Digsby is my favorite twitter client and it’s really easy to know why. It’s easy to use, manage multiple twitter accounts, and also allows users to set how fast should new tweets (from friends, mentions, directs and searches) be shown in Digsby. And not to mention that Digsby also connects to and fetches updates from multiple IM network, email providers and social networks (msn, yahoo chat, gtalk, hotmail, yahoo mail, gmail, myspace, facebook and linkedin etc.).

Google’s Chrome Frame Internet Explorer Addon For The Win!
Chrome Frame, which has just entered beta, is an Internet Explorer plug-in supporting HTML and JavaScript, among other technologies or tags. Google is trying to redefine Internet Explorer on terms that suit its product and platform objectives. It’s Google’s most ambitious drive into Microsoft controlled territory ever, even more than desktop search, Exchange email sync or toolbar products/services.
For Microsoft, Chrome Frame and forthcoming Google Wave are a looming crisis of IE’s character, as expressed in end-user features and the browser’s appeal — or lack thereof — to developers. By Framing Internet Explorer, Google seizes control of the end user experience away from Microsoft. If Google can succeed widely distributing Frame, the easy step is next: Moving those same users to Chrome.

Oracle Update Installation Error: Java.exe Process Problem and Solution
Error in writing to file ‘C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\bin\java.exe’. [C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\bin\java.exe (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)]
Error in writing to file ‘C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\jre\bin\hpi.dll’. [C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdk\jre\bin\hpi.dll (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)]
The installation of Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Patch Set 3 was successful.
The above was obtained from the update installation log after doing a non-interactive (silent) upgrade installation.
And if you run the update installer interactively, this is what you might get, which is basically the same thing as above.
And surprsingly, Oracle still says the update was successful even though you will not be able to actually update the database since you will find really soon that dbua and dbca both won’t start after installing the patch/update. If you’re trying to upgrade Oracle database server and getting the above error messages (or similar), you’re not alone.
