3 Months is already passed

Today I get confirmation letter, It means I have passed my probation period. Thank GOD, It's my new life in new place is already beginning. Hopefully I can give my best in here.

Then the most important of life event is in front of me. I wish I can pass too like I passed this probation :)

Oracle SQL Developer with MySQL

Now, I always use Oracle SQL Developer as a tool to maintain Oracle RDBMS. It's free instead of TOAD that I used couple years ago. But today, I try to connect MySQL Server and by default this tool complains with error message "no jdbc driver for MySQL".

Then finally I found nice article to solve that problem. How is easy that and very simple. Now I can connect to Oracle and MySQL in one tool and one time. Great work from oracle developer.

Pidgin is one for all IM

One IM tool for all, at least it supports my favourite messenger ( Yahoo and Google). With Pidgin you can communicate and chat with all your buddy either those are from yahoo or google. All buddies will appear together in one window.

There are some feature that I loved :
1. All buddies appear in one window
2. Chat history shows in one window
3. Email remainder from each account
4. and many more , I don't have much time to explore

Forget yahoo messenger, meebo , gtalk and others if you get this one.
