Database design with Data Modeler together with Ari Hovi

June was busy. I started it with teaching database design with Data Modeler together with THE famous Ari Hovi. Working with Ari was just great! And I think our students learnt a lot in those two days.

After this course I made a trip to Tampere to teach a room full of people how to use Data Modeler.

Three days of pure database design and Data Modeler. I was exhausted but really happy that so many people are interested in database design. Unpacking and packing again...

OUG Harmony 2012

May and OUG Harmony. First in Aulanko, Finland (May 30-31) and the in Riga, Latvia (June 1). I do not usually speak in my "own" conference but this time I was asked to tell about Data Modeler in Finnish. And I enjoyed it a lot! Usually my presentations are in English but this year I have been speaking Finnish quite a lot: I have presented at Oracle events (for customers and for partners), I have given some courses and finally presented at the Harmony. New page on my book just turned...


OUG Harmony was great! Aulanko is so beautiful, presentations great and food and drinks just amazing. And we had our own band playing at the night club. We may call it the "OUGF band" because we really saved the band. They just lost their bass player (he plays keyboards, very confusing, so bass keybords I guess) and we (the OUGF) found them a new bass player just perfectly for the Harmony. User groups can do anything:)

Next Harmony to come: April 16th, 2013....

MOW2012

April and the traditional MOW. Legoland, crazy Danes,... you know what I mean if you know Mogens...and if you do not, I think you should attend MOW2013....

MOW stands for Miracle Open World and it all happens in the exotic country called Denmark. The conference has been in Legoland for some years now and housing is in Lalandia (waterpark). I think you got the picture now:)


I was presenting at the conference and telling how you can benefit from Data Modeler when designing your databases. You design them don't you?

Not just techie

I am not "just" techie. I also run a company called Miracle Finland Oy. It is a company focused on data and managing data. I am so proud of our company!

I have been studing at Haaga-Helia and Aalto Uni to learn how to grow a company. I graduated last June and learnt so much! And the company is growing...which means that I am even busier:)

RMOUG Training Days 2012

February. Denver and the Rocky Mountains. My first visit at the RMOUG Training Days. I had two presentation in that fantastic conference. I just loved it! I had my two sons (Patrik and Matias) as my assistants and they sure tackled all the technical difficulties one possibly could face during a presentation. The feedback was great and I can not wait to be back! Just submitted new papers for RMOUG Training Days 2013....

IOUC Summit 2012

Yep, on January 2012 I attended the IOUC (International Oracle User Groups Community) Summit at the Oracle HQ again as the representative/ambassador of EOUC (EMEA Oracle User Groups Community). Good meeting with great people. Next IOUC Summit will be held January 2013. It will be a great meeting, I am sure!

Long time no seen

Woops. I see it's been long time since my last post. I have been busy, must admit. I have not been travelling as much as before but I have been working on Data Modeler very hard and I have learned to like the tool! I will post you some memories from events from January since today and maybe then I will post something about Data Modeler. Who knows....
