Well it’s been a long time in the making, but the Pro Oracle Application Express book that I wrote (with a chapter on Themes and Templates contributed by Scott Spendolini) is finally shipping!
I started working on the book way back and it seems barely a week has gone by since when I haven’t been asked [...]
A few days ago we held our third open European Application Express training days in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
It was my first time in the Netherlands and I loved it, I have to say I thought it was a bit of myth about everyone using bicycles until I saw more bicycles in 20 minutes than I’ve [...]
The recent OTN Forums update has been heavily blogged/Twittered/posted about already, so I’m not even going to touch that one.
However, one thing that a few people have focused on (pardon the pun) is that the update has changed the way that viewed threads are displayed in a very light grey colour, making them a bit [...]

This seminar is being organized by Oracle University and you can enroll here.
The next few weeks and months are extremely hectic, but I’m really looking forward to this seminar.

One of the coolest, yet little publicised, new features of the iPhone 2.0 update (and there are lots of cool features to choose from) is the ability to take screenshots of whatever you’re currently looking at.

Well, having given up on trying to get an iPhone 3G anytime soon in the UK, I’ve been looking forward to the 2.0 firmware update for my (now old) iPhone.
I noticed it has *just* been released:
It’s a quick easy process to install the new firmware onto the phone (I do get the impression that most [...]
I was just browsing through the iTunes Application Store and noticed this application -
