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.

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.

My appartment in Marseille on a rainy day, on my first day

persevere and succeed

Dégustation de vino au Fouquet's

Hier avait lieu une dégustation professionnelle de Vins du Monde, organisé par l´ « Amateur de Bordeaux » au restaurant Le Fouquet´s. J'avais la chance d'y être invité par une copine qui représente la société ADE INTERNACIONAL EXCAL de la région de Castilla y León avec leurs merveilleux vins del ribeira del duero.

En plus de déguster les vins de Castilla y León, j'en ai profité pour discuter avec Cristina Forner, propriétaire de la prestigieuse Bodegas Marqués de Cáceres de la région de Rioja qui m'a fait goûter ses vins grandes réserves!

Je suis sorti de la dégustation dans un état des plus joyeux, il va falloir apprendre a ne pas tout boire le vin et le cracher comme les pros.

SpringSource and VMware teaming up to take over the APaaS market

August 10th was a very exiting day.

An open source company which products have been the center of my work for the past 3 years, has been purchased by the Virtualization monster VMWare for 420 million$. Who said fully open source models couldn't work?

So this Spring java framework giant, that nobody heard about outside the java community, overnight becomes a huge player in the next big hype of the information technology world. Paas (Platform as a Service), competing with Oracle/Sun, Microsoft Azure and Google App Engine.

Gartner goes beyond calling it a application-platform-as-a-service (APaaS) technology portfolio. ( see the Gartner analysis )

You also need to read Java Guru and SpringSource CEO Rod Johnson's letter to the Spring community explaining the agreement with VMWare

Computer World also has a good review on the association

Cherokee Wisdom

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
