The TBC blog

I'm back to work today : )
2006 start.

I will take a holiday about one month, i will back to work in February.
Happy New Year!

I reconfigure our EMC storage CX300.

• restore to factory configuration.
  
• Change page size form 8KB to 4KB follow EMC docs suggestion about database applications(for oracle ASM).
• Increase Read Cache and Write Cache.
• Recreate RAID, LUNs etc.
  

I can configure it by IE only, because the java1.4 plugin can't work under FC4 x86_64 with gcc4 :(

Today, oracle announce project raptor early adopter release, it's a very good news for PL/SQL developers.I'm trying it from now :)
Project raptor home.

The best thing about this month is metalink merge to HTML DB, it's the biggest application over HTML DB. Cheers :)
Here is a screenshot.

Wait for it about a month, oracle finally release this version.
Now, i can configure RAC on my Linux Itanium. :)

My CPU support EM64T, so i update os to FC4 x86_64. After try some days.I think x86_64 is less stable than i386.
First, everytime i logout from Gnome, i must kill some processes like gam_server, esd etc, otherwise i will not login to Gnome(screen is black, only reboot system).
Second, firefox flash&java plugin didn't work. I search som ugly solution from fedoraforum.
From my practise, i think the main software manufacturer wasn't ready for 64bit :)
But 64bit will apply more and more, we must get ready for it :)
