… and you know it. I’m sure we have enough geeky readers here that know what I’m talking about. For those that don’t (you suck) — Vi, simply put, is the best damn text editor ever created. A couple of weeks ago a poll was started on OraTweet regarding Vi vs. Emacs: How could there… Read More

AppsLab Stickers!!!
Another last minute update… at 10:56am PDT today, Jake suggested we get stickers for next week. I thought it was a fabulous idea. So, I immediately went to work at creating a sticker design. In a few minutes I cranked this out: This design was set at 1″ x 2.5″ — a perfect size to… Read More

OS X, Ubuntu and Other Fun Stuff… My Perspective
Instead of adding a comment to Jake’s post on his Ubuntu experience to-date, I thought I’d just blog my perspective. Here’s my backstory with Apple, MSFT, Linux, and others: Mid to late 80s: Timex Sinclair 1000… loved writing programs on cassette tapes! How many of you Web 2.0 kiddies can say that? Early to mid… Read More
Ruby on Rails and BEA AquaLogic
About 40 minutes ago, Chris Bucchere posted a OpenWorld session proposal on Mix. His session is called “Building Web 2.0 Social Applications in Ruby on Rails using BEA AquaLogic Interaction.” The session will also cover optimizing your application for the iPhone (or iPod Touch). Anyone who is interested in Ruby on Rails on enterprise scale… Read More
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 Driver, Gartner,… Read More
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… Read More
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… Read More
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… Read More
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.… Read More

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 support. Now you… Read More
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… Read More
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 different hats… Read More
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.
