Off to ODTUG, and a Third Birthday for the Blog
June 16th, 2006 by Mark Rittman
Just a short update today as I’m packing everything up for
ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2006 in
Washington. I’m doing two regular presentations, one on XML Publisher on the
Monday, and another on OWB10gR2 (a.k.a. "Paris") on the Wednesday. I’m also
taking part in the BI Customer Advisory Board on the Sunday afternoon,
presenting along with George Lumpkin for the OWB 10gR2 launch just afterwards,
and then attending the BI Summit on Sunday evening. I’ll also be the ODTUG
representative for many of the BI presentations during the week, so all in all
it’ll be a pretty busy four days.
Before I go, I just noticed whilst looking at my homepage that it’s now about
three years since I started this blog, and looking back to
June 2003 there’s a
set of postings on Oracle 10i (little did we know), support for AW building
within OWB, "Why are there no Oracle blogs?", and my taking of the OS
Personality Test – "On the
OS Personality test, it
turns out I am AmigaOS.
‘Ahead of your time. You keep lots of balls in the air. If only your parents had
given your more opportunities to succeed.’". I actually had a website for a
couple of years before that, I don’t know if you saw it at the time but I dug
out some archived copies a couple of months back and posted them
here.

Thanks to everyone who’s kept up with the blog, and I hope it’s been of use
to you all.
That’s it for now; I’m flying out to Washington Dulles tomorrow morning, and
should get to the Wardman Park Hotel around 4.00pm. As usual I’ll probably be
awake early with jetlag the next day, so if you see an English guy trying to buy
a cup of tea at 5.00am, it’ll probably be me.
