Many high risk vulnerabilities in the Oracle Database ( 19.3-19.31, 21.3-21.22, 23.4.0-23.26.2). It's patching time...

Wrong subreddit 😅😅

My local DB (uc-local-apex-dev) was running full. Improved the local-26ai.sh shrink-space script by: - removing old APEX installations - Reclaiming space from APEX internal BLOBs - Reclaiming space from audit log - Data file resizing In total reclaimed 6 GB 👍. #orclAPEX

How to do Real Time communication in #orclAPEX. Kevin Thysen and Vito Van Hecke at #Kscope26

Looking to generate #orclAPEX apps with APEXlang? You should join our webinar tomorrow! We will showcase an approach that save over 50% of $/tokens/time and thus is smarter as LLMs fatigue quickly. And the best part: you will be able to do the exact same thing at home. (links in comment)

Cooking something to make it easier for AI agents to work with #APEXlang looks quite promising. Will release very soon. #orclAPEX

APEX Connect 26 was exceptional as always! Great to see many friends again, learn about #orclAPEX 26.1 (and that my body still does not like rollercoasters 🎢). Thanks DOAG and everyone involved! Looking forward to APEXconn27 in Cologne! #APEXConn

Git pull uc-local-apex-dev and run this to upgrade to 26.1 . Still waiting for ORDS 26.1.1 to be available from the container registry. #orclAPEX

No need to ask for votes in the APEX Ideas app 😁 #orclAPEX

Finally 🥼🧪: UC AI UI #orclAPEX

I am playing with the idea to downgrade my phone to an e-ink one. Should just work for texting, GPS, mobile payments, and a bit of web surfing. I fear dopamine addiction is doing quite some harm and I am definitely addicted to my phone.

Today I am giving the two-day AI Workshop for the first time. Super excited, will be lots of fun. #ucAI @united-codes.com

Working on repsonses API support for UC AI.

⛷️

Scripted migration from 23ai to 26ai for uc-local-apex-dev coming soon... It will (mostly) automatically migrate all your schemas, APEX workspaces, apps, and ORDS modules. #orclAPEX

What the hell am I doing here?

Adding an AI disclaimer to my blog.  I also think one way to keep blogging fun and meaningful is getting more personal. I often read others'  blogs because I value their thinking and personal touch. For an LLM, it is easy to just restate some neutral facts.

Working on Toon support in UC AI. Its a more dense (less tokens) format for displaying data. E.g.: [2]{id,active}: 1,true 2,false

It's definitely a bubble. Claude Haiku 4.5 just calculated a simple subtraction wrong: 17-4-2...

Join me next week where I will talk about #orclAPEX UX: apex.oracle.com/go/ace-masters Also big thanks to the attendees of #HROUG, this UX session was voted best lecture of the conference :).

Working on a naming conventions page for #dbLinter. It previews the current regex with test values. I created a custom #orclAPEX plug-in for that. Definitely time-consuming, but it's worth it to build great experiences #UX.

Finally got to see One Battle After Another yesterday. Outstanding movie - great acting, cinematography, and hilarious. Completely got sucked in by the story and characters.

Nice, the new @github.com dashboard shows me a PR from a repo I have never seen before:

I am playing around with #ActivityWatch (FOSS) to track my computer usage and automatically categorize it by project. VS Code and browser plug-ins plus regex rules help with this. Quite powerful.

The last days were splendid. First time attending the great #HROUG conference. It takes place on an island before Rovinj, Croatia. Great conference, but especially fun. Played tennis, went running and swimming, and enjoyed the parties.

. @alexnuijten.bsky.social seems to be lost. You are in 🇭🇷 at the great #HROUG25 conference! Jokes aside great session about apple pies and spatial data.

New blogging achievement: somebody posted me on Hacker News 🤯

Let’s go #HROUG25
