I was just in an odd mood, but I laughed for a LONG time at this cautionary tale.
Hat tip to Dan Weinreb, who introduced me to the site by sending over a link to this funny cartoon, in response to this filksong.
About an extended outage in Lord of the Rings Online.

October 15: We know what BEA is — now it is just a matter of negotiating the price
October 25: We’ve already established what you are, now we’re just working out a price
The news in the latter is that BEA has admitted it.
Note: Of course, the original joke is so old as to be variously attributed to all of George Bernard Shaw (most credibly), Winston Churchill, and Oscar Wilde.
I’ve written a considerable amount about Vertica and/or the opinions of Mike Stonebraker. Now the Vertica guys have their own blog, which they pledge will not just be a rehash of Vertica marketing pitches — notwithstanding the Vertica-related wordplay in the blog’s name.*
*Those guys are good at wordplay.
Jim Allchin’s farewell blog post is a hoot. There’s even a bit of database stuff in it.
… unless you think that is inherently an oxymoron. I thought I was doing well catching and expanding on a clever pop culture reference. But the folks at columnar DBMS start-up Vertica Systems may have topped that with their slogan

About a year ago, I wrote a very favorable column focusing on Intersystems’ OODBMS Cache’. Cache’ appears to be the one OODBMS product that has good performance even in a standard disk-centric configuration, notwithstanding that random pointer access seems to be antithetical to good disk performance.
Intersystems also has a hot new Cache’-based integration product, Ensemble. They attempted to brief me on it (somewhat belatedly, truth be told) last Wednesday. Through no fault of the product, however, the briefing didn’t go so well. I still look forward to learning more about Ensemble.
To the melody of the classic filk song “God Lives on Terra.” Parody lyrics written in 1996.
It’s wonderful. But then, I love filk. And I also love flexible data structures.
Here are the lyrics.
A classic hacker jest, and also the best blonde joke ever.
