The blogging regulator
by Paul Miller
Michael Powell, The Chairman of the FCC (equivalent to our Ofcom), has started blogging to try and get around the lobbyists in Washington and speak directly to techies in Silicon Valley. In his first post he says: "I am looking forward to an open, transparent and meritocracy-based communication -- attributes that bloggers are famous for!"
It wasn't a recommendation in The Long Game, but probably should have been.

I haven't been ambitious enough to set it up myself to test it out, but one of Oracle's main selling points for 10g is that it 'will administer itself'. I sure hope so, because it never did before. With the price drop on Oracle Standard edition I think the only thing they are lacking is an atleast half decent IDE. If they don't come out with one, then I think the new Workbench will wreak some major havok on Oracle's ability to sell their flagship product.

Bugger. Paul Miller, hang your head in shame for not thinking of that. I'm boycotting paulmiller.org in protest...
