Foreign Keys and their Usage in the Database (Discussion Paper) - http://eddieawad.com/foreign...
Hi Eddie. Does Posterous allow cross links in posts that are emailed in. Like the idea of this service, and emailing content; but ability to cross link between new and existing posts adds real value to the reader. Any idea? - Mathew Butler from iPhone
Hi Mathew, Posterous does not have any special treatment for cross links AFAIK. - Eddie Awad

Tom's favorite 11gR2 new features http://asktom.oracle.com/pls... - I like Edition Based Redefinition and listagg.
I also like EBR. Have you seen any demo's on the 'net yet? It'll be a while until I have time to install and play. - Mathew Butler from iPhone
Same here. I have not seen it in action yet. - Eddie Awad from iPhone

John "Ontario Emperor" Bredehoft added a blog post - http://www.oraclecommunity.net/xn...
I didn't even know OracleCommunity had a FriendFeed group until I performed an ego search. - John E. Bredehoft
yep, I created the oraclecommunity FF user a while ago. - Eddie Awad

Always wondered what to publish on the main http://awads.net/wp/ page. Not anymore. At least now it does not redirect to my blog.
Hmm! the link should be awads.net not awads.net/wp/. I removed the redirect, but I guess FriendFeed caches it. Twitter has the right link http://twitter.com/eddieaw... - Eddie Awad
Alex Gorbachev
OK... Just tried Friend Feed - anybody using it? Any use? #friendfeed
No. No one uses it. :) - Alex Scoble
FriendFeed emphasizes conversations and is more multimedia friendly. However, it is more "complicated" than Twitter. - Eddie Awad
Yep, it sucks here :) - Sameer
Alex Scoble - yes. and I see a good reason now - if I don't understand what it's for in 20 seconds - it's not worth it. Day passed and I'm still not sure. :) - Alex Gorbachev
How long does it take you to see the worth of a sheet of paper? - Alex Scoble
few minutes in the toilet. OK - FF is gonski from my blog - Alex Gorbachev

In an airport, which is more important to you: Wi-Fi or food? - http://tech.slashdot.org/article...
food! - Moushumi Kabir
food - Kevin Johnson
Wi-fi. I can bring my own food. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Wi-fi. Airport food is gross and overpriced. - Admiral Anika
What Rishabh says. I can not bring my own wifi, but I can bring my own sandwich. - Eddie Awad
refinement: food when vacationing (avoiding yet another thing to worry about), wifi when flying for work (needing to stay in contact, and easier to grab something prior) - Kevin Johnson
now, I would want wi-fi too. I was hungry then! - Moushumi Kabir
ok, second refinement (architect's prerogative): both - it's not an either/or proposition. I want to wifi while eating, and I don't want to have to bring my own food. :-/ - Kevin Johnson

Have to read the Inquisitr story to figure this out. - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo
Agreed. It's not that obvious how wefollow works. The site needs an FAQ or something. - Eddie Awad
I saw your wefollow tweet before I read anything about it. I'm registered, but 2 of my tags #business #music are very common. - John E. Bredehoft

Are you Linked In or Out? I'm definitely LinkedIn. Interesting discussion on Slashdot. - http://ask.slashdot.org/article...
I maintained a separation between "Ontario Emperor" (my primary online presence) and my real name for several years, and have only...um..."linked" them in the last couple of years. The idea of a separate persona originated during the BBS days - or, more accurately, during the CB days - but things seem to be moving away from the creation of a separate persona (although pseudonyms are maintained in certain situations such as political oppression). - Ontario Emperor
I try to maintain a personal "brand" by always using my real name: Eddie Awad. - Eddie Awad
The only linking between MiniMage and my real name on LinkedIn is my email address. Like OE, I keep up separate, to the point where I wouldn't even show photos of myself for years. It kind of took FF to make me post a few. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Eddie Awad
Thx to all who saw my linkedin status and offered help. Peter pkhosblog.blogspot.com got me a short term contract with his company in Canada
Glad to hear you got a job Eddie. - Yas
Thanks, I'm glad too, but it is only for a few days, so I'm still looking... - Eddie Awad
Even a gig of a few days helps. - Ontario Emperor
Yes, indeed it helps. At least it keeps my brain optimized. - Eddie Awad

Re: Posting to Twitter, Take 2 - http://theappslab.com/2009...
"Like you, I mainly use Twitter. For OraNA.info, I created http://friendfeed.com/orana and added the orana feed. then from the FF Account Settings, I set up feed publishing to twitter account http://twitter.com/orana That's it. It's a set and forget." - Eddie Awad

Re: Posting to Twitter, Take 2 - http://theappslab.com/2009...
"I used twitterfeed for a long while. Then recently I switched to using FriendFeed to automatically post OraNA.info to Twitter. I noticed that using FriendFeed is more reliable than using twitterfeed." - Eddie Awad

Re: Optimized for iPhone - http://theappslab.com/2009...
"I use MobilePress on awads.net and orana.info. It uses different CSS/Ajax based on the mobile device, which means it formats for iPhone and other devices like BB for example. http://mobilepress.co.za/" - Eddie Awad

Layoffs at Oracle, SAP, and Infor - http://fscavo.blogspot.com/2009...
"A lot of Oracle layoffs today. Specifically NA Sales, Technology Business Unit, NA Consulting, NA Alliances & Channels, Retail Global Business Unit. Based on discussions with other Oracle employees, the number is around 8,000 globally. Some consolidation of operational groups. No warning at all. Just a call, and the FedEx truck showing up in front of the house an hour or so later." - Eddie Awad from Bookmarklet

I had no idea that Oracle Corp owns 2,038 domains http://www.domaintools.com/registr... including Disruptive.com http://whois.domaintools.com/disrupt... (via @NickLongo)
Probably more as not all of them get register under Oracle "corporation" - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
That's a lot of domains! - Eddie Awad

Tried both Tweetie and Twittelator. Tweetie is faster, but other than that, Twittelator kicks it in the butt. Twittelator FTW!
Eddie, try TwitterFon, I like how it downloads 200 messages at a time. Great when you are waiting in line and need something to read. I wish it had a feature to "ReTweet" - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
I tried TwitterFon too. I still like Twittelator best, which also downloads up to 200 tweets. It also has re-tweet and even copy/paste, and many other features. - Eddie Awad
With Twittelator, I can only download 20 messages at a time. I need to look at the settigns again. - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
Oh! I see. When I said Twittelator, I meant Twittelator Pro. - Eddie Awad
