CommunityOne 2008
Those of you looking to beat the Monday blues (this coming Monday) should come out to CommunityOne 2008 in San Francisco. I’ll be part of the Ruby panel that’s being chaired by Tim Bray. Should be a good event. Best part… IT’S FREE!!!
The Ruby panel I’m on will be joined by Mark [...]
OpenSocial’izing Our Apps
Now that Jake has exposed our next venture, I thought I’d flesh out some more details on what we hope to accomplish by building our own OpenSocial container. When OpenSocial came out, it all took us AppsLab’ers by surprise that Oracle was a founding member. It wasn’t really a surprise that Google was building something [...]
JRuby Meetup!
For those of you who are live in the Bay Area (East Bay in particular), I’ll be speaking at the East Bay Ruby Meetup next Tuesday. Here’s the talk abstract:
JRuby is fast becoming a solid (and possibly preferred choice) for deploying Rails apps. Rich Manalang from Oracle will talk about how he and a small [...]
JRuby on Rails: Oracle SSO Integration
Laurent reminded me that I promised a write up of how we accomplished the Oracle SSO integration for Mix. So, I’ve created an Oracle Wiki page that has details on how it works. If you have any experience with Oracle SSO and Rails (or is working on a project that requires this), please add your [...]
Mix President’s Day Release: JRuby 1.1RC2 and a bunch of other stuff!
Since U.S. based Oracle employees don’t get President’s Day off, Anthony and I decided to deploy some new changes while everyone is off enjoying their day off. Actually, that’s not true, we deployed the new Mix changes early Sunday morning. What should have taken 10 minutes lasted 2 hours — it was a big release.
We [...]

Super Tuesday
Today is a big day. Not only because it’s Super Tuesday in the U.S., but also because it’s Super Tuesday here at the AppsLab. Last night, Anthony and I rolled out some major changes to Mix that many people have been clamoring for. The main feature we rolled out is RSS feed [...]
PeopleSoft Tech Blog
This must have slipped our radar — Jeff Robbins and his crew of PeopleTools experts started a blog back in October last year. However, looks like they need some traffic sent their way. There are a few other PeopleSoft related blogs out there. Here are some that pop into mind:
Jim’s PeopleSoft Journal — Jim Marion [...]
Tagged!
I’m it — Floyd tagged me. So, here are my 8 things (for context on what this is, read this):
January 6th marked my 11th year at Oracle (8 w/PeopleSoft and 3 w/Oracle). Seems like a long time to be in a company. The cool thing is that I’ve managed to wear many [...]
Rails Is A Ghetto
I've been following Zed's rant since he posted it… it's an absolutely entertaining read. Good thing he's got nothing against the JRuby team. I'm glad that he's refreshingly honest about the way he feels.

Mix, JRuby on Rails, Small Teams, Agile, and it’s Effects on the World
A week after going live with Oracle Mix, we’ve gotten a considerable amount of buzz and interest from every aspect of Mix. Most everyone we’ve talked with are really happy to see Oracle becoming more transparent. Mix is a huge part of that. There are a lot of tool heads out there [...]
Let’s Mix
Hi all. Remember me? I used to blog here until of course Paul and Jake buried me with a crazy project that seemed impossible. Anyway, now that it’s out, I can talk about what I’ve been working on since all the fun we had with Connect this Summer.
So, far the buzz on [...]
