Mac OS X : Install Jdeveloper 11G/ADF, Oracle 10G R2, running Weblogic

Running and developping some oracle ADF application on a mac involves a bit of grinding.
Every installation has its tweeks, You need Xcode for the database and to change system parameters. You need to create some symlinks to valide the jre for the JDev install, and you need to change some VM option for Weblogic not to crash at runtime.

Simmer

Each day awaiting
the right time,
the right winds...
when everything belongs
every second

Lac Sabourin on www.windguru.com

My Lake in Quebec, Lac Sabourin is one of the 19th tracked spots to kite and wind surf in Quebec. I was just wondering how I will know wind conditions when I move back to Mother Land, now I found it. Tomorrow will be 22 knots in Pointe-Rouge Marseille, looks like a kitesurfing day, boouuya.

The four agreements - Don Miguel Ruiz's code for life

Don Miguel Ruiz

agreement 1

Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

agreement 2

Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

agreement 3

Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

agreement 4

Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Marseille

Its official. I now live in Marseille. I will eat Bouillabaisse, I will say "Je crains dégun", I will at some point be fed up of the Mistral blowing in my face. I will ride my bike as hard as I can in these curves and I will work my ass off and enjoy Provence like a mad man.

I currently live in a surreal apartment on a little mountain with private park, 2 minutes walk from the sea, lets just say it eases the pain of moving.
