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.

Let’s go #HROUG25

It’s a bit wet

Just arrived in Croatia 🇭🇷 (Pula). Weather not as expected but will get better 😂.

And next week I will go to Rovinj for the HROUG conference!

Crazy xAI's new Grok4 fast model does the unthinkable. It is one of the most intelligent models, while being one of the cheapest and the fastest. Didn't think this was possible. (Benchmarks from artifical analysis)

Trying to find out what the others are doing under the hood. (mitmproxy)

This is ugly but does the trick. Thanks @moreaux-louis.bsky.social

Is there any good workaround on how to put big clobs (>32767 char) to a JSON_OBJECT_T in older Oracle versions (18c and less)? #oracle

Big agenda for tomorrow. All PL/SQL with our free open-source "UC AI" SDK. All with interactive #orclAPEX demos.
See the referenced post for links to join the webinar.

Wohoo. The open space (?) of the hook is a bit too small but luckily the print flexes. So it is actually now unlikely that I accidentally unhook it. If I knew I would one shot it I would have used a better print profile and white PLA 🥳

Google Gemini models are now available in beta on OCI. Currently only in Ashburn, and they actually are not hosted in #OCI; your traffic gets rerouted to Google (like with xAI)...

Also nice UX ✅important✅

That should work better 😅
