The eagle has landed and snapped some photos:The throngs. (Hey, it's Sunday morning here.)Where'd Howard St. go?All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Somebody got a great parking space!The OTN Lounge at Moscone West awaits. And we're not located in the loading bay this year.

Steve Muench, you rock!In the last few months, Steve has documented an amazing list of "not yet documented" sample applications (in his "Dive into BC4J and ADF" blog) that illustrate use cases and best practices for the Oracle JDeveloper+Oracle ADF combination. Steve has also made several screencasts available that take you through more tactical processes, step by step. (This is how Oracle ACEs are made!)I hope to make better use of the aforementioned screencasting technology...

In my recent post "The Semantic Web Runs on Oracle," about the new virtual press room that offers a "faceted" view of pressroom content on Oracle.com, I mentioned the fact that a another project is underway to provide similar capabilities for OTN content: We call it OTN, Special Edition. In this post, I want to bring you up to speed.Our friends at Siderean Software, our partners in this project, have already absorbed business requirements that we provided a few months ago....

Build Your Own Oracle RAC Cluster on Linux - Again

Oracle ACE Jeff Hunter's "Build Your Own Oracle RAC Cluster on Linux and FieWire" is easily one of the most influential pieces of content ever published by OTN, if not by Oracle itself. I personally have received countless emails from users about its value for evaluating RAC (or for just playing around). (Amazingly,  customers continue to open TARs against this content despite the bright-red "not supported" disclaimer on every page.)The beauty of this document is that it's...

Are We Wasting Our Time?

This morning I attended a breakfast seminar with Robert Scoble (now of social media company PodTech) keynoting on the impact of social media (blogs, podcasts, videocasts) on corporate marketing/communications. I didn't hear anything extraordinarily new, but he did relay some interesting anecdotes about how even a single grass-roots "influencer" can be more influential than an "A-lister" like himself. Scoble asks the rhetorical question: Would you rather be mentioned by Walt...

Today Oracle.com rolled out a new virtual press room.Big deal, right?Actually, yes. The new press roomruns on a combination of Oracle Database, Oracle SES, and SidereanSoftware's Seamark Navigator "semantic Web"engine.Forthose unfamiliar with the term, the Semantic Web, to describe itsimplistically, is an information processing model in whichcomputers--via a set of W3C data modeling specifications calledResource Description Framework (RDF) and other technologies--canparse...

The Oracle Application Express (APEX) team has made an interesting contribution to the FOSS community: the Open APEX Project. (sourceforge page is here.)For those who don't know, APEX is a rapid Web app development environment integrated with Oracle Database 10g (including XE); it's also available standalone. As asktom.oracle.com and Best Practice PL/SQL attest, APEX makes it ludicrously simple to build robust, data-driven applications for Web deployment.Project APEX will...
