where are they now ?
People often write in and ask ‘Is Oracle blogging dead ?’
Well, I thought it might be interesting to revisit the list of Oracle blogs I posted way back in 2007 and see what they’re up to.
- Life After Coffee - dead (last post May 2011). The pressure of the No. 1 slot proved too much.
- The Tom Kyte Blog - frequency much reduced but Tom’s a busy man.
- Rittman Mead - now a multi-user, shiny, corporate blog.
- Oracle Scratchpad - Jonathan Lewis is still going strong.
- Eddie Awad …so is Eddie.
- Doug Burns - Our favourite Scotsman is still active and contemplating a migration away from Serendipity.
- Kevin Closson - occasional poster.
- David Aldridge - as above (when something annoys him).
- Tim Hall - still travelling the world, presenting, reading books and watching weird films.
- Jeff Hunter - resting (inactive since May 2012).
- Peter Scott - alive and well blogging under the Rittman Mead umbrella.
- Andrew Clarke - sporadic flurries of activity from Tooting.
- Chris Foot - not known at this address.
- William Robertson - still manages to exclaim ‘WTF?!’ once a year.
- Howard Rogers - still blogging from Down Under.
- Robert Vollman - resting (since August 2012).
- Andy Campbell - hijacked by spammers. Either that or he really is pimping satellite TV systems and payday loans.
- Moans Norgaard - pining for the fjords (since July 2010).
- Laurent Schneider - actively blogging about Oracle.
- Lisa Dobson - went to the trouble of getting her own domain and then neglected it (since Sept 2011). No longer a ’newbie'.
- Jeff Moss - pimping vacations in Florida.
- Beth - Data Geek Gal has been quiet on data quality (since Oct 2012).
- Steve Karam - the alchemist is busy mixing up strange concoctions involving Hadoop, Hue, Oozie and occasionally Oracle.
- Eric Emrick - nothing since March 2009.
- Alex Gorbachev - busy growing Pythian Corp.
- Robert Baillie - blogging about Agile, Extreme and project management after a 3 year lull.
- Gary Myers - moved house (still in Oz) but helpfully remembered the redirect.
- Nuno Souto - still blogging from Sydney.
- Daniel Fink - The Optimal DBA blog has been dropped with constraints cascaded - which is suboptimal.
- Ed Whalen - wrote a popular book in 2011, got rich on the proceeds and retired in the Caribbean.
