Preface

I travel a lot. And when I travel, I read a lot (sadly mostly Oracle stuff) or I experiment with my laptop. I make many discoveries as I do this. It's amazing how learning never seems to end. There is constantly something new out there. When I discover something new I like to share it. If it's a *huge* discovery and if I have *lots* of spare time I'll write an article. When one of the previous conditions returns 'false' (programmer mindset :-)) I jot it down in the "Did you Know?" series.

Of course, some of my discoveries may very well have been discovered way before by others. But this does not stop me from wanting to share though. And maybe I haven't discovered the full thing yet when I jot down something here. So if you know more, please please please tell me.
