Feeling extremely European today as I take the new train in to work today. May seem like a small thing, but the folks in Texas don’t care much for public transit (or pedestrians for that matter)

Wow…can’t believe it took me 10 years to get to @pougorg.bsky.social but it delivered in every possible way. So great to see old friends and I haven’t learned that much at a conference in a very long time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally submitted my abstract for @pougorg.bsky.social #POUG2025. I prefer to think that it was less about procrastination and more about constantly refining the topic in the deeper parts of my mind. #fingerscrossed

I just can’t take an institution of higher education seriously when they present a Y axis that goes from largest to smallest.

Hi, I’m Andy Colvin! You may remember me from such things like working for Enkitec and writing about Exadata. These days I’m working on all things Oracle within Google Cloud, but may post a few cat photos from time to time.
