Scribbles

I've already had a website (http://web.singnet.com.sg/~hkchital {and it's predecessor http://hkchital.tripod.com} ) for a few years. I have an Oracle DBA Blog (http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com). Now, I'm creating a Scribbles blog -- miscellaneous notes, observations, comments, scribbles, raves/rants, whatever.
So ... here goes .. nothing ! (as a character in an old TV serial used to say "We shall see what we shall see").
