We all went back to one of the houses (a couple of doors down from the one I’m in) for lots of drink and chat. I carefully stuck to the beer and talk of presentations, written and unwritten. I’m really going to have to stop confessing to my complete inactivity on this blog. The first… Continue reading Miracle DBF – Day 1.875

I thought I was going to get my own back on Tom Kyte for Hotsos by blogging at the back of his presentation, but I kept losing my connection and was getting to the stage where I was worried about p*ss*ng off Toon Koppelaars (sp?) who was sitting beside me, so I had to give… Continue reading Miracle DBF – Day 2.0

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

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.
