Announcing Finale (The End) March 31, 2008

SORRY TO DISAPPOINT, BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS WAS SIMPLY AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE !!!
After much thought, I’ve decided to finally retire from being an Oracle DBA.
Previously, I had hoped to delay this difficult decision, but I’m sure the time is now right.
Recent events have convinced me that I’m just not suited to this role and all this Oracle tuning stuff is too damn hard.
In fact, if you read some of the stuff I’ve written here, it’s clearly not right that I should continue.
Little by little I’ve come to the realisation that it’s best if I simply just call it a day.
Fortunately, some of the recent comments here have really helped me to see the light and for that I sincerely thank them.
Ordinarily, I would try and battle on, but it’s just got to be all too hard for me.
Only time will tell if I’ve made the right decision.
Let me however say a big thank you to all of you who have supported me over the years, it’s been much appreciated.
So that’s it folks, I going back to working in the adult film industry, all the very best for the future …

Well I understand. It might take another day before it dawns on readers in the US though.

Sorry to see you leave the Oracle community but good luck in the new venture.
I hope things are just as ‘hard’ in the adult film industry as that surely could represent a significant advantage.

Richard,
I am sorry to see you so completely deranged. First, you use a Doors title in your subject line and then you throw away all that I admired you for (and, worse, maybe go back to porn *shudder*). This is such a sad day. Of course this cannot possibly be an April Fool as the publishing date of this entry reads “March 31, 2008”. I am so sad.
*sigh*
PS: Will you at least leave the comment function of your blog open so we can wallow in the good old times? Pleeease.

Aw nuts, another Australian blogger stops blogging. At least you gave us the chance to completely leech your website after your announcement. 🙂
So thanks for all your articles and good luck in your endeavours.

Don’t worry guys / mates / etc. I just mirrored the site with an unofficial prog thingy. I will let you know the new domain name asap if and when this site would / will go down. I will put the new domain online with the info posted here, if it needs to be necessary. No worries, everything is still under control.
