JavaScript can be a nightmare to work with. Typically, the functions you’re defining are in a separate .js file that’s included in the HEAD of your HTML. For convenience, I find it easiest to work on a local copy of this file instead of change, ftp to server, refresh page, repeat. This is especially true [...]

I have a great opportunity to speak to a group of University students about blogging. I have a lot of advice based on my experiences, but I discovered early on that one of the most valuable aspects of blogging is that you can learn more from your community than they can learn from you (if [...]
If you’re looking for information on Oracle, Application Express, or Linux, you will NOT find it in this post. I struggled with this one, as it’s probably not appropriate for a professional blog, but it made me laugh so hard that I feel I would be doing the world a disservice by not sharing it. [...]
Here’s another Apache mod_rewrite example that I would love to get some feedback on from the community.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}%{QUERY_STRING} /pls/(apex|builder)/f?p=(4[0-9]{3}:.*)
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^(127\.0\.0\.1|192\.168\.1\.[0-9]{1,3})$
RewriteRule /pls/(apex|builder)/ - [F]
Any request for a 4000 series application (the APEX dev environment) on either the “apex” or “builder” DAD…
…Not coming from either localhost or a 192.168.1.x [...]
This one is for the dog lovers out there. The following 2 links are of our dog jumping off a dock on Torch Lake, Michigan. They’re both very short, but they do include sound, so mute your speakers if you’re in an office.

I’m working on a publication and one concept I’d like to include is the use of mod_rewrite and APEX as it helps simplify another concept. Here’s the problem, while I’ve used mod_rewrite in many production environments, I’ve never used the exact concept I want to write about. Essentially, I want to force all requests for [...]
I’d like to welcome Christopher Beck to the APEX / Oracle / PL/SQL blogging community. I met Chris when I interviewed at Oracle over 8 years ago and we’ve been friends ever since. He worked with Mike Hichwa and Raj Matamal as one of the original authors of WebDB, as well as writing the first [...]
In case you missed the news, yet another laptop with unencrypted Personally Identifiable Information (PII) was lost (though this one was found again, news story here). This type of story is in the news all too often. If you think I’m overreacting, take a look at this Chronology of Data Breaches. You might even look for your organization or organizations that [...]
By “Here” I mean the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. I live in Bethesda, Maryland. The Oracle office is in Reston, Virginia, exactly 17.8 miles from my house. 95% of the trip is on large, 8 lane highways, so of course google maps estimates this will take 26 minutes. Whatever. I went it into the office [...]
