   for whatever reason, there is a HUGE demand for etl and bi developers here in FL. Data Warehousing is evidently strong in these parts. You wouldn't know this from reading blogs/twitter/etc but there is quite a bit going on here.

    So true. Delicious would always be my go-to place for anything I ever wanted to know about Oracle. For years I'd search delicious before even searching google or metalink. It's a shame that this is being closed.

    what is the best way to get whitelisted for more than 360/hour API calls? I'm trying to do some network analysis and data mining and am held up by the API limit. I've applied about 4-5 times and have been denied each time.
