Maybe Next Year

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

One of these years I will finally get a talk accepted for OScon and actually be able to attend. I always hear good things about the conference and it seems like my company almost has its own track this year.

It Finally Happened

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Back when I first heard that the MySQL source code was being split into Enterprise and Community editions and that the Community edition binaries would be release only every few versions, I knew that there would soon be a project to provide binaries to the community of both editions by a third party.
It didn’t take […]

Speaking Twice at the MySQL User Conference

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Reporting Swag at the 2007 MySQL UC

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

In an effort to get back into swag reporting I’ll be doing the SwagReport.com thing, this time from this blog instead of a specialized one (the separate site never really seemed to work out).

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

I just got word today that I will be speaking at the 2007 MySQL Conference.
I’ll be doing a three hour tutorial version of my popular 2006 session on Managing Data Hierarchies (strangely they backdated my title in last year’s session listing; I was a Technical Writer for MySQL AB at the time).
This year session I […]
