My hunch about #Oracle nomenclature on new database appliance is not to cannibalize low-end #Exadata sales and margins. But it will.
21 Sep
Hmmm...I don't think I've ever stayed for every day of any vendor's conference. I doubt that most users do either.
21 Sep
See you all tomorrow in Boston at #Forrester #BPF11
21 Sep
Making good progress on the #Hadoop Wave. Nailing down the facts with the vendors first.
21 Sep
I'm already up to speed on Broward County FL home prices. But if I ever need a deep dive, I know you're there for me Lynda.
21 Sep
#Oracle 's doing interesting things. I'm up to speed on the important things.
21 Sep
Influence swings like a pendulum do.
21 Sep
@hornpolish OK. That's clear. 4TB user data per node. Hence $6.25K per TB usable data on the new #Oracle appliance. Not too shabby.
21 Sep
@teradatanews #strataconf I'm not able to make all days of your conference either, but \U guys never seem to mind. Appreciate it!
21 Sep
@teradatanews #strataconf LIkewise. I get around. Fall conference season is jampacked. I balance & rebalance my road schedule dynamically
21 Sep
Catch me at #Teradata Partners on Mon-Tues Oct 3-4 in San Diego. Skipping OpenWorld this year.

Datasheet for #Oracle DB appliance (bit.ly/oGK6Ni)
21 Sep
@hornpolish Thanks. They need to send a data sheet on this.
21 Sep
@pythianfielding #OracleDatabase The screen they showed on the webinar said 4TB. What explains that?
21 Sep
@ddelmoli Yeah, this is essentially a downsized lower-cap cheaper version of #Exadata for SMB OLTP+DW.
21 Sep
RT @pythianfielding: Oracle Database Appliance list price: $50k for 2 nodes #OracleDatabase JK--Thanks. If 4TB/node, that's $6.25K per TB
21 Sep
New #Oracle low-end DBMs appliance can run in single-node, "RAC 1-node," and Oracle RAC configurations.
21 Sep
Curious why #Oracle not calling this low-end product #Exadata.
21 Sep
#OracleDatabase customer testimonial said good price-point. Hey #Oracle what's the price of the new appliance? Pay what "as you go"?
21 Sep
Curious how the #OracleDatabase appliance announcement will eat into sales of quarter-rack #Exadata solutions for OLTP+DW workloads.
21 Sep
RT @OracleDatabase #Oracle announces immed avail of Oracle Database Appliance (yhoo.it/o1u7Y6) JK--OLTP+DW. SMB. 4TB, 2-node max.
21 Sep
@john_mcgann Thanks for the dial in.
21 Sep
@dboyll #oracledatabase Thanks. Fixed that problem. Now, need to dial in.
21 Sep
Hurd mentions Q&A. Is this interactive or what? How do we ask him a question on the call? #oracledatabase
21 Sep
The intense reverb on Oracle Executive Database Product Update Live Webcast is killing me. @OracleDatabase #oracledatabase. Twist the knobs!
21 Sep
@OracleDatabase #oracledatabase Viewing is one thing. But this has been promoted as "interactive Webcast." Is it something different now?
21 Sep

#BigData . No, technically, it doesn't refer to all the new stuff crammed into my inbox after 2 days away. But it might as well.
21 Sep
Machine learning (bit.ly/9fbv2H). Algorithms that automatically adjust own behaviors based on inferences derived from observations.

Settling into autumn. Watching what few remaining strands of hair I have fall from the golden canopy of my cranium.

RIP Dolores Hope. Both she and entertainer husband lived to be centenarians. What are the odds against that?

Netflix' brand split. Hey businesses everywhere, go ahead and rename the products you see declining. Hasten customer churn. Go ahead.

The "Big Data: Keep It Small, Stupid" preso at #strataconf got more immediate and positive tweet feedback than anything I've ever done.

Listening to Tom Jones "Help Yourself" from his greatest. The true heir to Dean Martin as channeled thru Elvis.
20 Sep
Enjoying the taxi rerouting thru Harlem.
20 Sep
Listening to Tom Waits "16 Shells from a 30-Ought 6" from "Beautiful Maladies." Nobody can use an ugly voice as gorgeously as this man.

Wanna thank longtime bud Wayne Eckerson for accosting me post-speech at #strataconf and interviewing me under get-to-airport duress.
20 Sep
Listening to Pere Ubu "Make Hay" from "New Picnic Time." Song that blew my dorm room mind in 1979. Their live show warped me permanently.
20 Sep
Central Park's rock outcroppings. You best believe all of primeval Manhattan was similarly contoured. White man gouged it flat.

