Hi,

for the whole week I have been in training in Cupertino.  Basically, what is covered is HA/Cluster/Performance tuning.  Nothing very special this week,  I just continue to discover MySQL from the inside and I’m pleased with what I see.  Tonight, we have a dinner with our VP, Ulf Sandberg.  Since such a large proportion of MySQL employees work remotely,  such events are important make ties between people.

I started looking at the MySQL proxy and although some may argue that features it allows should be in the server, it is so easy to do interesting things.   Of course, I will have to learn LUA and… of course Jan had chosen to use LUA 5.1 and my brand new Ubuntu Feisty Laptop has LUA 5.0.  Anyway, I don’t really need to compile it right now, there is a binary version available.

I almost done with the configuration of my Lenovo T61, yesterday I got my bluetooth working.  What I actually had to do was “modprobe hci_usd”, “modprobe ibm_acpi” and then press “Fn-F5″.  With this my bluetooth starts working but… I lost my wifi and I had to reboot in order to get it back.  Not very fun but now, at least, I can transfer my picture from my bluetooth to my laptop.  I need to learn more about bluetooth.  That’s all for now.
