JJJ at BuddyPress has some Helpful Resources for Ning Users. I’ve seen smaller startups rush to fill the space left by Ning’s announcement they’re getting out of their free tier, but honestly if a company with $120,000,000 in funding can’t figure that business out, I wouldn’t hitch my horse to a company with $5-6M. It’s better to get a $10/mo hosting account you know will be around forever and install BuddyPress and have complete and total control over your network, from the domain to the source code.

The post is a little late since we came back to the hotel in the wee hours of the morning and I had to get up at 5:00am this morning.
Anyway, The morning’s keynotes again were quite good especially the one from Ubunto. I attend another packed Facebook session and one from Ronald Bradford. It was the first time I head him speak and he is very good.
I didn’t attend many of the afternoon events because of customer commitments but the remain group at the hotel had a passionate discussion on Oracle role in the MySQL community so its far from over and Oracle has one year to fix it. See you all next year

We were honored to give a closing keynote talk at MySQL Conference & Expo 2010, and wanted to share the video with you. Why start a new database company? What is RethinkDB all about? What will database technology look like twenty years from now? In this talk we explore these questions, present some of the exciting technology we’ve been developing at RethinkDB, and show how it fits into our larger vision of what database systems may look like in the future.

Back in November 2009 I was working on a project to port Scribd.com code base to Rails 2.2 and noticed that some old plugins we were using in 2.1 were abandoned by their authors. Some of them were just removed from the code base, but one needed a replacement – that was an old plugin called acts_as_readonlyable that helped us to distribute our queries among a cluster of MySQL slaves. There were some alternatives but we didn’t like them for one or another reasons so we’ve decided to go with creating our own ActiveRecord plugin, that would help us scale our databases out. That’s the story behind the first release of DbCharmer.
Today, six months after the first release of …

Hi,
Was exploring IO::Socket for some test automation I'm looking at
doing.
I found a lot of examples on talking to the server side, but not
really any good ones on how to recieve and process on the client
side what the sever sent in response.
After playing with it for a while today, I finially got the
basics working and wanted to share incase others are wanting to
deal with 2 way comunication. The main thing to remember is the
$_ and what it is used for.
Examples:
Cleint Side:
-----------
use IO::Socket;
$sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
PeerAddr => "127.0.0.1",
PeerPort => 1234,
Proto => 'tcp') || die "Error creating socket: $!";
print $sock "test\n"; #test coms and start a chat
while ( ){
print "$_"; # The servers reponse will be in $_
if ($_ ne "MySQLD is now …
