Feedback to ZOIS

We would like to hear from you.

For now, while volumes are low, we will attempt to reply everything by e-mail (that which isn't obviously unsolicited junk, also known as SPAM). For the purposes of Copyright your query or suggestion becomes ours (ZOIS's) so that we may post it on this site (tell us if you don't want that to happen). In order to stop SPAM generally and to keep your SPAM count low we won't put your e-mail address in the credit for the feedback, unless you want us to. So, Mail Mr. OLTP your query or suggestion (or you can use the Comment Form) and tell us what you would like to see.

We've already been getting feedback from the folks using this site. I thought it would be nice for users to see that their efforts were appreciated, and to that end here's some representative samples of ...

• More Answers: Those questions and replies that have not yet been distilled into a nugget for Mr. OLTP's answers.
• Suggestions: What folk would like to see.

Sadly, all those exhortations by various companies to use their web design skills to make this site 'way-cool' with frames, scrolling-marquees and animated GIFs have somehow been overlooked.

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.
