MySQL Workbench
Was just introduced in the keynote and looks kinda cool. It isn't packaged in Ubuntu yet, which is a shame...
MySQL cluster stores in RAM!
Argh! MySQL cluster currently stores in RAM only. That means if I have 100 machines each with 4 gigabytes of RAM, then I can store 200 gigabytes of data! Hurrah! That's at least what I learnt in the tutorial, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Conference Wireless not working yet?
So, there are two access points with the ESSID "MySQL-Hyatt" that I can see from my coffee drinking spot here in the foyer. iwlist tells me that they have encryption off, which matches what the conference handbook says should be the case. No DHCP leases are being offered though. I guess that means that the conference network hasn't been commissioned yet. Oh well. Update: Oh, it works in the conference rooms, which have a different ESSID.

Off to the MySQL tutorials
Up at 5:50am, dressed by 6:30am, and leaving the house by 7:10am to get on the VTA light rail by 7:30am. All because the tutorials start at 8:30am, and I want to catch the train instead of using up fuel...

Registered for MySQL User Conference 2006
Well, I registered a while ago, but I picked up the conference satchel et cetera today. It's a canvas satchel much like LCA 2005, but with fewer goodies (and more paper). There is one cool thing -- I got to pick an O'Reilly book about MySQL to have in the bag. Interestingly, there is a SCAMP CD in the bag. That's Sco, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl. Hmmmm. Kinda in poor taste that one me thinks. Everything else is cool. That is all.

MySQL User Conference coming up
Stewart has a new toy for his MySQL User Conference presentation, which is probably for the best as I fully intend to ask why MySQL replication is so unreliable, why Innodb hot backup appears to hate me, and lots of other biting questions if I think of them. It does make me wonder what other Aussies are going to be in town for the conference? I have a survey for you to complete: My name is: ________________________________ I am arriving: ________________________________ I will be staying in: ______________________________ (name of city only please) I would be interested in drinking so much I fall off my chair: yes / no (please circle) I would like to know where you can get Coopers beer in Silicon Valley: yes / no (please circle) Is Frys really as dodgy as it looks? yes / no (please circle) Let me know if you're going to be in town for the conference, and perhaps we can all get together and do something geeky. If there aren't too many of you, then perhaps I can organise a tour of the Googleplex or something. Hopefully it wont be raining the whole time like it has for the last few…
