These Miracle guys (and girls) certainly know how to stage an event. My highlights of the last 24 hours include Sitting in the baby seats at the back of Mogens 7-seater, surrounded by everyone’s luggage and some goat food, with Jonathan Lewis lording it at the front. Mogens has a really nice place – fantastic… Continue reading Miracle DBF – Day 1

Thanks to a mix-up with the flights (which was all my own fault) I won’t be travelling over to Denmark for the Miracle DBF until early tomorrow morning. Which is a shame, because I think some photos of more than a dozen Oracle geeks on Mogens and Anette’s floor would have been interesting 😉 I… Continue reading Letting the side down

As a few people will be aware with how long it’s taking me to reply to their emails at the moment, I’m chasing my tail trying to keep up with things. Miracle DBFI’m usually quite anal about deadlines so it’s very rare indeed for me to miss one. Well, I have now. I was supposed… Continue reading Busy, Busy, Busy …

I think someone might be going to a wedding this weekend! (We haven’t the heart to tell him I might need that bow tie back.)

The week after next, I’ll be heading over to Denmark for the Very Last Miracle Database Forum. Registration is still open and it looks like pretty good value to me – accommodation, meals, parties and three streams of technical presentations for a couple of days for 1280 Euros (about £900). With Hotsos being so far… Continue reading Very Last Miracle Database Forum

Having experienced a minor panic about not having sufficient material for my presentation, I decided to stay at home yesterday morning to work on some 9i examples to go with the existing 10g ones and put together some additional slides. In the end it took longer than I expected and by the time I’d got… Continue reading OUG Scotland 2006 Conference – Day 2

I originally tried to post this yesterday but lost my internet connection at a crucial moment 🙁 On Sunday evening I met up with Jeff Moss, Julian Dyke and Tom Brown in the bar of the Radisson. A few beers later, we left to meet Thomas Presslie and some of the Miracle guys for a… Continue reading OUG Scotland 2006 Conference – Day 1

I think that has a nice ring to it, particularly if you have both a pilot’s licence and an Oracle Ace Award. Thoroughly deserved, too.

In spite of the tone of some of the comments on my previous blog, the tragic bear incident was absolutely nothing to do with me. I made it clear that he was hanging from the ceiling when I turned up to work. Fortunately, Paolo in the office suggested that we get him down and treat… Continue reading RIP Bear
