Followed by a few frustrated blasphemous shouts of “John Cleese!”
It superficially seemed a somewhat innocuous way to end the day!
It concluded (for those not inclined to pursue the devils urine at the location of ill repute located conveniently close to the ICC) with a Panel Session with the topic “Performance & High Availability”.
Ultimately the ExeData machine was the topic of 90% of the questions.
In my own words, most of the questions consisted of the following:
“Getting ExeData experience would be beneficial to the Performance of my career! Why are ExeData resources not freely available on OTN for self study?”
To which was the unusually frank response was:
“Compare our behaviour with our peers, it’s no worse! We have the right to pursue whatever approach we believe will bring the greatest remuneration to our great leader and our shareholders. So if making the ExeData technology more exclusive is the way we chose to maximise our profits, then that’s that!”
While the Audience was somewhat aghast, I suspect everything would have calmed down, but with the audience in its already agitated state, someone shouted “Benton”. (or possibly “Clinton”).
The ensuing panic was unedifying.
Unfortunately I was unprepared and lack the required Photoshop skills, so unfortunately there will be no supporting footage on Flickr posted by me.
Duncan Mills was the Oracle employee furthest from the fire escape!
I hope he will be sufficiently recovered to present the Debugging ADF applications session tomorrow morning!
Obviously some of the above is subjective interpretation of the events that happened and any contradiction to third party testomony and provable fact is probably due to my dishonesty, or not, depending on, whatever!
