A rotten little apple by Ashley Harding
Apple has had a nasty Safari bug since December which breaks SmugMug, Facebook, Gmail, and lots of US banks.
3 months later, it’s still not fixed. Your only option is to use Firefox if you’re affected.

Do you plan to take the MySQL Certification? Or, are you just curious to know how good you are at MySQL ?

Well, it is not like the real certification, but it's fun, and some of the questions are hard enough to give you pause. The MySQL Quiz Application was created by Dave Stokes, the MySQL certification manager. Thanks, Dave! |

South Californians, mark your calendars! On February 24th at 7,30pm the Los Angeles Meetup Group will host Chris Schneider, Facebook DBA, who will talk about "Scaling MySQL".
Now, if I talk about scaling MySQL, I will refer to personal experience in my consulting career, when 10 million people connected all at once to my customer's web site. You may be interested in the story or simply yawn. But when a Facebook DBA talks to you about scaling, 10 million connection is low traffic, and scaling takes a completely different meaning.
In this meetup, Chris will talk about different methodologies used at Facebook to deal with their scaling issues. If you are near Los Angeles on February 24th, you don't want to miss this …

I'll be going into detail what is Sharding, how to Shard,
pitfalls of Sharding, performance/throughput gains, shard roles,
and performance scaling in general. I hope to make this the most
comprehensive talk to date on the subject in 45 min.
The topic is called Scaling a Widget Company. I'll detail how I
setup the data layer for Rockyou. How many transactions per
second Rockyou is at, what the infrastructure is comprised of,
how 99.999% uptime is achieved and hopefully get into BCP which I
probably will not have time to go over.
If you want me to focus on specific aspects on the subject of
shard'ing let me know and I will :).
