Ubuntu and Drizzle — Run Drizzle on your Narwhal: OReilly MySQL Conference & Expo 2011 – OReilly Conferences, April 11 – 14, 2011, Santa Clara, CA.

I gave a talk this week in Santa Clara at the MySQL Users Conference. I think it went pretty well and I got a lot of feedback from Ubuntu users about the positives of having Drizzle available in Universe.The slides are available at the link above.

presenting “blog on a narwhal”

Posted by on April 13, 2011 6 comments

Since we’re just about to 11.04 beta2, I figured its high time I start using Ubuntu Server for my personal blog.

What? Almost a year at Canonical and my blog wasn’t on Ubuntu server? Well, for over 5 years now, a personal friend has provided me with a free Xen virtual machine to run my blog on. I migrated it off of Debian then, which was sad for me, but back then I was so focused on working I didn’t have time or resources to be picky, so I said OK.

Fast forward to now, I’ve been working on Ubuntu Server and getting ribbed by my co-workers about that “crappy CentOS xen box” they’d see me logged into.

Well thats all over now. I decided to marry all the new tech I’ve been playing with lately into one glorious blog migration. Read more »

Fewbar.com migrating to new server..

I’ve begun a migration of fewbar.com to a new box.. more details to follow… the site may be a little weird for about 1 hour while DNS propagates.

Such a profound question..

My First Upload to Ubuntu

Posted by on April 4, 2011 No comments

Last week, my application to join the ranks of Core Ubuntu Developers was accepted by the Ubuntu Developer Membership Board. The process is a bit humbling, as when you dig through the roster of this team, there aren’t a lot of names, and most of them are quite familiar to anyone who has done Ubuntu Development, as they fly by in bug reports and changelogs at an almost superhuman pace, fixing, improving, and generally making Ubuntu more awesome-r.

So, a few hours ago, I made my first direct upload into Ubuntu without a sponsor. Its just a little upgrade to squid’s upstart job to make it start more reliably. I hope its the beginning of a string of uploads that will continue for a long time, and help me earn the badge that I’ve been granted.

Many thanks to all of my sponsors up to this point, and a special nod to those who were able to add a positive comment to my developer application.
