Ok, so we all know there’s The Oracle Way and The Wrong Way (at least according to Oracle DBAs who aren’t me). Well, today I had to renew the SSL cert for an iAS installation. This isn’t something that would make me think twice – I’ve been dealing with SSL setups since 1996, or thereabouts,

Since I was no bigger than a weevil they’ve told me I was evil that if bad was a boot then I’d fit it. I’ve been a wicked little lady but I’ve been trying hard lately ah, f**k it I’m a monster I admit it. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – The Curse of
