Many, many thanks to the Oracle Asia R&D Center Team that worked closely with us to get the blogs.oracle.com migration successfully completed. If you're wondering, BOC now runs on Six Apart's Movable Type Enterprise (v. 1.5) on top of Oracle Content DB. (Upgrade to MTE4 planned for the near future.)You'll note that we also got a new aggregator out of the deal. This is great! (Oracle bloggers, start tagging your entries - based on the number of "identity"-related tags I see,...

The Oracle ACE presence at ODTUG Kaleidoscope could not have been more productive. I really appreciate the time (and in some cases long travel time) rendered by the 40+ Oracle ACEs in attendance.The Oracle ACE bling that the ODTUG Board took it upon themselves to provide is priceless; it is simultaneously the silliest and greatest thing I have ever seen:Model: Dan MorganModel: Dan NorrisYou can't beat that with a stick, as they say.

You may recall that last year, Oracle issued blogger credentials at Oracle OpenWorld for the first time. Well, call it an annual event: blogger credentials will be issued this year as well, starting now! Register at this URL. (Note: this looks like a generic attendee form but it does go straight to the Blogger Care & Feeding Team. Replace "Company Name" with "Blog Name".)Sorry, authors of wine & cheese blogs need not apply. We are indeed looking for people who can add to the...

The Jim Gray Tribute on the UC Berkeley campus last weekend was instructive to me in several ways. First of all, it made me realize how relatively small the "database science" community really is. Had you vaporized Zellerbach Hall at 10am last Saturday, you would have set data management back a hundred years. To me, it seemed everyone there knew each other from some past academic or business relationship.Second, once cannot overemphasize the magnitude of Jim Gray's...

If you're a D2D/A2A blogger and you've been using Windows Live Writer to compose and manage your posts, migrating old posts to a new blog can be a heck of a lot easier than, say, removing your own tonsils. This is especially useful if other means of migration are unavailable. For the uninitiated, Live Writer can be configured to work with multiple blogs on multiple platforms. This allows you to very easily cross-post, that is, publish a single post to multiple blogs. That...

Yeah, I'll be at CommunityOne/RedmonkOne on Monday and JavaOne Tuesday/Wednesday. Much of the time I'll be at Oracle's booth (#524 - BEA right next door), so do stop by to say "ola".OTN is sponsoring a movie night, as is traditional, on Wednesday (Iron Man - what else - @ The Metreon); the first 500 people to complete a pretty brief survey will get a ticket. We'll be raffling 5 posters while we're there, too.Hope to see you there.Update (May 8): A good time was had by all;...
