hi @virginmedia I've been seeing this status for 3 weeks now, Support have asked me to reset my Hub and Stream boxes twice, how hard can it be? #disappointed missed 3 weeks of Chamions League and Europa League football

@MasterofIoT @VMO2News very disappointed with the Stream product, BT Sport has been stuck adding/pending for 3 weeks now... Support don't seem to understand the problem, any advice?

@Alan_R_White Although I wouldn’t hold it over the top like that, too easy to squeeze or have it slip out of your hand

@Alan_R_White Always start like that when it’s near full.

@flashdba You need to call them back, completely normal in some countries to drink tea from a glass. I think you’re playing us here 😑

@oraclebase With the proliferation of database engines in the cloud, automation is certainly essential today. We’ve had to learn new methods of deployment and maintenance over the years, my money is on us having this conversation a few more times over the next 10 years.

@joewebb Deleted cloud database, backups gone too!

Dear past/present Oracle Consultant colleagues, does Oracle Licensing permit us to test Oracle Data Guard with Oracle on #AWS #EC2 without having an Enterprise license? I want to run this #aws-quickstart, but do not wish to run foul of #Oracle's #Licensing https://t.co/uZCTvHrCkE

@flashdba @Chris_Mellor EMC selling their soul to Dell was bad, for me the rise of the NetApp Filer stands out. Maybe that was in the 2000s! 😁

@bryanrbeal What is this Wokism you speak of, I don’t know this term. I know I can look it up, better to understand it in context. 🎄

@UKLabour Outrageous, deductions should always be a percentage of net earnings or assets above an agreed threshold... in this case, let's say 7% of net assets above a £50,000 threshold

[Peter Herdman-Grant @AgnosticDBA]

@flashdba No, you’re good. Looking forward to your webinar, amazing you got @TanelPoder and Kellyn Gorman together

@swardley hi @swardley What made you choose that piano? We’ve been looking to buy a Yamaha Arius YDP-144WH.

@cxi German & Spanish - would love to communicate with friends & colleagues here in Berlin in their native languages. I know all the excuses, but seeing my 8yo speaking fluently in Polish, German & English is amazing! :)

Dad, seven years ago today you passed on. The joy and inspiration you brought to the world carries on in your legacy and in your family, friends, and fans you so loved. You lived to bring laughter and to help others. I will be celebrating your memory today. Love you forever.
