Where’s the Middle?

Writing and maintaining a blog requires a fair amount of effort. Hence the rise of micro-blogging, which is almost frictionless (one of my favorite interface-isms), creating mountains of content, a long tail for blogging as it were.
That’s actually pretty funny, since blogging was initially the long tail of online content publishing, which was kind of [...]

Install the E-Business Suite with Your Pals

My latest kick is to catalog useful information for reference purposes, which is one reason why I embarked on a quest to create a WebCenter VM.
Blogs are extremely good at SEO out of the box. So, it’s very likely that anyone searching for information on a technical topic will find a wealth of information from [...]

Meet Brizzly, My New Twitter Client

I’m finally getting around to penning that post on Brizzly I’ve been threatening for a week.
Not that anyone noticed. It’s been eerily quiet in the comments lately.
Anyway, at OpenWorld, Rich turned me on to Brizzly and provided an invite. I’d heard about it over the Summer, but for whatever reason, it didn’t stick.
Oh, I know [...]

PuSH Bot Marries PubSubHubbub with XMPP

Rich provided a sweet tip this evening that I wanted to share.
PuSH Bot, the weekend project of Mihai Parparita, combines the PubSubHubbub protocol with XMPP to create an easy way to subscribe to any feed served by PuSH via IM, meaning you’ll receive updates in your favorite IM client.
Sweet!

Oh, and there are a lot of [...]

Oracle OpenWorld Blogger Meetup Info

Alex Gorbachev has taken the organizer reigns of the traditional OpenWorld blogger meetup from Eddie Awad, who won’t be traveling to SF this year. Keeping it in the Oracle ACE Director family I guess.
With help from the OTN team (once again, we’ve got the bar tab covered), Alex has announced the details:
When: Tue, Oct. 13, [...]

Send oraclenerd to Oracle OpenWorld

Chet Justice, aka oraclenerd, is a fixture of the Oracle community. A practicing Oracle Database developer residing in Florida, oraclenerd nevertheless finds time in his world to convey pride in his craft far and wide – via oraclenerd.com and the @oraclenerd Twitterstream, chiefly.
You’d think that oraclenerd would be a fixture at Oracle OpenWorld, right? [...]

OOW 2009 – Blogger’s Meetup

So after a day’s interesting presentations, it was time for the Cuddly Toy Meetup, but I can’t really tell you how I went because I went to the Blogger Meetup, started having a good time and forgot my supervision responsibilities.
