Scoble comments that Oracle Blogs are on his regular reading list (although we have yet to become one of his "favorites"; working on that).My recent post about Oracle being a neglected stepchild in the mainstream blogging community caused something of a ruckus, which of course was partly my intention. I'm confident that I have motivated Oracle bloggers to be more aware of the wider blogosphere, and perhaps some in the latter to be more aware of the former. But regardless of...

The Oracle AppsLab team - a group of individuals (Paul Pedrazzi et al) within the Oracle Apps organization who are working hard to encourage community-building - has just externalized their new blog. This is definitely worth an RSS subscription. Paul & Co. are going to cover a litany of enterprise 2.0-related topics, not just Oracle Apps stuff.

Apparently there is quite an "OTN nation" in the Faroe Islands, between Iceland and Norway.Recently Oracle ACE Grant Ronald from the Forms team absconded there to lead a hands-on SOA/Java/Forms workshop, and he is confident that the entire developer community (numbering 33 Faroese) was in attendance:According to one of them, Michael Thomsen of Faroese Telecom, "Even though the Faroe Islands is a small nation in terms of population, our infrastructure for supporting the...

A nice tandem announcement: The Underground PHP Oracle Manual 1.4 has been published, and Zend Core for Oracle 2.0 is out. On top of that, a couple weeks ago we published a nice two-part guide to creating PHP apps that use database-based authentication (specifically, the venerable Virtual Private Database feature).The OPAL stack (see Chris Jones' great blog on this subject) is really becoming a nice alternative to LAMP, in situations where it makes sense to explore one. (The...

I was blog-tagged by Jeff Pulver over the weekend (his invention I believe); so I guess I'm it.I am a law-school drop-out.Until the age of 14, my childhood hero was Napoleon Bonaparte. Thereafter, it was Joe Strummer.My father was a Hungarian-English translator at the Nuremburg Trials.When I was a little kid I often played "house" with Alexis Stewart (neighbor in the building).Being a short-order cook was the funnest job I ever had.Today I will consider who my victim will be...

The 2007 Semantic Technology Conference gets underway today, with Oracle serving as the "Title Sponsor."The agenda is a fascinating one, with presenters representing Boeing, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, and every type of organization in between. And on Tuesday, Siderean CTO Bradley Allen is offering a case study about the underpinnings of OTN Semantic Web.On Thursday, I will have the pleasure of doing my own demo at Oracle HQ in front of some conference attendees. If...

In his post Do we understand SOA?, Jack van Hoof makes an interesting point about the use of the term "reuse" within the context of SOA: And then there is the widely spread misuse of some core terminology. "Experts" tend to speak of "reusable" services. But what they mean is "shareable" services, which is quite a different thing. I've read similar comments elsewhere, and while I understand the point, I think that characterizing this as misuse of terminology is not entirely...

Am I alone in thinking that Microsoft's $6 billion acquisition of new-media advertising agency aQuantive ($442m in revenue last year) is as sure a sign of a bubble as Petco.com's infamous Superbowl halftime ad - this time, an online advertising one?(Speaking of bubbles, I predicted the last one in 2000 - one of an all-together different kind, of course. No one is alleging accounting chicanery here.)Does Google have Microsoft in such a small "box", as Scoble contends, that the...
