Yikes
I’m glad to be on early shift today and tomorrow, and then on Holiday on Wednesday….it’s only 4 days until the big day….Yikes!
Oracle 10G RMAN Error
The following RMAN error was received when running a compressed backup of a 1TB+ database on Oracle 10.1.0.4.0 on Solaris 9.
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script full_backup
RMAN-03002: failure of backup plus archivelog command at 07/22/2010 05:31:40
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17114], [0xFFFFFFFF78900020], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kgh_heap_sizes:ds], [0xFFFFFFFF78900010], [], [], [], [], [], []
Recovery Manager complete.
This appears to be an issue with this particular environment (OS and/or Oracle version) however nothing was logged in /var/adm/messages to suggest a hardware issue.
Solution: remove RMAN compression from the backups. Removing compression also had a vast performance improvement.
More testing
So it looks like the Twitter to Facebook app is finally working again - here’s a test to see if it really does what it says on the tin….
Bring on the oats
I think Scotts so Easy is far superior to Oats so Simple, and definitely worth waiting that extra microwave-minute for a decent bowl of porridge! It’s great to have a bowl with some substance in it, not some mushy puree’d oat soupy stuff.
Yummy!
Nom nom nom?
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Cadbury’s chocolate tastes different these days? Perhaps the new owners have an ulterior motive…
Things that are currently bothering me:
After recently having the pleasure of reinstalling my PC (Windows 7) and my work laptop (Windows XP), I encountered the following wonderful programs that have tried to install loads of software that I don’t actually need.
Windows live essentials (I only wanted Messenger)
- Photo
- Tries to set your home page and search provider
- Windows live upload tool (hidden)
- Windows live sign in assistant (hidden)
- IE Toolbar
- Other Crap
- Always loads “Windows live today” by default
CutePDF
- Ask toolbar
- PDF Complete
Skype
- Google Toolbar
- Mysterious “add-in for internet explorer
- Skype Toolbars
Flash Player & Acrobat Reader
- Google Toolbar
To put it in perspective, if I’d gone with the default options I would have 2 PDF readers, 3 Internet Explorer tool bars, and a strange plugin that I know nothing about….none of which I actually need!
Also, I had the wonderful pleasure of finding out that, somehow, I have managed to crack my laptop screen on the way to work. Waah :)
Anyone else have any programs they’d like to add to the list?
