Im leavin on a jet plane
Don't know when Ill be back again
Well I'm all packed up and ready to go! Just killing some time waiting for my ride.
I used to live in San Francisco before I moved to Las Vegas so besides being excited about Oracle OpenWorld I'm excited to see how The City has changed and to meet up with some old friends during the week.
At the last second I was able to change my plans so I will be attending most of the APEX SIG meetings on Sunday, I might have to skip out on some of later ones. I'll also be working the demo booth for most the day on monday, and through out the week, unless I can sneak off and see some sessions, and I'll be putting finishing touches for my session on Tuesday.
As Eddie Awad and the AppsLab guys have blogged there will be plenty of ways to keep track of things at Oracle OpenWorld and I hope to add to one or two of those feeds.
Here's my connect card one more time.
So drop by the demo booth to say hi, or come to my session to drill me with really hard questions I can't answer on the fly.
And the original for you purists
And many time my posts contain html,css,javascript code.
And then I need to my escape my html,css,javascript code wrap it in [code]..[/code] blocks blah blah blah. So after about the 1800th time of having to do that I figured there has to be a better way.
Then I remembered Patrick Wolf's Greasemonkey APEX addon and the fact that he always a nice signature in his postings and I figured hey I bet he does that with Greasemonkey to.
And being the wicked fast person I am , with almost not moral problems about borrowing inspiration from someone else's good idea ;) , I figured hey I'll build something like that.... BUT!! I'll add buttons to do the things I need.
So now you get this otn_forum.user.js and you can see the source here.
It adds a couple buttons for quick formating and escaping html and also adds some default text for your posting.
Which is pretty easy to customize just open up the file before you load it and edit the last couple lines.
It's a very simple script I know and I'll be adding some more buttons and features but truthfully for me that's what I needed, easy and to the point.
If you have anything you want specifically add drop a line, I'll try and get it in. Or take a look at the documentation have a go at it yourself , it's surprisingly funner than it looks.
p.s vi in the house!
doh! had to do small edit now it works right 11:30pm
