  • Please everyone attend my Mix-contest winning presentation at OpenWorld, I'm sure there will be some mention there of which presentations are the Mix winners, and enjoy the Visual Dashboard Design blog. I've been blogging for 10 years now, that's right, 10 years! From 1998 to 2002 I posted entries at http://sstein.tripod.com that look like a blog, using my own home-made HTML code to make it look just like modern blogs look today. The blog got some nice attention back then and my content was syndicated in 1999 by a since-defunct start-up website called The Daily Drill. The Daily Drill was an early cut at a portal, and my content was one of many topics subscribers could choose to include on their portal page. We didn't have RSS feeds back then, I just e-mailed them an Excel spreadsheet with a few months of content at a time. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1999_Oct_20/ai_56641821 Also those years gave me a real-world education on how to carefully, methodically promote a website without hurting (spamming) people, and as a result I have gotten feedback over the years that the content helped people and they appreciated that I encouraged them to follow me to the valuable education that my blog provided. I am still at it... these days I host a podcast that Mix members might like, called Visual Dashboard Design. www.blogtalkradio.com/BI-Dashboard-Steve So what's all this got to do with the Mix? First of all, good luck to us and thank you and everyone who develops and uses the Mix, and everyone who voted for, commented on, and/or took interest in my presentation. There is really nothing I can say that fully expresses this appreciation. I hope that my use of the Mix that you speak about in your post results in a winning presentation and blog that is truly valuable for the Oracle community... Visual Dashboard Design using OBIEE and Hyperion et al. for Business Intelligence that that adds value to the companies we work for, and improves the daily life of the people who work there.
