Zend CE has a Worm
Апрель 29th, 2012After updating the AVGFree virus definitions, I was surprised to find that Zend CE (Community Edition) 4.0.6 had a worm in the JavaServer.exe file. There was greater surprise when Zend CE 5.3.9 (5.6.0-SP1) also had the same worm.
This is the message identifying the worm (click on it to see a full size image), and you can read about this particular worm on the Mcafee site:
Unless you have the full version of AVG or another security program to try and fix the file, you can only quarantine the file. Quarantine or removal disables Zend CE from working. It begs the questions, “how does Zend release a core file with a worm?”
I’ll update this when there’s a fix to this problem.

Collaborate 2012 – Day 4
Апрель 26th, 2012Last day of Collaborate 2012 and Scott Spendolini, Sumneva, gave a great presentation on APEX. Only caught the beginning Jan Visser’s Perl presentation because of the distance to the Luxor from the Mandalay South Conference Center and anticipated queuing time for checkout.
We can now look forward to Collaborate 2013 in Denver, Colorado.
Back to observing and working with code, here’s a nice article from MacWorld on how you set up a WebDAV on the Mac. While I’m mentioning Mac OS X and development, there’s still no firm upgrade window for the missing text editing tool – TextMate.

Collaborate 2012 – Day 3
Апрель 26th, 2012Virtualization is important and Dave Welch from the House of Brick gave a great presentation of experiences with VMWare and Tier 1 databases. It was a comprehensive presentation, but the white paper was easier to follow. The slides were complete but the volume of information was a lot for an hour presentation. Well worth the time though.
Utah Oracle User Group (UTOUG) announced a call for Fall Symposium papers today. The Fall Symposium will be in Salt Lake City on 9/6/2012. If you’re interested in presenting on Oracle or MySQL, the call for presentations will be open until 6/15/2012.
The conference party was tonight, and it provided some nice orderves and pizza. The theme was a return to 1980s music, and some folks really dressed their parts. You can listen to a short snapshot of the band by clicking the image to launch a small video segment.
I’m looking forward to the APEX Behind the Scenes presentation at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. When the conference is over, I won’t miss the smoke filled air that we walk through from the Luxor to the Mandalay. It’s really amazing that the complex is more than a mile in length. It runs from the Luxor to the Mandalay South Conference Center.

Collaborate 2012 – Day 2
Апрель 25th, 2012
It seems the Titanic is everywhere, even inside the pyramid of the Luxor hotel. While the Luxor is within the Mandalay Bay complex, it’s about a half mile walk to the conference and a half mile back. We go by the Mandalay Conference Center’s aquarium. We thought it might be interesting but at $18 an admission, we opted to pass on it. It’s amazing to have an aquarium in the desert, but it’s probably not as nice as the Monterey Bay aquarium.
It was interesting to start the day listening to Rich Niemiec on partitioning tables and using Exadata in Oracle. The NoSQL (Not Only SQL) presentations were interesting, as was the upgrading of Oracle 11gR2 in an E-Business Suite environment presentation. Then, I finished the day with what’s new with the Oracle VM Server.
Checking out the exhibit hall I managed to get a signed copy of Rich Niemiec’s Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Performance Tuning Tips & Techniques and a copy of MongoDB The Definitive Guide.
