Did Tom Kyte finally decide to leave Oracle Corp. and work for Microsoft?
Here is what I get when trying to connect to AskTom.oracle.com:

I'm still having intermittent problems with tahiti, too. And the 11.2
doc set I downloaded yesterday appears to be bogus, though I haven't
looked too close yet.

Come on Larry, can't you keep it up? http://www.fox5sandiego.com/news/kswb-oracle-mast,0,7154637.story

@home.com is bogus.
There's a lawyer for that:

Maybe this will help?
http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2009/09/im-not-dba-anymore.html

Maybe the site is now part of the site that hosts the Oracle
documentation library?
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage

Which redirected me to here:
http://wbw-adc.oracle.com/splash/www/index.html

(Side note: searching site:download.oracle.com still returns web pages
if someone needs documentation contents)

He moved to apex.oracle.com? I don't know if that is a good idea, since
apex.oracle.com is unavailable (or just painfully slow) a lot recently...

Just a temporary outage:

mgogala@nycwkswxp282:~$ nc -v -z -w30 asktom.oracle.com 80
bigip-asktom-adc.oracle.com [141.146.8.115] 80 (www) open


Essentially, that was a manifestation of the unbreakable oracle.

Do you think Steve Adams is behind this?

I would rather suspict a management problem. In the last 6 months i
observed occasioanally 1 outage by google, one or two by sun and *a lot
of* by oracle ( docs, forums etc. ).
Of course, this big-ip hardware is very expensive...

Best regards

Maxim

Ok come on it was a weak attempt at humor. No need to start throwing
names around.

Attempts of humor should contain humor.
