Classic Microsoft Advertisements

Aug 13

"Everybody is now familiar with the Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld Vista commercials as well as the I’m a PC commercials that Microsoft began using as retaliation to Apple’s Hello, I’m a Mac series of commercials. However, Microsoft’s advertising campaigns have a long history." The link here takes you to a list of some of Microsoft’s classic Windows advertisements of years gone by. Years when Steve Balmer wore plaid suits!

Oracle PL/SQL Sudoku Solver

Aug 19

There comes a time when the monotony of work needs a little refreshing diversion. Some of us like to relax (or frustrate) the time a way with a Sudoku puzzle which is fast becoming pandemic craze.

I enjoy solving these puzzles myself, but with a lust for a challenge, I could not resist the opportunity to develop a Sudoku puzzle solver written entirely in Oracle SQL and PL/SQL.

Geekologie

Jul 29

If it's technology or internet related, Geekologie will cover it. Plus, we even hired an actual geek to manage the site. He lives at his computer, doesn't shower, and has probably never touched a girl. Actually none of that is true, but I'm sure he's really happy that's what we're telling people.

Demotivators

At no time in history have there been more motivational resources available to the modern manager. And yet, in spite of the dazzling array of solutions sold, employee morale has reached critical lows- with the majority of workers actually reporting they hate their jobs. How did this happen? And more importantly, what can executives do about the crisis of employee discontent?

The Legend of the Rocket Car

Mar 29

Once upon a time, in some out-of-the way part of the country a maniac took a rocket of some sort, and mounted it on the back of a car. The maniac then sped down a deserted stretch of highway, and when he reached an appropriate spot, he lit the rocket. Unfortunately, the rocket proved to be far more powerful than the maniac anticipated. The car reached an incredible speed in a matter of seconds at which point the car's brakes and steering became ineffective. This development would've been bad enough on a straightaway, but through some error in planning or navigation, the maniac found himself hurtling down a road that curved sharply, not far from where he ignited the rocket. When the car arrived at the curve, it went straight ahead instead of negotiating the turn.

The Infamous Exploding Whale

Mar 29

There's been a story floating around the net for years about a beached whale that was blown up (exploded, not inflated) for lack of a better way to be rid of it. Many people thought it was an urban legend.
