ah AH! :-)

It is odd how things can come around. [..]

How true. It seems that it’s not only impossible to know when fame will strike, it’s also almost guaranteed to come from an angle that would never have been expected. :-)

Well, aaaactually: http://www.amazon.ca/Acad%C3%A9mie-chasseurs-primes-t-01/dp/2845961057/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259957349&sr=8-1

You should write a book. And when you do, let me know, and I'll show you where all my code snippets are! :-) Nice story and very well written! You should write a book. And when you do, let me know, and I’ll show you where all my code snippets are! :-)

It is odd how things can come around. I was beta testing Oracle 10 many years back and got a call off the coordinator. I said it was going well, we had it installed and the database up in 20 minutes and then went into some technical details. Oracle 10 went live and I kept seeing how "you can have it up and running in 20 minutes". Was that me? Had someone else said it? I never decided. Anyway, it was not true, the beta could be installed and running in 20 minutes, took us 3 days to get the production version to fly!
