Integration Live

Its been business as usual for the last nine months. Successfully completed and cut over to production of an important integration project in first week of Oct 08. It involved integrating the retail assets portfolio of two leading banks in India. Used native SQL for code snippets for the ETL portion. Oracle databases at both source and destination but still posed several challenges. For the tech stuff read the Oracle guy's blog here.

Suse Enterprise Desktop 10

My Windows XP laptop is down and so borrowed my better half's Acer (TravelMate 2403NWXCi) loaded with Suse Enterprise Desktop 10. Great speed in rendering the TFT screen. Haven't got to configuring the WiFi and the software updater to read from the Suse Repository. Is Open Suse a better option. Looking forward to some ideas?
