Once again I find myself browsing around for a better javascript calendar tool. I’m particularly looking for jQuery support, the ability to handle both date and time entry, and — being post-iPhone/Android/iPad 2010 — I’m concerned about making sure it is finger friendly (i.e. it works on a touch screen). The table below summarises my [...]
So, this is interesting. Justin (@oracletechnet) reported last week that the Black Eyed Peas will be headlining the OpenWorld appreciation event, which is held on Treasure Island and always includes a live concert. This is definitely a departure in musical guests from the previous appreciation event headliners. See if you can find a pattern. 2009: [...]
I actually like the big old clock widget So, the iPhone OS has had the ability to take a screenshot since 2.0, simply hold down the sleep and home buttons for a couple seconds, and click, you’ve got a screenshot. This is a great feature, and one lacking from Android’s base OS, i.e. there’s no [...]
I’ve been a long time Amazon customer, but a while ago I stumbled upon The Book Depository in the UK. Not only are their prices competitive with Amazon (especially when you consider the free shipping), but I was totally sucked in by their live “Watch people shop” widget – a very cool Google maps mashup.

The conference was spread out across the exceptionally large Orange County Conference Center. This year the Applications User Experience team was running a [...]

So, we had some downtime overnight, not sure anyone noticed. Rich and I decided to make a couple tweaks to make the blog load faster. I removed Google Friend Connect, which didn’t seem to do much beyond create a static network with some infrequent discussion. I expect future changes to GFC that might be interesting, [...]
So I mentioned in my last post one of my favorite new features in Application Express 3.1 was being able to pass temporary values to OnDemand process, and I showed an example using x01. Of course passing one value is useful but not as useful as passing 10-13 of them so lets meet the rest. [...]
