Tomorrow I'll be at Loadays to discuss about Percona Toolkit

I hope to see you there if you want to discuss about Percona Toolkit or any other cool stuff Percona is working on related to HA like PRM and XtraDB Cluster.

I already uploaded the pictures of Fosdem and especially the MySQL & Friends devroom:

Thank you to all visitors and speakers !

I hope you enjoyed it an see you next year !

Once again, I will spend my week-end in Brussels for the FOSDEM.

I will start on Friday with the traditional Beer Event.
On Saturday, I will visit some stands and attend to some talks... and in the evening, I will take part of the MySQL & Friends Meetup.

If you search me on Sunday, I wil be locked in the MySQL & Friends' Devroom. I will finish my fosdem by a presentation related to Percona Toolkit.

See you there and enjoy Fosdem 2012 !

Like every year now, MySQL & Friends will meet in Fosdem the night before the MySQL & Friends devroom. If you want to share that moment with us, please register here : eventbrite

Thank you, and see you there !

It's now time to collaborate on this main event !

This even is for the MySQL Community by the MySQL Community and therefor we want your small contribution to prepare the schedule.

The deadline for talk submission was last Yesterday. Now it's time to vote for the talks you want to see in the schedule.

Everything is explained on this page (thank you @datacharmer) : FOSDEM 2012 MySQL & Friends proposals

So, open your mail client or your twitter client and vote now() !

The MySQL and Friends devroom is Room H.1309 (150 seats). We will be there on Sunday 5th February 2012, all day.

Thank you and see you soon in Brussels to talk MySQL and/or have a nice Belgian Beer ;-)

Since a while, everyday at 8pm, my N900 was complaining because it wasn't able to sync one of my calendar (my corporate google calendar). I never really paid attention... but yesterday I decided to fix this.

The calendar sync is done using erminig-ng.

My first action was to save the backtrace and have a look at it... I could understand that a integer was provided where the code was expecting a string.

So before fixing this, I decided to get the last source code... mmm... and then the github reposirory of thomasvs made my day ! Indeed this guy already fixed the problem and explains that on his blog. He also provides a package to update erminig-ng on the phone :-)

Thank you Thomas to not letting me reinventing the wheel !

2012 is near... and so is the next FOSDEM edition !

This year again, MySQL will be represented by its Community.
If you want to discuss with friend's of MySQL it's the place to be in February !

Like every year, FOSDEM takes place the first week-end of February in Brussels.

The MySQL and Friends devroom is Room H.1309 (150 seats). We will have the room on Sunday 5th February 2012, all day.

We are organizing a MySQL & Friends dinner on Saturday night, more to come later on this.

If you want to propose a talk (you are in fact invited to propose one !), the deadline is December 26th.
Like we did on past editions, as soon as the talks are submitted, we will ask everyone to vote on the talks via Twitter or email.

Propose your talk now() here.

Thank you and see you soon in Brussels to talk MySQL and/or have a nice Belgian Beer ;-)

Hello,

Today I published on mysqlperformanceblog my first article !

This blog post is about MySQL infinite replication loops: understand them, find them and fix them.

You can read this article here

I hope to find nice topics to write about in the near future.

I read this today :

"If we have each one egg and we exchange them, we still each have one egg. If we have each one idea and we exchange these ideas, each of us will have two ideas"

... that's #devops isn't it ?

If you want to meet me, I will be speaking at Percona Live in London this October

I will be presenting during the two days, on Monday Oct 24th during the tutorials I will present the MySQL DBA Swiss army knife. This is a technical session about the daily tools you must control as MySQL DBA. You will have your hands in the oil as we say in French and we gonna discover together how useful and powerful are those tools.
We will cover different topics like performance, maintenance, ...

On Tuesday I will present two talks during the conference:

1. Deploy MySQL like a devops sysadmin
2. MySQL partitioning: the Spider solution

I hope to see you there and if you plan to join PLUK 2011 and you still don't register, I can provide you reduction voucher code, just contact me by email or on twitter.
