Stuff

Welcome to Stuff. That is non-ZOIS, nothing to do with On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP), ephemeral, off-topic Stuff. Other such trivia can be found at a family and friends web-site and slightly more on-topic stuff at a demonstration/prototyping site.

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.
