Scottie Doesn't Know

I like my English name "Scott" even better when I saw the movie, "Eurotrip". It's really a must, especially by any chance you are one close friend of any "Scott".

This clip is one of my favorite scene from this movie. Our protagonist Scott was dumped by his hot girlfriend Fiona, and his father videoed his desperate plea in the very beginning of the movie. Like usual, the funny parts are always built on other people's suffering. So Scott's younger brother played his plea repeatedly, mocked him, and imitated his plea. It's really a fun time for the boy, epecially when he had the chance to bully his elder brother.

Another climax in the movie is the performance of the new boyfriend, for whom Fiona has cheated Scott for a long time. The guy made out with Fiona publicly on the stage and gave us a song, which told us every detail they did behind Scott's back. Yes, to my surprise too, it's Matt Damon.

Just like the Scott in the movie, no, I don't know, either.

Scott Scottie Scottland

        I wish I am as brave as a Scotsman, as strong as a highlander warrior.

        Most English names have their own meanings behind them. Some are saints' names, some are angels' names, and other names come from various sources. I picked the name "Scott" , because I like the NBA star Scottie Pippen for his team spirit and energy. One day I checked the meaning behind the name "Scott" on the Internet ...and found that it means Scotsman. Yes, a man from Scottland and also another meaning, the painted warrior. Have you ever seen the movie, "Braveheart"? An epic movie about the history of Scottish people fighting for their freedom and independence.

        OK, it's just something came to my mind when I listened to this music clip. Thank you for reading my nonsense. Let us keep our minds both independent and free. Sure, we have to be brave.

中國文學賞析作業

Life's a struggle.

2008中國舉辦了奧運
煙花都很燦爛,世界都在歡呼，
壯觀美麗以饗我們的眼睛
所有國家都很興奮，準備著迎接比賽

贊助商都很高興，加入喧譁，
比賽順利進行，獎牌源源不斷，
所以我們把公理賣掉，翻開歷史的新頁，
就在一頁假的新啟蒙時代開始之後，
點燃自由的火炬，並且在此階段燒光所有的道德，
原來每個國家都有價格是真的，
我們賣掉了我們的同情心，藏起了這個恥辱，
然後假裝正義已然伸張。
忘記壓迫，然後好好慶祝，好像這一切都是值得的。
噢，那個欺負人的得到握手，還有來自各處的讚美。
對於人類犯下的罪行被忽略，好像並不存在一樣，
公理還不會贏得任何獎牌，
因為我們都好好地坐著。
而他們艱困的日子依然，
是，我們都好好地坐著，
而他們艱困的日子依然。

中國的知識份子研習了醬缸陋習,
自己日子過得好就忘記這個社會上還有許多日子過的很辛苦的人,
社會上有許多自詡為知識份子菁英的人,
他們藉著自己的聰敏,藉著自己的口才伶俐,
藉著手裡握有的媒體工具,
為了自己的利益或政治取向去當資方和政府當局不義的打手,
不斷的對社會廣播著,洗腦著.
於是,許多自詡為知識份子的人,
忘了自己也是人,和這些困苦的人沒什麼不同.
催眠自己是知識份子是菁英的一員.
是高人一等的.

醒醒吧!知識份子沒有比較了不起!

在這個時代,資訊爆炸跟競爭更激烈的時代,
這個世界需要什麼樣的菁英?
能夠站在弱勢的角度去考慮事情的菁英.
能夠聽到勞方聲音的菁英,
能夠真正奉行所有人是平等都該受重視的菁英!!!

ORACLE APP R12 Install, Patch, and Maintain

https://scottengnote.blogspot.com/2008/06/oracle-app-r12-install-patch-and.html

https://scottengnote.blogspot.com/2008/06/oracle-app-r12-install-patch-and.html

荒廢了很久,也很久沒想過要再拿張認證了,
有時候覺得不是自己學什麼決定自己去念些什麼.
反而常常是來了什麼工作,於是又再投入進去.

從前的階段性任務一段一段,完成後好像都沒留下些什麼?這點實在不是個當IT或是任何知識性產業工作者該犯的錯誤.我又特別的糟,不是寫在書上,就是都用PAPER印出來筆記寫在上頭,時間一久,要用到或是朋友問起,都只剩下很微薄的回憶,然後從亂七八糟的文件堆裡翻,常常最後又求助於萬能的GOOGLE,枉費了念過測過整理過的一些東西.

這次K老大( 我以前公司老大,很厲害,由其是唸人,XD ) 非常好心的給我一個機會,於是我踏入除了ORACLE DB外,ORACLE的另外一塊天地,坦白說有點惶恐,因為除了有基本的DB觀念及UNIX的基本操作外,我對ORACLE APP R12實在是陌生倒不行.

我這個人,做事情其實不是挺行學東西也沒很快,不過既來之則安之,最少不要以後被人家說,喔有用過ORACLE APP R12怎麼什麼概念也沒有啊!以下的內容來自於oracle官網的Oracle EBS R12 Applications Database Administrator Certified Professional考試編號1Z1-238,沒打算去考,只是拿這個當一個學習的大方向.(html 弄TABLE太麻煩了,所以用Google Docs XD)

接下來要再接再厲把每個章節我有用到的給整理下來.希望能夠越來越上手
