Writing

Tardate 11.2

This is my technical blog. Generally a diary of tips, scripts and tools for some of the more interesting things I'm playing around with, and the occasional soapbox post on cloud computing, innovation, design, management practices, and development methodologies. Tends towards an eclectic mix of Oracle, Open Source, Web design and development topics.

Reading

I'm an avid reader and listener to audiobooks and podcasts, and a National Library of Singapore fanboy.

I use bookjetty to track my reading ( see my library on bookjetty here ), and will often write about books that made the most impression on the It's a Prata Life blog.
