First, Happy New Year to you all!

This year I promise to organize my blog a little better, to have some index of my articles, scripts etc :)

Here are the news…

I’ve moved my blog…

In December, when visiting Shanghai, I noticed that my blog was not accessible from there. Apparently the state firewall blocks all access to wordpress.com IPs.

So I have moved my blog to a virtual private server, off wordpress.com – my blog should be accessible from China now as well.

Conferences in 2009

11-12. February – RMOUG Conference @ Denver, Colorado

I will be delivering two presentations about advanced Oracle troubleshooting, tuning and internals:

• Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting: No Magic is Needed, Systematic Approach Will Do
• Understanding Oracle Execution Plans: How SQL is Really Executed

8-12. March – Hotsos Symposium @ Dallas, Texas

I will be delivering two presentations:

• Understanding Oracle SQL Plan Execution: How It Really Works
• Zero Slides: The Scripts and Tools which Will Make Your Life Easier and Allow You to Troubleshoot Better

As the second title says, I don’t use any slides at that presentation, I will just demo some of the scripts and tools I use every day plus few case studies. It will be fun!

Also, I look forward attending the Training Day by Jonathan Lewis on Oracle troubleshooting, on last day of the Symposium.
