Oracle OpenWorld 2016 Cloud Services and Products Summary

4 Days (almost 7 for me) of Product Directors and Managers spinning as many plates in the air as humanly possible, all being tossed into the Cloud with a fervor only matched by the lack of compensation being provided for conventional technology stack sales, left me with some specific value-adds for my time spent (not including the Safe Harbor information, we can’t say anything about….sshhhh.)

Note: (I’m EBS-centric and we have very little budget for hardware, so while I was amazed at the new SPARC S7 processors with on-board encryption and J/SQL optimization, alas they didn’t make it into my summary pages this year.)

Momoiro Clover Z – Black Weekend (Black Sabbath – Sweet Leaf cover) Lyrics (translated to English)

ももいろクローバーZ – Black Weekend Kuroi Shuumatsu (黒い週末) – http://idolyrics.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/kuroi-shuumatsu-%E9%BB%92%E3%81%84%E9%80%B1%E6%9C%AB-lyrics/

(Translated out of absolute curiosity. The original song by Black Sabbath “Sweet Leaf” is a song about marijuana and smoking pot. So I wanted to know what these young ladies were actually singing about.)

Black (dark or sorrowful) Weekend

Basically composed as an anime theme song about “Brave Raidin” – a precursor to Ultraman back in the 1970’s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_Raideen

Black weekend, come on Raideen! (ref. to Yusha Raidin – a super robot anime series)
Black weekend, come on Raideen!

No more laughs today
Had to cut my power
I’m on the verge of crying
Black weekend, come on Raideen!

Where are the tickets to the promised land
Deprived of freedom, this doll can’t sleep
A Cold, hungry never-ending nightmare
Whose fingers point to those who do not approach
Wanting worship, more and more!
I am left longing, longing.

I curse this timing
Had to cut my power again
{My nose is bleeding, is that supposed to happen?)
Have courage, then…
Black weekend, come on Raideen!

After being buried in mud and covered in poison,
I was left in silence with my weakness

Tore open a door, shaken to the soul,
I heard a crying voice
Slapped me awake
Something said that brought joy to my soul
Heard the voice once more
Have resound, brave Raideen!

I feel my pulse
The beat awakens me
Abracadabra!

[Away! Ha, ha, ha, ha, Hah! What!?]

Standing before me with dazzling eyes
I see a god of salvation
He has chosen me
We move on together and believe!

I pray you understand this is not what I wished for
To be banned and proud of being in darkness

With regret for being born
Crippled by my own loss
I have appreciation for what I’ve received
Kept alive by giving to others

I know, and you know the pain of suffering
When love doesn’t come, even after praying

Are we clear!? Let’s go!

This is not a school of fear
Leading to a world full of negativity
Grab this opportunity to do more
And I say, Never Let Go!

Hey C’mon Hello Raideen
Hey C’mon Hello Raideen
Hey C’mon Hello Raideen
Hey C’mon Hello Raideen

Together we are invincible, combined like a team
I like strong grips with guts!
I hate half-hearted fighting when it gets hot!
A straight-forward approach is best.

Oh, cruel merry-go-round
With a spiral of tears
Is it a test to bury evil?
After being buried in mud and covered in poison,
I was left in silence with my weakness

Tore open a door, shaken to the soul,
I heard a crying voice
Slapped me awake
Something said that brought joy to my soul
Heard the voice once more
Have resound, brave Raideen!

Thanks to your blessing, no longer afraid of being broken
Or spread like a stain across the broken sky.

I feel my pulse
The beat awakens me
Abracadabra!

I struggled to turn the screw in-time
Like Noah’s Ark
Towards the future
Without a second wasted

Never forgetting the people I met
Like Noah’s Ark
Were embraced
By the Shining Weekend

The Oracle Database 12c “Formerly-known-as-Next-Generation” at Collaborate 13

Here’s why we can call it “12c” – Oracle printed it for us to share in last month’s Oracle Magazine:

Momoiro Clover Z – Neo STARGATE Lyrics (translated to English)

ももいろクローバーZ – Neo STARGATE (歌詞) – http://ameblo.jp/blackparlpiece2/entry-11489481311.html

(translated by request – it’s a little weird spacey song)

Close your eyes, you can hear the voiceless whispering
Let go of your fears and let it inspire you
I don’t know what the symbols mean to evolution
But I’ll tell you about a dimension beyond time
I arrive now to the Blue Earth to travel the stars with everyone
Our gates are wide open, our souls deep asleep
Dreaming among the spiral galaxies
Their light embracing us newly reborn

The beginning of time was never written
We can learn and adapt towards the future
Breaking the old ways and creating harmony in darkness and light
Embracing the depth of one’s own creation, Take Off!

To release the bonds, and soar up to the highest
Learn to care more, the time has come
Old ways give way to the new (shaved as if by a blade)
Now as time marches on
The persistent measure of time is  love
The unknown road lies ahead to ascend

Open the Gate Open your Soul

Though struggle and suffering continue to repeat forever
Every person has their sins, even those who did not want them
But we have cleansed our consciousness, connected together hand-in-hand
Pandora’s box is open and will never close again
People do not realize that the there is only one
Light is always stronger than darkness, and nothing is stronger than Love.

Even going farther than ever before
Dreaming among the spiral galaxies
Their light embracing us newly reborn

To release the bonds, and soar up to the highest
Learn to care more, the time has come
Old ways give way to the new (like shaved by a blade)
Now as time marches on
The measure of our time is permanent love
The unknown road lies ahead to ascend
The gate is now open, it’s not a miracle (if you do it)
Let’s go together great STARGATE

Open the Gate Open your Soul

Romajii version – from http://www.jpopasia.com/group/momoiroclover/videos/neo-stargate::32893.html:

[ABC] Out at the Salvation Army Santa Ana Voc Rehab Facility

October 27, 2011 – about 100 Aramark Building Community (ABC) volunteers joined forces to re-create the interior and exterior of this central Santa Ana vocational training and education center.

I had fun producing the “Pride City” mural.
