Alright so I thought I might throw my $0.02 into the whole fanfare about Sun acquiring MySQL. I think it was a surprising but good move. Sun has a lot to provide, is likely looking to strengthen their platform, and appears to be committed to open source. While it remains …
My server has had quite a wild ride and it has taken some time to get back up to speed. Basically, earlier this week, I put in a maintenance to replace what appeared to be a failing CPU or bad RAM. Turns out there was more busted that I thought …
So for the past week or so my Windows box has been having really strange issues. I don’t use it too terribly often in favor of my iBook, but I do use it for composing my music and playing WoW. The latter is important since Brandon, Amy, Sean and I …

I had helped a customer (who shall remain nameless) setup multi-master replication as a means for fail-over. Well, their network configuration …
So last night I had my first run in with what skunks really smell like. At about 2am, Chaucer (our dog) wanted to go outside for his midnight poop (he’s old, it happens). So Corey went to go let him out, only to find a skunk right on our back …
