Off to ODTUG, and a Third Birthday for the Blog

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.

If you're interested, here's some recent stats from Webalizer for http://www.rittman.net

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.
