A second post today?

I know what I said about a post every two days but something has entered my head that seems timely. Things seem to starting up for 2008 and my getting a swathe of post ideas is only one of them. Today, Sun has bought up MySQL, the database that stores these ponderings for posterity, and Oracle has finally got its hands on Bea, the people behind the Weblogic software with which I have had an indirect brush for a lot of 2007.

New version of SAS on the way

This is something of a newsflash posting but this morning’s issue of the SAS Tech Report newsletter has said at last when SAS 9.2 is expected to be released. SAS have been talking a bit about 9.2 but dates were elusive and, to a point, they still are. Nevertheless, hearing the Q1 of this year is the time slot for the unveiling is better than knowing nothing at all. Am I alone in wondering if it is coming later than was planned?
