Blog Changes
June 24th, 2010
You’ve probably seen a flurry of updates today – that’s because I’ve loaded the most recent posts of another blog I started writing behind a firewall, and I thought I’d share those with you as well.
Oh, and did you notice the new name of the blog, and that the blog language is back to English? Yes it’s true, and it’ll stay that way.
M-A-O-L will focus on (Database) technologies and maybe a little bit of social web stuff. More private posts will be posted in a new blog for friends and family – to be announced when it’s ready.
Larry Ellison über Jonathan Schwartz
May 13th, 2010
Ellison says he learned that Sun’s pony-tailed chief executive, Jonathan Schwartz, ignored problems as they escalated, made poor strategic decisions and spent too much time working on his blog, which Sun translated into 11 languages.
“The underlying engineering teams are so good, but the direction they got was so astonishingly bad that even they couldn’t succeed,” said Ellison. “Really great blogs do not take the place of great microprocessors. Great blogs do not replace great software. Lots and lots of blogs does not replace lots and lots of sales.”
Schwartz declined comment as did Sun co-founder and former Chairman Scott McNealy.
