I'm an Oracle DBA.
Many years ago, I played in welsh language bands Traddodiad Ofnus and Ty Gwydr. I currently play with Cardiff Gamelan, and am trying to learn the piano (with mixed success). 
I support Crystal Palace as that's where I'm from. 
I've recently gotten around to joining the Labour Party after a lifetime thinking I should.
#Oracle has been delaying the release of Oracle23 on-prem for so long, they now just changed the name of the product (which was already available in their cloud) to Oracle 26.

It would indeed look very bad if you release Oracle23 on-prem in 2026. But I think this renaming looks even worse.

Everybody just switch to
#Postgres if possible. They actually have a yearly release schedule which they keep.

DNI if you think I’ve never heard your particular hot-take on how funny Welsh is, especially if I'm tagged into a toot by someone else.

Specific questions on Welsh grammar etc are fine, but save the “help, no vowels” / “cat fell asleep on the keyboard” nonsense for someone who won’t instablock you.

Nice article on the state of play of Avi Loeb’s claims about material found on the sea floor: submitted to journal, experts (& coauthors!) not convinced. #astrodon https://www.science.org/content/article/did-interstellar-debris-fall-sea-floor-claim-meets-sea-doubt

Dystopia Square, Cardiff this morning.

Think this snap makes it look better than it actually is.

Out of The Tunnel - Island Gardens

Photography of a Docklands Light Railway train exiting the tunnel & entering Island Gardens Station. I love all the details of the tunnel revealed by the shining lights!
