Over the course of a workday I tend to accumulate lots of browser
windows, and even more tabs inside them. Up to now, I would
often lose track of what which tabs were open in which window and
in which space. In the end, I would often just open a page again
in a new tab of the window I happened to be in at the moment,
increasing the overall clutter.
With the advent of persistent application state across reboots or
application restarts as well as fullscreen apps in Mac OS X Lion
that situation has gotten even worse.
The "Window" menu in Safari does not help too much, because it
only shows the tabs of the currently focussed window. Today,
while wondering why a website was not displaying correctly, I
accidentally found a remarkably simple (and built-in!) way of
showing all open tabs across all open Safari windows.
Just hit Cmd-Alt-A or pick "Activity" from the Window menu in any
Safari window to open or focus the …
Thank you ;) Nice!

Thank you. Great news.
It’s August 1st, 2011, and five years ago on or about this date (who can remember clearly?) Peter Zaitsev and Vadim Tkachenko founded Percona. What’s happened in the last five years?
We’re a privately held, privately funded company of over 50 employees distributed globally, serving 1200 customers worldwide with support, consulting, training, and engineering services for MySQL. Our revenue isn’t public, but we’re proud that we’re able to keep all those people busy and help provide for their families. We’ve contributed significantly to improved performance and advanced functionality in the MySQL server and InnoDB storage engine, and created the first and only opensource hot-backup tool for InnoDB, as well as many other open-source software engineering projects.
We’re happy that we’ve …
[Read more]1. Backup outside of the Cloud
Some of the high profile companies affected by Amazon's April 2011 outage could have recovered had they kept a backup of their entire site outside of the cloud. With any hosting provider, managed traditional data center or cloud provider, alternate backups are always a good idea. A MySQL logical backup and/or incremental backup can be copied regularly offsite or to an alternate cloud provider. That's real insurance!
2. Use alternate regions and availability zones

I will be presenting Care and Feeding of a MySQL Server for Linux Adminstrators twice in August. The first is August 2nd at the Oracle Office in Frisco, Texas at 4:30 PM (Suite 300 ,7640 Warren Parkway, Frisco, TX). We will have refreshments, door prizes, and a discussion about having a meeting (or two) in the Irving office.
Come be cool with us!
The second will be August 19th, in Plaza B, Hyatt Regency Vancouver at 3PM at Linuxcon North America.
This presentation developed from requests from Linux Administrators who know MySQL runs great on commodity hardware. But they want to make sure that they get their servers set up to get the best possible performance. This is a presentation to turn anyone into a DBA after forty minutes. But it will help a Linux admin create the foundation for great MySQL servers. Topics …

I am quite excited at the MySQL Labs feature to have a Binary log API .
The reason is that I see this as a possible disk-based queuing
system for MySQL.
An example of how you could do this, is instead of having a
trigger with its own overhead, you could create a program to
parse the binary log and run a trigger yourself a little bit
later with no "real-time" overhead. As in, it would be run when
the user isn't waiting for it.
You could also, for another example, develop a program that
counts the rows in a table and update memcached directly, instead
of querying MySQL for it.
This can already be done with other queuing systems like Gearman,
but with this API, you can develop other APIs or applications on
top of it. Like, memcache_table_counter demon.
In any case, it would be very …
