If you were at Oracle Openworld and saw the APEX 3.1 demo in the booths then you’ll definitely want to try it out yourself too, if you weren’t at OOW then trust me, you’ll definitely want to try it out anyway, some of the new features are just awesome (in the common day sense of [...]
Like last year, I decided to spend an extra day in San Francisco before heading home, it’s good to unwind from all that OOW hecticness before catching that oh-so-long flight home.
I caught up with Dimitri, Patrick Wolf and Carl Backstrom for breakfast in the diner next door to the King George hotel, if you ever [...]
Most of the morning (woke up at 4:30am today), was spent polishing my presentation and live demos for session in the afternoon.
Around lunch time it was time to wander down to the Moscone to catch Tony Jedlinski’s “Mastering Application Express Email” session, which was interesting and there were a lot of question from people who [...]
I had a sleep in this morning…5:15am, perhaps the jetlag is finally wearing off.
It was a bit of a lazy start to the day, catching up with some work before heading to the Keynote speech by Michael Dell, followed by Larry Ellison. I actually thought the speech by Michael Dell wasn’t too bad, in terms [...]
I’m losing track of the days now, they’re all merging into one long jet-lagged day. Anyway, it’s tuesday and once again I woke up around 4am.
I almost missed the big presentation from Tom Kyte on “How do you know what you know”, I almost missed it because I was convinced it was on tomorrow, but [...]
Just a quick post to say that due to ‘technical difficulties’ (or sods law as it’s more commonly known) Carl Backstrom was unable to show his live demos in his “Advanced Oracle APEX: Building Web 2.0″ presentation today, however Carl is going to be doing a repeat of the session as part of the Unconference [...]
OpenWorld Day 2
Another early jetlag start…4am on the dot, wide-awake and unable to get back to sleep. The only thing that makes me feel better is that every second or third person I speak to at OOW seems to be having the same problems.
I’d booked in for a couple of APEX sessions today, the [...]
Is it day 1 or day 0? Hmmm, either way…it’s the first ‘real day’ of OpenWorld and it was certainly a busy one!
Dimitri and I walked down to the Moscone around 9:30am, and we bumped into Dietmar Aust, it really is amazing that even with 40,000+ people attending OOW you can still manage to bump [...]
Jetlag really is a wonderful thing, on the one hand it makes you want to go to bed at times that would make a 5 year-old throw a tantrum, but on the other hand you get to wake up wide-awake regularly as clockwork at 4am in the morning (Groundhog day anyone?). Whilst this might seem [...]
Registration for OOW began today (saturday) and if you are already in San Francisco then it’s a good idea to register before the crowds build up on sunday and monday.
As you can see, it’s not that busy yet (although the Moscone building is so big it can hold a lot of people and you [...]
