I’ve finally had a minute to watch the inaugural video episode of the new web show, Real Time BI, with hosts Kevin McGinley and Stewart Bryson. The show’s concept is great for speed conversation on all topics related to Oracle Business Intelligence.
I was delighted that these guys thought of me as one of their first guests along with Chet Justice of ORACLENERD.com. For some reason my audio came in a bit low so pump up the volume to hear my rants and untimely interruptions to conversation topics.
A big thanks to Kevin and Stewart. I hope that they take this act on the road and get some real-time interviews at some of the big conferences like Collaborate and KScope this year. I’ll look forward to watching some more and I hope to garner and invitation back after the Oracle BI 11g book is published

As a warning, the very popular browser Firefox, has just released its latest update, Firefox 10. They are calling it a security update but it will break your compatibility with Oracle BI 11g (11.1.1.5).
If you don’t install the update you won’t bump into this issue.
If your FF browser is set up to automatically update then you will have to uninstall and re-install the previous version if you want to view Oracle BI 11g presentation services using FF.
So, if I were you I would turn the automatic updates OFF. You can do this through Firefox > Preferences > Advanced on a Mac. Or, Tools > Options > Advanced on Windows.
Although the Firefox update messes up Oracle BI 11g viewing it does offer some really new features which are great for developers.
