Oracle to folks funded by Gates... that's funny!

Reminds me that sometimes as technical competence goes, it's not the only thing to keep your eyes peeled out for. Knowing what my clients' interests, motivations and general way of doing things can go even farther than flexing that strong technical know how to start a new client relationship.

I won't buy a new outfit if I really like the color but doesn't fit right!
