A late change of plan
This harps back to an earlier blog about being spoilt for choice regarding which laptop i was going to take with me on my jaunt to Vegas (ostensibly to attend the Oracle HCM User Group).
Anyway, through various methods of deduction, i had opted to take my Dell Vostro – a behemoth of a machine running CentOS, loaded to the gills with development tools and a full install of Oracle EBS R12.
However…I have been thinking about this during the week. I think i will not get as many opportunities to do some development work as i thought i would, principally because the OHUG agenda is chock-full of interesting sessions to attend.
So, i have had a late change of mind. How late? Well its 21:15pm the night before i fly.
I have decided to bin the heavyweight development box and instead travel with one of my Acer Aspire One’s. I shall take the HDD one (which has 2 flavours of unix) rather than the SSD version. The main reason being the SSD version is not as sturdy (i’ve had the OS go AWOL on it a few times in recent months – each time has required a full restore).
Anyway. I’ll still be able to Blog, Tweet and email 
Until next time.
