Times celebrates disappearing readers

No Kindle access

Just thought I'd point out that The Times isn't yet available on the Kindle. The papers that are available are the Telegraph, Mail, Independent, FT and Evening Standard, so News International seem to have skipped the Kindle as a delivery mechanism completely.

Can Windows Phone 7 help Microsoft come from behind?

Stop talking about the DDD event being a third full

Hi Tim,

While the WM7 event may have been quite empty, did you wonder why? Perhaps you should have tried to go to the London event which was heavily oversubscribed, so much so that the DDD website fell over. I did manage to get into the London event and it was completely full which paints a different picture. I'd guess that neither of the two are the true one, but please try not to base your points on developer apathy.

Mike.

Oracle support service goes MIA (again)

Glad we use SQLServer!

All actual downloads from the www.oracle.com site redirect to downloads.oracle.com; I have been trying to download the Oracle client for the last 4 days and it's been extremely annoying not being able to get it. Also, Oracle don't seem to offer any alternative ways of getting the install! We normally use SQLServer but need to connect to an Oracle DB as part of a migration, glad we're just going to rip all the data out of it and never have to actually use it! If they can't keep a HTTP site up why would we bet on them in business?
