Off to Melbourne (again), consulting/training clients

Off to Melbourne again, consulting for MySQL HA and performance tuning with a few different clients Mon-Thu. I was in Melbourne already last month, and will be there again in a few weeks for custom training. Hmm, is there a (flight)pattern there? 😉

Also visiting Stewart this afternoon. Good company, good food.

Might have a few moments to hack on OurDelta patches along the way, and with the glory of bzr I can even do regular commits while offline to gain that quintessential backup to recover from potential sillyness. Die svn, die!

On the subject of clients, Open Query can now quote some well known local names, such as CSIRO Parkes Observatory, EDS/HP New Zealand, and TransACT. There’s a difference between having a client and getting okidoki to mention them. Quoting clients -particularly local ones- is important as other potential customers sometimes look for references: in terms of dealing with a business that’s new to them, but they often also try to seek out names of other local companies they possibly identify with to aid their adoption of MySQL.
