If a MySQL DBA from Pythian goes to Oracle Open World, it would be a shame not to send an Oracle bloke, so there I am — presenting a 90-minute session on the first day of the OOW 08 entitled Under the Hood of Oracle Clusterware.

A big thank you to all those who attended the memcached webinar
today on which I was a panelist. I was told that there were more
than 560 registrants.
The feedback I received directly and indirectly shows that there
is a lot of interest about memcached. In the future, I hope to
work again with MySQL/Sun on more memcached related
webinars.
If you attended the webinar and have some suggestions, comments
or questions, please contact me at fmashraqi at yahoo dot com or
post a comment on this blog.
Special thanks to Jimmy Guerrero, Monty Taylor, Rich Taylor,
Edwin DeSouza and Alex Roedling for their hard work in arranging
the webinar. Also thanks to Brian Aker, Matt Ingenthron and Trond
Norbye for their assistance at various phases.

I spent Thursday and Friday in Zurich,
Switzerland visiting my friends Marcus and Caitlin and attending the Google Open Source Jam.
