The end is nigh for Adobe Flash at My Oracle Support. The first step will happen during this weekend’s planned maintenance of My Oracle support, when all of MOS will be down for 5 hours starting at midnight eastern, Saturday January 28. Once it comes back up, the unadvertised non-Flash supporthtml.oracle.com will come up as a quasi-user acceptance test of the new application, while the flash-based support.oracle.com stays as-is. And once the bugs get worked out (“in the coming months”), the flash-based support.oracle.com will cease to exist and point to the new HTML-based site.

With winter and its cold weather starting to set in across most of the world, now is the time when travelers start to think about warming things up. For most, that means flying to hot and sunny destinations. Another way of looking at it, however, is to head out for a different kind of sizzle. There’s perhaps no better way to heat up the chilling months with blogging. Let’s snuggle up in this Log Buffer Edition with hot blog posts in Log Buffer #255.

The 2012 edition of RMOUG Training Days in Denver less than a month away, running February 15 and 16 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
