About Me

Usual disclaimer: the opinions I express on my blog are my own and not necessarily those of my employers. Currently earning a living working as an Oracle database designer/builder and occasional Software Architect, whatever one of those is. I am the chair of the UK Oracle User Group Development Engineering SIG (which isn't quite as sexy as it sounds).

Also known as Arfur C.
