looks like dizwell.com is back online

[hpuxrac]

I guess we all thought it was probably just a matter of time.

So far the theme apparently is wallabies and IT but well oracle is
mentioned also at least in passing for whatever it is worth. Plus a
shot at the blog tagging thingie whatever that was.

C'est la vie toujours la plus ca change ...

Again? How refreshing. ;-)

Yawn. I see nothing much has changed amongst the Oracle illitterati:
they still can't get their facts right.

Dizwell has *always* been online. Nothing has changed in that respect.
The fact that you weren't able to log in to access its content doesn't
mean it wasn't online for those of us that had the requisite security
clearances.

Dizwell was, of course, password protected because I didn't want
people accessing my material, but it turns out that, with Wordpress,
you can mark individual articles as "private" and leave others as
"public" and thus achieve "differential access" to articles without
the need for a site-wide password. I plead guilty to not having used
Wordpress since 2004 and thus not knowing this fact before.

But now that I am aware of this fact, it is evident that the global
password protection turns out to be unnecessary and instead, I've just
marked 389 technical articles about Oracle as 'private'.

So yeah, the specific form of the 'article protection' mechanism has
changed, but that's about it. You (one) still can't access my
technical material about Oracle... which means, fundamentally, nothing
has changed. Google is still prohibited from indexing my site. The
wayback machine will still not be able to show you my old material. I
still won't answer technical queries about anything related to Oracle.
I still have given back my 'ACE', and I still won't participate in OTN
forums or anything else that purports to be an 'Oracle community'
endeavour by way of providing technical advice. Which is why I will
only post something here when people like you post stuff like this
that is need of correct and my attention is drawn to the fact.

Whilst I can't stop your silly insinuations that you only had to wait
long enough and my site, with all its material, would be back in
business, the fact is, the suggestion is demonstrably false. Indeed,
the tenor of both your comments is one factor in making it certain
that it will *remain* demonstrably false: I predicted some in the
'oracle community' would react this way. You two have entirely lived
down to my expectations.

In case the posting on March 31st wasn't clear enough, I invite all
members of the "oracle community" to steet a wide berth around the
Dizwell site. It contains (and will contain) hardly anything they and
their ilk will find of interest but is intended solely for me and my
fallible memory and my family and friends who'd quite like to know how
the wallabies are getting on.

Two typos. My apologies:

...when people like you post stuff like this that is need of correct

and my attention is drawn to the fact.

Should, of course, have been:
..."that is in need of correction..."

And

...I invite all members of the "oracle community" to steet a wide

berth around the Dizwell site

should, of course, have been
..."steer a wide berth..."

It is a pity your site is not available to all and the Oracle related
content publically indexed by Google. I for one learned a lot from
your site and the ease of Google searching meant I often found myself
there.

It appears you have a hand at photography too. Boise is a very
handsome and photogenic wallabie!
