Why are the lasers coming out of it's teeth?

Second Time Around Almost 20 years ago to the date, I submitted my resignation to Oracle to go start my own company. It was a difficult decision to make, as APEX - or HTML DB as it was called then - was just starting to gain traction. However, I was presented with an o...

Just deleted 250GB - yes GB - of log files.

All generated by my mouse.

What a time to be alive!

Someone leaked a list of EVERY password that has between 4 and 32 characters!

Another KScope is in the bag!

Thanks to @odtug.bsky.social for another spectacular show and an event to remember!

Looking forward to going back to Denver in ‘26.

#Kscope25

Conferences…

#kscope25

Made it! #kscope25

About to make the long trek up to Dallas for #kscope25!

And yea, I’m already delayed…

My demo VM now has SEVENTY ONE features of 23ai... all demo-able from the command line.

The task now is to fit them into a 45min time slot ...

It's gonna be fun...it's gonna be hectic. 😯

That's my normal mode. For probably the first time, I recorded all of my demos b/c some of the steps take time (downloading Oracle DB container) and add risk, given the typical quality of shared conference WiFi. I'll still make more changes as it gets closer...

I must be getting older, as both of my #Kscope25 presentations are largely done way before the deadline.

Best news is that I'll get to rehearse my containers talk in front of @btspendo.bsky.social tonight in person! He'll be thrilled!

Don't forget - CloudWorld CFP ends soon!

We've removed the code from the original APEX-SERT repository located on OraOpenSource, as it's very outdated and does not support modern versions of APEX.

Please use the newer version from here on out:

Fun trip down memory lane!

They are great like 19 out of 20 days. There's always that 1 day where they just don't want to place nice...

They gave me a 5-day trial pack. I'm going to get another one and have them add a little more distance focus and see if that's better.

By like 5p, I'm ready to take them off and go back to glasses these days.
