Wow, I am seeing some disturbing stats where this blog is concerned. Basically, it appears that either half as many of you are reading it, or that all of you are now reading it only half the time.
Believe me, I am not blaming the victim. This is almost certainly my fault: for one thing, the number of posts have gone down, in inverse relation to my Twitter activity. (Yes, I am one of those shallow people who think that Twitter is often a worthy substitute for blogging.) At the same time, my Twitter follower count has gone up like a rocket.
It's also true that for the most part, the most interesting subjects are off-limits for me at the moment. So, it's possible that a lot of people got tired of looking for juicy content here, and then not finding it. Frustrating.
Perhaps when the information floodgates can open, the crowds will return. In the meantime, if there are any "discussable" subjects of interest to you, feel free to leave me a comment. I'll redouble my efforts to minimize Twitter-induced blogging disruption.

I have to say that It is very annoying when you provide an interesting teaser with a link and then that link forces you to register at Oracle to see the content. Why not make it easier on your users to see this information? This is a good example of what I am speaking about: http://ow.ly/15Yrlz

Me personally, or Oracle in general?
I do my best to provide "non reg" links when possible, but it's not always possible.

Wow, that's brave of you.... I think I would have amended "discussable" to "discussable-but-not-related-to-MOS-problems" *{;-)

I think guest posts would certainly help make it more diverse and regular.
Cheers,
