Not many fixes to report this week, but stay tuned because Rich and Anthony are cooking up a big update for next week. Since the beginning of the year, Mix usage has slowed to between 7,000 and 10,000 visits each week, which isn’t bad but could improve. With any luck, next week’s changes will re-energize [...]
As Rich and Anthony follow a weekly deployment schedule, I’m still finding myself challenged to report the updates they’ve made. Throw in a holiday yesterday, and we’re almost on the eve of this week’s fixes.
Anyway, here are the most recent updates to Mix. Thanks to everyone who has reported bugs to us with the feedback [...]
We’ve had some growing pains lately here at the ‘Lab. As more people use Mix, Anthony and Rich have more to fix and tweak, which forces us to balance the enhancements we want to make with bug fixes and critical changes. The people use Mix and Connect, the more they want these apps to do.
This [...]

Mix has been live for over a month now, and just before Christmas, Rich and Anthony dumped a bunch of bug fixes and new stuff. Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn’t. Many of these are ideas that people submitted, so this is the part where I say the system works.
This is also the part where [...]

To usher out 2007, it’s time to do the retrospective. Cue the music.
Looking back on this past year elicits “wow” moments for me. This time last year, I worked in a different team, Fusion Financials Strategy; I was neck-deep in the requirements for Secure Enterprise Search integration into Apps. I lived in a different state, [...]

In the past, I’ve blogged about Twitter exchanges I’ve had with Craig Cmehil who works over at SAP. Yesterday, he, Ethan Jewett, who is an SAP BI consultant at an SAP and Oracle partner, and I had an interesting discussion about how to drive new web innovation internally. That conversation begot my post and one [...]

We just got site analytics installed on Mix. It would have been nice to see the traffic patterns the week of OpenWorld. Sometimes duh stuff like that takes longer than anticipated, but oh well.
We’re about three weeks in, give or take a holiday, so I figured I’d check out the ideas and share some thoughts.
Most [...]

Eddie’s Oracle People Map got me thinking about what I like about social networks and why some are more valuable to me than others. Data visualization is cool, and seeing where people are geographically is a trip.
I had coffee with Rick Turoczy, the Silicon Florist, today to talk about the tech scene in Portland, and [...]

First off, sorry for sending spam and bacn, the other inbox meat, all over the place. I’m trying to build a community here, so mind the dust.
Remember Puneet from Life in the Bullpen? His comment on an idea of mine got me thinking of another reason why you should use Mix.
The network humanizes the software [...]

Paul announced our new community, Oracle Mix, during OpenWorld. Rich blogged about the experience he and ThoughtWorks had building Mix in 4-ish weeks. Depending on whom you ask, Mix took anywhere from 6-3 weeks to execute, so it was a classic agile project.
Oh yeah, in case you didn’t know already, Mix is built in JRuby [...]
A week after going live with Oracle Mix, we’ve gotten a considerable amount of buzz and interest from every aspect of Mix. Most everyone we’ve talked with are really happy to see Oracle becoming more transparent. Mix is a huge part of that. There are a lot of tool heads out there [...]
Hi all. Remember me? I used to blog here until of course Paul and Jake buried me with a crazy project that seemed impossible. Anyway, now that it’s out, I can talk about what I’ve been working on since all the fun we had with Connect this Summer.
So, far the buzz on [...]

Today is a big day for Oracle and our team. We have been cranking pretty hard for the last 6 weeks to get here. Where are we you ask? We’ll, I like to think of it as camp. Y’know in those everest trips how the teams have to reach a series [...]
