MySQL Camp II

Ok, so the MySQL Camp II officially starts in 8 hours and 9 minutes. If you are in New York, it behooves you to attend.

MySQL Camp II is sponsored by Polytechnic Institute, Logic Works, Too Many Connections (free MySQL Camp T-Shirts!), Proven Scaling (Lunch) and Google (Coffee).

I expect a lot of cool discussions and meeting with old and new friends. I will be interested in talking/discussing about:

Optimizing data architecture for InnoDB,
Speeding up MySQL replication,
MySQL disaster recovery,
Setting up QA environments that mimic production
Optimizing MySQL on Solaris 10
MySQL and DTrace

The Naked MySQL DBA: My ISAM is bigger than yours

I had a wonderful evening tonight with Jay Pipes, Paul McCullagh, Marc Simony, Ronald Bradford, Tania, Taso, Jeremy (not "the Jeremy" who along with Sheeri was missed) and my wife. We met at The Village Pourhouse for Pre-camp party organized by my good friend Ronald (thanks!).

One line said at the gathering (don't ask why):

"The Naked MySQL DBA: My ISAM is bigger than yours"

That called for a once-in-a-lifetime laughter. It was just so funny.
