Playing with Falcon; MySQL UG Seattle

Right… I now have a bk tree with Falcon here, so I can play with our new storage engine. Builds fine and works. Do ask me to show, when I’m at a conference or user group meeting somewhere! Of course, the integration process is still ongoing. I was fortunate to spend some time with Jim Starkey at the MySQL Users Conference, he’s a very interesting (and funny! very important) guy. Knows a thing or two about databases, too 😉

Still in Seattle. Yesterday evening I was at the MySQL Seattle UG meeting, Brian’s local group. It was fun to meet Wez Maldonado whom I just knew from the Freenode IRC #mysql channel, and Hannah Adams-Collier (CJ’s other half) who recently assisted the community team with the updated design of the “what’s your uptime” t-shirts. We had to shuffle from the regular location because that place was closed on May 1st, but the pizza at the alternative location was most excellent.

The next stop on my trip is Chicago, I’ll be catching a plane in the afternoon.
