Since I frequently write scripts, live at the command line, and write basic java or php code, I wanted a way to insert code snippets into my blog without breaking the formatting of the page. I found the Code Filter module for Drupal, recommended by Scott Howe. Let's see how it works...

We are currently discussing plans to migrate our 4 node Oracle Real Application Cluster database to 64bit hardware, along with upgrading to the latest 10g release. This will be a long process that I will document over the coming months here at stevencrowder.com.

The first part of the migration will be deciding how the downtime will be allocated, and how the process will proceed. Do we want to do all 4 nodes at once? Do we migrate 2 nodes, bring them back into the cluster, and then do the other 2? Is that even supported?

I will answer these questions and more very soon.

For a while I've been using Wordpress to handle the content for my website, but it lacked the flexibility I needed. It can be used as a content management system, but it was really limited to blog style content. I wanted something a bit more flexible, so I've switched over to drupal. I'll be using it for a while to see how well it works.

That's all.
