With the introduction of BPM 11G Oracle provides a series of pre-integrations that allows BPM processes to be surfaced within WebCenter in the context of other relevant information and applications.

As mentioned by Jake, Oracle Open World is nearly upon us! As usual, the hordes will descend upon Moscone Center in San Francisco September 19-23. I'll be there on the 16th to get a pre-briefing with Oracle along with the other Oracle ACEs. I'll only be giving one talk this year, but I hope you'll be able to make it!

Creating and Maintaining Internationalized Web Sites (S315784)
Time: Sunday, Sept 19, 3pm
Location: Moscone West L2 room 2007

The majority of IT organizations realized long ago that managing content was not a business that they wanted to be in. To address this, these organizations implemented some form of a content management system to allow business users direct management of content within their web sites.

A bit of fun for Monday::
Here is the CSS3 Song::

And Now The nodejs/jquery Simdraz games engine Song::

And finally a song from our sponsors ;)::

This challenge has been up for a couple weeks now.. Sorry if it’s old news to you …
Think your a creative javascript ninja?
I certainly don’t.. Not when I look at some of the entries!!
This is my favourite so far with canvas thrown in..
If you think you can create something better and are [...]

I’ve been suffering with email issues this month..
So if any one has tried to send me an email to bluestudios this month, sorry.. Im not ignoring you.. Outgoing mail has been working fine but nothing is coming in..
Hopefully be fixed this weeked..
J.

If only it was a couple years earlier and I think I would of actually applied for this!
Why? Well, I believe it would be the chance to work with exceptionally creative people both in design and technology. You would be challenged and be able to bounce ideas off one another; this is one of the [...]

Last month I created a quick desktop app with Adobe AIR and Sencha (formerly known as Extjs) connecting to the people connections rest service.
Since then I have tidied up the code and have been playing with the idea of testing it out on the iPhone, Android & Blackberry device.
You`r probably asking how do convert it [...]

Just kidding its not all that bad

Ok.. So I did a couple more screen-cast of a few minor updates of the Simdraz Engine.

So a few minor updates -
- We have animated the building location, so now when you start to build tiles go underground collect your building and show up.
- Hover over buildings now fades to 50% so you can see [...]

Usually I`d put this on facebook but I thought it was too good and so thought I`d share it with the world.

zz..zz I`m a bit tired to write much tonight; but I got excited when I came across this!
The Render Engine a MIT Open Source jQuery Games Engine.
Released only a couple days ago. The project was started last year by Brett Fattori..
And I have to say reviewing the source it looks good! Actually very good and [...]

Yes!! We are working on it!
Currently only Chrome and Safari from what I can see support websockets; but we are including this functionality. So; if you are using the AIR version of the Simdraz engine or a browser that supports websockets you won`t need to worry about AJAX request and polling even though AJAX is [...]

Check this article out. ~
I`m always working on improving the Simdraz engine and this little thing looked awesome!

Although canvas still has someway to go for me before I would contemplate using it…
Think of making multiplayer classic gameboy engined games with chat!!

Many companies have been adopting Social Media and Enterprise 2.0... some of them because it sounds cool, some because they have money to burn, and others because they actually have a strategy. But eventually, the big boss will come around and ask, "What are we really getting out of all this time and energy? Let's calculate the ROI!"

At this point, you might want to brace yourself for disappointment...

Wow.. Is all I can say after watching Paul Bakaus of Dextrose discuss his chosen technology stack on the Aves Engine. [Great work guys!]
I started the Simdraz engine back in early September 2009 as a hobby with a colleague; at which time I had never heard of  the Aves games engine until December time where [...]

Oracle Open world is approaching fast and I`m still unsure if I can make it.. :(  fingers crossed I`ll be able to make this one with a few others from Ether Solutions.
And if so, I`ll be heading over to the apps lab team trying to get a sneak peak at the latest PS [...]

So here`s a quick update on progress made.
Before if you can remember we showed you a small clip on navigating around the map and the village with a few trees dotted around.
Today I have a small clip showing you a new type of context menu we are working on..
It’s Still very early days so please [...]

Ok so 30 mins before I leave for the airport check this out!

Ok, so here it is my Chromeless Adobe AIR App Demo!
I wish I had more connections setup at the time of the demo.. But going on holiday tomorrow so little time to add connections and make a proper presentation..
But you can see the Sencha JS framework in action pulling the webcenter data from the REST [...]

So recently I didn’t have much luck convincing the Oracle AppsLab Team to start creating Adobe AIR desktop applications for Webcenter Spaces The good news is however they are creating browser extensions which are just as good and not only for 1 browser. It looks like they have been working on Chrome, Safari and [...]

Well, I have to see that it is amusing to see that google are using animated sprites instead of animated gifs?
Just hit the Google site this morning..
Any one want to comment on why?
Here is the animated sprite in question..

ok; so the old entrance to Blue Studios  was just some text :(…
So I thought over the weekend the enhance the entrance, I hope you all like it.
The Digaset site and our Open Source jQuery Games Engine site are temporarily down whilst we do some updates.

It's time again for the Oracle UCM Community Webcast... and this one will of course focus on what's new in 11g. I strongly encourage you all to attend this one, since you'll be able to get answers for all your burning questions about 11g that you have been afraid to ask... as well as the ones Oracle wasn't allowed to answer until after the release!

You'll need to register for the event in order to attend. Be sure to log in with your company's email address so Oracle knows who you are!

Kyle had a useful tip a while back about a little-known feature in Oracle UCM: the WebUrlMapPlugin which allows friendly URLs for Site Studio pages. It's extensible, which means you can add your own friendly URLs to the map if you wish.

It’s that wonderful time of the year where I get to go out - chill, relax and forget about the fun world of work.
This time I`ll be spending 3 glorious weeks relaxing on my own, by lake Bled in Slovenia.
So, if any one happens to be in the neighborhood and wants to go for a [...]

A quick headups -
I`m too busy with WebCenter to blog about this  - so head over to Fishbowl Solutions for more info.

Good news! The 11g version of Oracle UCM is finally available! This version is a bit of a re-write to run on top of the WebLogic application server. Oracle has been talking about this release for some time, so I'm glad to see it finally available.
