Amusing error messages

So far in this blog I have not posted at all about what I do for a living. I've only posted about one of my many hobbies. But today I ran into something I wanted to share. I could go on and on about how I could share it (Facebook, Yammer, emails to hapless co-workers, emails to hapless friends, drone on and on to my wife about it) but I won't. Much. Instead, I'll post it here. Here where it can quietly sit where few, if any, will see it. But I can always go back and get a chuckle about it. Anyway, what I do for a living is write software. I am a software engineer. I've created software in a number of different languages: Pascal, COBOL, C++, Visual Basic, Java, C# - probably others I am forgetting - and I've been doing it for over 17 years now. Strange, but true. This blog is about stuff I make. Software is stuff I make, right? Okay, boring stuff I make - I'll try and keep it to a minimum. Anyway, I'm currently contracting at a company that uses Oracle (10g?)
