Blue balloon
Blue Balloon
You saw me standing alone
All those balloons in front of Joe Hart
Without a red balloon of my ownBlue Balloon
You know just what I was there for
You heard Michael Ball saying a prayer for A FA Cup medal he really could care for
And then a ball suddenly appeared before me
The only one my feet will miss
I heard somebody scream please puncture me
But when I looked to the ref it was in the goal

I hung up and turned on the TV news to be staggered by images of the wrecked fuselage of a British Airways jumbo ...
Drupal 6 RC2 near miss
Siebel customers (and employees alike) all over the world are busy enjoying Metalink3 which has recently replaced SupportWeb. Everyone (well me, mainly) is taking great delight in taunting Oracle DBA types with incredulous cries of 'Sorry - did you say you're still on legacy Metalink2 ?' A number of readers, impressed with this bleeding edge technology and dying for more, have emailed me asking why this humble Siebel blog hasn't yet been updated to Drupal 6.0 RC2. Consequently, I downloaded the distribution for Drupal 6 Release Candidate #2 and, unusually for me, I even took the time to read ... Read moreAdsense milestone
It is just over six months since I first placed banner ads on this blog and, much to my surprise, the accumulated income has just reached $100 (which triggers the first payment from Google). As the introduction of Adsense was purely an exercise to learn how the system works and experiment with different placements and formats, I have decided to donate all proceeds to a worthy charity.
