Early on Sunday Day #3, I dragged a few willing participants out
for a “different photo” based on the umbrellas in each Lobby. It
worked out well. Special thanks to Kynan who ran around to other
lobby’s to find additional umbrellas. (He is the one holding the
white one, and yes, that’s a utility Kilt).
I’ll be uploading more in this series to My Flickr Photos MySQL Camp 01 soon.

MySQL Replibeertion was the last scheduled session on Day 2, but not withstanding there was free beer (a lot of), there was a serious side with a Replication Discussion.
One of the first questions by Jeremy was “Are the any big replication users?” to which Sheeri quickly replied “Are you calling me fat again”.
This was a highly interactive session, here are some of the points from the audience.
Some Uses of Replication
Issues
Continuing on from my Day 1 - Memorable Quotes from the MySQL Camp.
“Are there any big replication users” — Jeremy “Are you calling me fat again” — Sheeri
“Only some of us have problems with interruptions.” — Jeremy to Jay
“It really really sucks in production systems.” — Jeremy About Slave management by Master.
“So there are like 12 people here, it must be the CEO’s turn to talk.” — Marten Mickos MySQL CEO
“Kegs and Eggs” — Joel S. Regarding all beer that will still be available at breakfast tomorrow.
“You can fight to the death for it”, Jeremy to his two employees Joel and Justin about who gets to be called employee #1.
“Patches go to employee #1″ — Ronald directed to Joel when a replication patch was coined by Jeremy and …

Plenty of people are writing highly technical stuff from MySQL Camp including your’s truly. However there needs to be a lighter side here, and well this is it, Memorable Quotes.
“That’s moderately easy to difficult.” Brian Aker talking about table_funcs in A MySQL Core Kernel
“That’s Trivial, it’s less then a day’s work”, Monty, also in “A MySQL Core Kernel”, of course Monty said “It’s Trivial” several times, and that’s fine, it probably is trivial and is a day’s work for the guru’s, the problem is there are presently 6,000 trivial day’s work on the list of things to do.
“I’m trying to estimate when my finger will fall off.” — Jay Pipes You had to be there. I will say no more.
?You work for InnoDB, right? — Dathan Vance Pattishall of …

Yes you got it, even while in the restroom here at Google (you
can’t say toilets here in the US, because that’s the device),
Google keeps you occupied while standing or sitting with the
writings of “Testing on the Toilet”.
In Episode 19, TOTT talks about “Converting Old Style Tests”. An interesting read, rather then the daily grind of the front page of USA Today, plus as well as something that can be obviously changed at a longer frequency.
So how was the toilet experience here at MySQL Camp. Well you have toilet warming seats , my first experience, it was a little weird, and then you get the builtin “bidet” as well, with the ability for front cleaning, rear cleaning and then drying. Now that was really weird.
There has been a policy of what photos we can and can’t take and that’s cool, so I can’t post a copy of it. I will however show …
[Read more]The great thing about this unconference, is the lack of total formal structure. For now , our first session we are having an open introduction of people, there are at good 60+ people here already, and people rolling in, and it’s great to hear people’s background, and also to bag Jeremy Cole at every opportunity. We have a variety of people from various backgrounds, companies and experience levels.
We are in the Kiev room, with power build into the desks, lots of desk space and full 360% swivel chairs. This is just another example of the company’s clear thinking about it’s requirements.
There have already been some very funny stories, I should have made more earlier notes. Here are some.
Adam Ritter (Proven Scaling ride winner) was the first to bag Oracle, really bold move with Ken Jacobs from Oracle …

I’m outside enjoying a very lovely Danish and Orange juice with
Jay and Leslie, and like 3 motorised scooters and a guy on a
skateboard goes past. Did I mention how cool this place is!
Back in the foyer and Sheeri is sitting in the leather massage chair, as more people start streaming in. She has her laptop there and is IM’ing her boyfriend.
“So I’m in a massage chair at Google head quarters”. And his response is , “like right now”. Well here will be the photo and video when we find somebody with a card reader for my camera.
Jay’s looking a little worried, registrations are now over 200, 202, yesterday is was 150, and like 3 days ago, still in the 70s & 80s. People must have found out a free event at MySQL. We are going to kick people out that don’t contribute. It is a unconference.
So now that I write this, registrations are at 206.
So like two minutes later, some official looking Google people come over and saw “Come on over and get your Google Shirt”. So before the last past is even cold, we have our own Googlewear.
A minute later, Leslie is back again saying, guys and lady (Just for Sheeri), “Contintental breakfast is ready in the room”. Now to check out the Google Food!
