Comment Form

This page used to have a comment form on it. Unfortunately it was getting so heavily spammed by automated scripts, that legitimate comments were being lost in the system. After briefly toying with the idea of improving things to try and thwart this automation we've decided to abandon the form-based feedback entirely. You can still send feedback using webmaster@zois.co.uk, which itself will be bounced with a request to redirect to the appropriate 'real' e-mail.

We are sorry for making you jump through all these extra hoops, but, sadly, it is what the World Wide Web has become.

Highlights

This site is mainly about On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP). We've some other papers on this:

• Something for non-cognoscente.
• The executive summary.
• OLTP and big computers.
• OLTP and reliability.
• What Transactions are about.
• The need for scaling.
• Tuxedo.
• CICS.

Also of Interest

Juicy morsels from the rest of the site:

• Some site news; it's a sort of infrequently updated journal for the author too.
• Rather specific Technical Notes, the author can still bore people in the Historic Third-person.
• Of the little hacks that have been done recently, the Unofficial Jobcentre Plus Mirror seems to have gained the most traction.
• Other ephemeral, eclectic stuff. Mostly photographs.
• A series of Gormless Anecdotes, basically recycled e-mails.