Love how IT peeps often speed thru word "parallelize," making sound like "paralyze." As in "we're going to paralyze execution of our code"

Another great one from Cory Doctorow at #strataconf : "I love the cloud...when it's just a whiteboard doodle."
20 Sep
No, I don't plan to use a colonoscopy metaphor in my #strataconf preso on #BigData today. I love a juicy metaphor but even I won't go there.
20 Sep
#strataconf Presenter said "short of a full-blown colonoscopy of someone's servers." Figure of speech made me smile.

20 Sep
"The ROI Of Next Best Action: Measuring The Lift From Improved Customer Experience" (bit.ly/r6LMwV) JK--Catch me Fri at #bpf11

"Next best action" in a govt policy context. Often, we haven't a clue what's the best step. But we legislate & regulate anyway. #strataconf
20 Sep
@timoreilly at #Strataconf "algorithmic regulation" (ie, trial & error, outcome-based). Data scientists call this "real-world experiments."

Federal CTO Aneesh Chopra just walked into the speaker lounge at #strataconf. Talking with @timoreilly . Looking forward to their panel

#Strataconf is the #Bigdata show. Look at this agenda. Look at these exhibitors.
20 Sep
#strataconf Data science, real-world experiments, predictive models, multivar stat controls, observations, A/B groups. It is science, period

Cool Bio Channel profile of The Rollling Stones. Mick's charisma + Keith's guitar + plenty of badboy antics built their buzz. Great rock too

No, when you pass thru the subterranean steam issuing from a Manhattan street grate you are not magically transformed.
19 Sep
Listening to Lou Reed "Dirty Blvd." His most plainspoken, gritty, & gripping homage to Manhattan. "Somewhere a landlord wets his pants."
19 Sep
Listening to Lou Reed "Walk On The Wild Side" from "Definitive Collection." Imagine if Cole Porter'd written about his actual NY encounters
19 Sep
Listening to Lyle Lovett "Walk Thru The Bottomland" from "Pontiac." Have NY sidewalk 2 self now. Free to sing about the NJ lady & her cowboy
19 Sep
Listening to Lyle Lovett "LA County" from "Pontiac." His country is at home across the whole country.
19 Sep
Some Turkish place on 47th. Chose it for sidewalk seating. Drinking iced tea. Eating sirloin. Well done. Listening to Feist "Sealion."

Experience optimization. It's your journey, man. Don't let anybody tell you different.

Yes, I cover territory. You ever seen me walk. I still scramble like between classes at Holmes Jr High.
19 Sep
Love Lexington Avenue. The neighborhood and quiet urbane restaurant ambience.
19 Sep
Every traversal of a Times Square crosswalk is an "Abbey Road" moment.

Ok, NBC, enough with the overkill marketing for "Whitney." I couldn't escape cute sassy young professional living-in-sin lady in LA either.
19 Sep
Met a fellow Livonian at the cocktail party tonight. Erika somebody. Churchill grad. Not sure what year. Nice lady. Lexis-Nexis. Atlanta
19 Sep
Listening to Sleigh Bells "A/B Machines" from "Treats." Any resemblance to next best action is purely intentional.
19 Sep
Enough of the cocktails and screaming tech gossip over gins and tonix. Back out on Times Square. Facebookers prepare for luminous imaging.

You know, I'm going to be royally pissed if #Macy doesn't include 100-ft #Hadoop elephant in this year's T-giving parade w/Santa on his back

Central Park South at Fifth Avenue. Breathe deep! Aren't we all nostalgic for that old-timey urban ambience of fresh horse manure.
19 Sep
Predictive food fads. In future, all consumables will be tiny nutrition-free pellets sold frm carts & at carnivals. Dippin Dots is harbinger
19 Sep
Afternoon rush hour stroll thru Central Park. The throngs are regular towns people plus regular business people plus regular tourist people
19 Sep
Homeless people garbed in many layers on a 70-degree day. I suppose they're warding off the chill within.
19 Sep
Love Times Square! Much milling about. Many grand electrical commercial spectacular spectacles. Crossroads and mercantile heart of it all!
19 Sep
We all lean way too heavily on J. Schumpeter's "creative destruction," A. Maslow's "hierarchy of needs," & T. Kuhn's "paradigms."

@acroll #strataconf "Analytics analyst" is anal to the nth, and, yes, I humbly stand accused.

Theme of #strataconf JumpStart is "the business of data." An MBA-level strategic business focus on uses of data & analytics. All good.

A multi-story ad for the Mary Poppins Broadway show. A smaller one, near street level, of Zooey Deschanel as "that girl"? No. "New girl."

Of the commercial #Hadoop distro forks, the ones that prevail will be those inside leading #EDW solution appliances.
