AdSense Nonsense
I don’t have a screen-shot for verification, but a blog reader sent me email notifying me that WordPress (the site that hosts my blog) is letting Google AdSense put advertisements for Netezza on my blog posts. The reader thought I was the one doing the AdSense but I assured him that it is not I. My blogging is a non-profit effort. It is WordPress and the AdSense nonsense is the “pay” for using a “free” site.
There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch
I knew WordPress did this sort of thing on occasion, but I had totally put it out of mind…until now. So, have no fear readers, I just used some of my very own bier money to pay WordPress so you don’t have to see any ads from Oracle’s competitors any more!

Kevin,
I hope you don’t need “bier” money for a good long time!!
In English, that is. 😉 Auf Deutsch, dass ist eine ganz andere Sache!
Best,

Jah, Genau. Ich Trinke Gerne Bier, Keine Beer.

Doesn’t that make this a sponsored blog?
ROFLMAO
You got me there, Doug…the next time we Bier (it is a verb) I’ll see if I can jibe you sufficiently in return 🙂 Are you making it to RMOUG?
>> Are you making it to RMOUG?
I wish, I really do.
Carol Dacko, amongst others, has repeatedly told me that I’m really missing out on this one but I really have to skip conferences for a while and do some paid work.
But we’ll get those beers eventually – guaranteed.
