At MySQL we believe quite a lot in peer review - after all, we are open source! I read this comment about some cluster tutorial slides and thought it was quite funny
in the split brain and some other picture there is a grayed-out blotch in the middle which looks like a contraceptive device for copulating clams - what is it?
OK, back to killing bugs.
It’s no great secret that I think the stability of OpenOffice.org2 Impress in what’s shipped in Ubuntu Breezy leaves a lot to be desired. By ‘a lot’ I mean copy and pasting is unreliably and the Slide Sorter just stopped working for me without crashes (in at least one document).
However, I took the plunge and did something I usually don’t like doing - installing non-official debs.

I am now a much happy camper.
Saving is still amazingly slow, but the lack of crashes has made my week.
doko is my hero for the week. A Tip Of The Hat for him.
Hola,
I really got to get organized. There's just too much little
things that seem to remain unfinished for...well, like forever.
So, I'm pushing some of the nearly finished or at least usable
stuff to the web. Maybe someone else might benefit, and maybe
I'll get the kind of feedback that will take it to the next
level.
Every so often people ask me the question how should they estimate memory consumption by MySQL Server in given configuration. What is the formula they could use.
The reasons to worry about memory usage are quite understandable.
If you configure MySQL Server so it uses too small amount of
memory it will likey perform suboptimally. If you however
configure it so it consumes too much memory it may be crashing ,
failing to execute queries or make operation to swap seriously
slowing down. On now legacy 32bit platforms you could also run
out of address space so that had to be watched as well.
Having said so, I do not think looking for the secret fomula to
compute your possible memory usage is the right approach to this
problem. The reasons are - this formula is very complex nowadays
and what is even more important "theoretically possible" maximum
it provides have nothing to do with real memory consumptions. In
fact typical server with 8GB of …
There have been some really cool postings at PlanetMySQL that I
have been wanting to read and blog about. However, since I have
been really busy (temporarily), I haven't had the chance to do
so. Following is the list of posts I really liked, or would like
to read at some later point.
At the MySQL conference Timour Katchaounov presented one of my
favorite sessions. I have my notes from the session speeding up queries posted on my blog.
Recently, Timour was kind enough to email me the links to his and
some other talks at Google.

Thanks Timour!

I have been really enjoying the "How I work" series by Dave
Rosenberg as it provides very good insight into how our peers
work.
Here are some of my favorites (no particular order):
Brian Aker
Sheeri
Kritzer
Jason Gilmore
Mike Olson
I have been really busy working on a few projects for clients and
haven't been getting any free time. Hopefully this weekend I can
reply to everyone who has been kind enough to email me.
Just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Markus on
joining the MySQL web development team. As he says, it
must feel great to work for MySQL. Man, I should have hung out
with the "right guys" at the conference too ;)
Congratulations Markus, I am sure you will help MySQL conquer
more heights.
