Have been using the Blackberry Curve for sometime now and disappointed with the options to 'snooze' a reminder on the calendar appointment. The only two options provided by Blackberry (BB) are 'snooze 5 mins' or 'dismiss'. Before the BB I was using 'blackjack' from Samsung and with its MS OS it gave me the option to 'snooze' a reminder '5 mins before start'. With this option it is pain to 'snooze' the reminder every 5 mins.
With help from reading & researching....discoverered that we could extend the 'snooze' to more than default '5 minutes'. I increased the limit to 10 minutes and set the default alarm for '15 minutes' before a appointment....it is close but not the true impact.
How to change 'snooze 5 mins'
a) Click on the 'applications' (bear's claw) button beside the 'green' button on ur phone when in the 'calendar'.
b) This will open up the with various choices...look for 'option' choice
c) After choosing the 'option' choice, it will open another list of choices. Select the 'General Options'
d) In the "actions" section, change the value for 'snooze' to '10 mins'
e) Save your changes and your all set.
Again not a right solution....something is better than nothing..

Oracle Application Express - Baby Steps
It has been sometime since I have been toying with the idea of working and using Oracle Application Express. It was at the BIWA Summit last year in Dec that I came across its use and salient features when BIWA Team demonstrated that their site was build using Oracle Application Express (APEX).
Since then have been surfing various sites on APEX and some of the following sites were really helpfull in getting me started and excited

** Also would give Patrick the credit of getting me to buy the book Beginning - Oracle Application Express . A good start for a beginner like me.

The above are just few of the list but there are many other good blogs or reference material available in the web world.
Going forward, I will try to blog and write about my experience with APEX. I will not promise but definetely make a good effort.
Before I sign-off on this note....just a brief touch on What is APEX?
Oracle Application Express is a rapid application development (RAD) tool built on Oracle Technology. It is available free of cost with all the oracle databases. Moreover, it is browser based and does not need to be applied onto client machines. In other words, it is close to using MS-Access.
